NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Yes. Thanks for the decode. 4B11 and 4B12 are the late 2016 and 2017 ECU versions that don't seem to have the major (?) problems that the first 4B10 version did. I don't think it would be a fair comparison to try a 4B10 since the OV tune is different, as is whatever the 2018s are.

No problem. I will be happy to post up what I find.

 

@AWilson013 are you going to interview for that job? I was at the SMT yesterday and was thinking I could crop dust your desk if you worked there.

 

LMAO.

Almost blew coffee out my nose with that visual. What better way to say "Sup" to one of your boys in the morning?

OMG thats funny

 

Talk about an office warming gift

 

Squirts, i mean perks, of the job.

 

lol crop dusting leads to prairie dogging. One of my favs at work is the elevator bomb. You run to the elevator and rip one in there and then send it down to the lobby.

 

oh shit that's funny @JDAM

 

I haven't rode a standup in almost 20yrs, but I do have a FX Waverunner that I like exploring the Sound with. Am always looking for riders to go out with...not sure how you feel about shredding Puget Sound up though.

 

I used to stick to the river with mine. Mainly since I didn't buy tabs or have boaters ed..

 

I applied, haven’t heard back. Got a few interviews lined up next week though.

 

Well shit. Get a job dammit.

 

Well boys, it's been a CRAZY last 12 months... I went from naturally wanting to utilize my CJ Degree from WSU to go law enforcement... to becoming a Fish & Game Warden... to transitioning out of the Marine Corps... to moving to a city (Tacoma) with my wife where I've only visited a few times. I've been working Hospital Security in the meantime, threw my name into the hat for the Longshoreman drawing at the Port of Seattle... was accepted into an EMT Program with an end goal of becoming a Firefighter... was drawn for the Longshoreman as #25 out of 10,000 applicants-- dropped the EMT Program a few days before it started.

Filled out my I-9 and W-4 today so I'll officially be in an "hours race" once training is complete to be a full time worker down in the Port of Seattle. So many changes but thanks TW dudes for putting some sanity into my life! Haha



Also, if anyone knows anything about the Port life, I'd love to hear advice, stories, any tid bits either by this thread or PM

 

That's a lot of stuff. My buddy does management bs for port construction services.

 

Holy shit thats more career changes in a year than I've had in my life

 

@adadandhistruck is a longshoreman in Cali he might have some tips for you.

 

Yeah tell me about it, life is slowing down a little and becoming more clear but it was crazy

You're preachin to the choir Hopefully I'm done now

Sweet, anything is helpful

 

Which hospital did you do security at?


All ive heard on the longshoreman was from a truck driver (at the time). All he'd say is its a great job but run like the mob. (without the killings lol). Pretty much said mess with them and they would purposely make life hell for whoever pissed them off lol. But that was late 90's early 2000's. Guy quit being a truck driver and works with where I do now.

Interesting, I've heard some similarities.. especially with how things "used to be". Reputation seems to be everything, but that's everywhere you go
