    Hi all, I have been lurking on and off for the past ~6 months. My wife wants to move "back" to Humboldt Co./ Redding area are there any good paying jobs in the area?

    You ever want to hear double speak mumbo jumbo just keep reading the forecast discussion for anything more than a few days...

    http://forecast.weather.gov/product...NX&product=AFD&format=CI&version=1&glossary=1


    My new job includes forecasting water for deliveries and power generation. A couple of months in and I'm fairly certain nobody has any idea.

    So I just checked and yeah, I ran 10 awg for the hot and ground on my first gen. But that it irrelevant now. My 400p is 30A max per the data plate. I'm about to do a five wheel rotation, but I'm not going to tear the harness apart to see what they run on the OEM if I can't easily see it today.

    I've seen other guys install one of those tow truck style quick connect s before, can't recall the name of that type. That would be my next option.

    That's very similar to what I edit and translate for client. I am the thin blue pencil line between the engineer, scientists, and economist I work with, and our clients, who just want to know what the fuck they should do.

    Paul and Matt used to work out of a (much) smaller shop in Orangevale. Good guys, mostly into Raptors. @CalTacoma09 had some shocks done there as well.
