NW WA Meet / BS Thread

So the job in Metaline falls I have been coveting for the last 3+ years is finally open. Letter of interest sent, transfer request sent, application done, all bases covered. Wish me luck.

 

You working for SCL? I do a lot of work at Boundary, it would be awesome to have a full time gig up there. Beautiful country.

 

Hes an entrepreneur.

 

That's instatwitmyfacefuckbook.com slang for unemployed right?

 

Yes, I'm a Structural Ironworker here in the city. I love that part of Washington. What do you do up there?

 

To be fair, hes a full time senior at one of the better business schools in the US. But yes, its mostly Rainier and Instagram.

 

Yep, full time business student. Still like making fun of @AWilson013 though.

 

Best part of my day

 

Legit hobby.

 

I am a structural engineer, I designed the spillway baffle blocks (or FKO's, fish killing objects, as the operators like to call them) at Boundary. The good baffle blocks, not the shitty ones. You'll know what I'm talking about.

 

I know exactly what you're talking about. I wanted to do that work. I think I was the only one though. It has definitely made it look cooler when they are spilling.

 

Yeah they really throw the water around. Make sure you've got some bomb-proof rain gear, it tends to rain upwards when they're running. Nice photos.

 

This is full gate open from testing the blocks on Spillway 1 - 54,000 cubic feet per second. The spillway walls were overtopping, they're 22 feet tall.

Something something sexual prowess.

 

Im looking for someone or a group to wheel with. Just moved from CA to the Chelan area so ive got no wheeling buddies anymore. Did a sketchy trip into the mountains solo yesterday, not a real smart idea but I needed to get out there. Anyone close to Chelan?
