    Aw, you're not even up here!

    What's weird about that earthquake is that there hasn't been a single aftershock. In SoCal we would've had six aftershocks by now. Hm.

    Yeah Im stuck here in Oregon for another week still for school.

    And yeah I don't think I've really ever felt much as far as aftershocks go with earthquakes up there.. usually its just the one and done from what I can remember.

    Anyone else get out and enjoy the weather? I sure did. I was reminded what a sun burn feels like.

    For a first truck that price is awesome as long as it's in good condition and the suspension isn't some backyard hack job.

    Got a weird question for you AKer's, what does everyone do for work? Lol, sounds noobish but I wouldn't mind moving to the southern part of Alaska but the only thing I'm afraid of is I won't make enough money there compared to what I make in Houston. I am an electrician by trade but I have been doing estimating / planning / scheduling for about 2 years now in an office and want to change up the scenery. Thoughts? Opinions? Rants? :p

    Just an fyi to you guys I got this email today for anyone with a 05-11 black looking for a hood scoop!

    " Hello,


    I have a black 2007 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport with a black scooped hood. I realize this is not exactly what you're searching for, but thought it might work with a paint job. I've been wanting to get rid of my scooped hood, and have been looking for to trade for a non-scooped. Thanks."

    PM me or something and I'll give you this guys email.

    I think Anna is our only black truck and she's a Sport. Not often you find people looking to trade into a non-scooped though!

    Construction is huge up here. With those skills, you could probably land a decent job. Most people in the industry do pretty well. Work crazy long hours in the summer, then have no/few hours in the winter to relax. Some people make it work, some people hate it!

    Man, I wouldnt mind trading. But i can haz skewp already.....

    Wow, really? I guess so now that slingshot5r left and he had a 12+
