Oregon and Washington BS thread

snowgod let me know if you are in pdx tomorrow night.

robert, thats how you butcher!

 

Look into the internships at the Boeing plant in Gresham. They pay a few bucks over min with beni's.

 

ps robert send me those antlers for my pup

 

The Boeing internships at the Gresham plant lead to direct hire jobs. Average pay at that plant is $39.40 an hour. They will also help pay for you undergrad if you get hired. They have a couple pipelines through PCC. you can even get a tour and mock interview if you follow the aviation program's career listings.

 

Rob, you still going to be in town tomorrow night? Let me know, I rarely drink but if you're out and about I'll go have a couple Irish car bombs with ya As long as you have a DD

 

The real party is in Rouge Valley lol

 

Is that implement on the front for grabbing round hay bales?
Also, those antlers get cut up and sent to pet stores in 6 inch pieces and sold for $15 or more. Might as well let any of your dogs have them for a chew toy.

Let us know how those springs work out. How much extra lift should those provide? These may become one more thing I have to buy from you.

 

Whiner. My 1-car is small enough that I have to pull out if I want to to get to the passenger door. I have to put the door up, go out the house door and walk around to get to my trash can.
to get in the truck in the morning, I have to slide sideways with my hands in the air to fit between the front bumper and the laundry dryer.

I'm also in Oregon this weekend, but probably full up with stuff to do through the weekend. Tomorrow is doing a bunch of fiddly time consuming stuff on the truck and then helping get a vanity set up in my parents master bath. I might be at the RV show Saturday.

If anyone else has Monday off, I'm thinking I might be near the REI in Beaverton for dinner. I need to look for better ski coat than this POS Columbia that I've got.

 

Mike, if you have time to wait, the REI garage sales are a great way to save some money on the same gear. You just have to get a little lucky.

 

I went to one and it was worse than black Friday. If you want anything big like that, you gotta have big elbows and be one of the first groups of people camped out.
This weekend is some 50% sale so might still be good. Also, trying to get it before going on a snowmobile trip next weekend

 

quick notice here:

FREE FRONT SHOCKS AND SPRINGS

I probably should have made mention of this earlier but I didn't think about it until now.

Will (penguin_cc) gave me his factory suspension. The rear leaf springs were passed on to Kolt already. I still have the u bolts for them if anybody wants those.

What I also have are the factory Bilstein shocks on factory springs. I was going to swap those into my truck, but have changed my mind to go in another direction, eventually.

I live in Lake Stevens. I will be going down i5 to 405 (in Lynnwood), then to i90 on Tuesday. Anybody that wants these can have them. I am not looking for any compensation, but I am in a time limit to meet anybody. I won't have time to meet outside my house until I am leaving Tuesday as I make my way to Spokane.

If you want them, PM me your phone number and we can discuss you picking them up.

 

Mike, what time you thinking and where for Monday night? I don't work that day but have class at night. Let me know!

 

Hell no! haha. Elk antlers go on the wall!

I have a couple friends that are interning there this summer. Both where really excited to work there.

Yup, we're stuck with round bales. Having the grapple makes it pretty easy to deal with them. Hopefully within the next year we'll pick up a big square baler. Nope! Antlers go on the wall. No way they are dog chow. That's what leg bones are for. haha

Had enough batteries to power a fleet of prius' today haha.

 

Got rid of my Thompson yesterday. Traded it for an AR, Mauser, and a 91/38 Mosin. Plus 100 rounds of 7.62x54 and 49 rounds of 8mm. Ended up selling the AR for $750 today.

 

What make AR was it?

 

AXTS lower, Anderson upper

 

Mother of God! I want an AXTS lower sooo bad!

 

I saw some complete lowers at the Portland gun show for $375 I think. Took me a whole hour to sell the AR. I definitely like the Magpul ambi slide release. The release mechanism is sub par in my opinion, it has quite a bit of wobble and catches a bit. But put the extension on a better one and it would make it awesome. Release the bolt with the trigger finger (or in my case, index finger , since I use my middle finger as my trigger finger.).

 

Saw a few stripped or $60 and $80.

 

So what do you guys think... I just placed an order for some 255 85 r16 km2's. I was all set on km2s because the tire selection for 255s is slim... Not that km2s are bad by any means.... However the shop might also be able to get the cooper st maxx' in that same size.... I would love to try some full blown mud tires... But the St maxx's look pretty awesome as well. I am trying to decide if I should change my order by Monday...

And on a side note I will have 4 Duratracs with half their tread left for sale soon if anyone is interested.
