    Oh I'm sure. You should be in one of the buildings at the airport when they take off. I've seen them do unrestricted climbs before and that's cool as hell to watch

    I appreciate it. Two of my wife's family members are linesman and a buddy of mine. Both of them have offered to help me out with it. Just not sure if that's exactly what I want to do right now. 27 still don't know what I want to be when I grow up haha

    Remind me next time that we see each other and I'll show you some videos I have on my iPod

    The one with the towers (we call it fire tower and it's right behind my house)? Or the other one (top of the world)??

    I just turned 23 and I don't know either. I'm a machinist and I really enjoy it, but I don't know if I want to do that for the rest of my life

    Yea I heard about that from some people... I make stuff for the defense industry, both sides. I really enjoy making things, but I think I may like engineering as well or possibly something else? I'm a huge car guy and have been crawling around cars for years so I'm really not sure

    Yup and I don't fit under dash boards/tight areas well so I would get tired of it. I do do side work, working on vehicles for some extra cash though

    Well I'm sure I'll be hitting you up then. I know enough and I'm usually only comfortable doing the work myself as long I have someone who knows what they're doing there with me. Except my suspension. Did all that myself based off the info on this forum. Next when I get back from South America is to tackle the cb install
