    Your just not local. Usually most of us get the hood pass when it comes to speeding. All about who you know and know where to speed. But I drive like an old man anyway.

    Road to Hana, my families from there I can make it there in an hour and twenty minutes on a good late night with no tourists

    So does anyone have a part number for those little rubber bumpers inside the fuel door? Should be two. Guessing Toyota doesn't sell separately. Could only come up with 61709-04020 (Fuel Inlet Box).

    Went to fill up today and some POS stole the rubber bumpers. WTF is wrong with people these days?! Really need to switch it over to the locking door.

    I thought about joining the military when in high school but after I did college. Mainly because i wanted to be a cop at the time. But then I decided 4 year college wasn’t for me and hvac school kinda fell in my lap. So now im on the front line of peoples shitty fridge problems

    There is a severe lack of skilled labor right now. I could get you a job if you wanted. Every kid was told they have to get a college degree to be successful in life so now everyone wants to sit behind a computer in the ac. (Nothing wrong with that by the way, definitely jealous in the Spokane summers). But as a result there's just lack of good help right now.

    I mean how does it it work. Do they pay for your travel or is it up to you to get to the sight?
    I could also care less about benefits as long as it pays good

    I'm a union carpenter so each state has different pay. While in Alaska I was getting Western Washington scale plus 10% for travel. They paid for housing and food. Each company is different but at the very least they have to give you a perdium for being out of town. Once you get with a good company you want to stick with them cause they will usually take care of you. But the nice thing about the union you can literally go anywhere for work. I'm not all huge on alot of the political parts of it but to each his own.

    They are all a little different but mine has treated me pretty well. I'm not sure what other way there is for someone with just a high school diploma to go from working for $15 a hour doing residential custom housing to $40 and full benefits in a 4 year time. As a carpenter you join a apprenticeship program that takes about 4 years to compete. You start out at 65% of a journeyman wage and get a 5% rasie every two classes and 850 work hours. As long as you can show a employer that you will show up everyday, bust ass, and show you want to learn you can do really well for yourself.

    you should, you will. even though you are young, trust me on this - start paying into your retirement now.

    agree - definitely union. they each have their own political issues but they have been and continue to be a necessity in the workplace.

    just as long as its not Garrrrrrrrrry ;)

    Seriously, ever since you two mentioned it I've been google searching just how bad it is. Too bad business pulled out of there and they have had so many financial issues. Still have law though. Still have a community it seems. Hope it gets cleaned up.

    it wasn't bad. It ended kind of funky and it could've been much more with a mutant variable but that wouldn't have been the story. Sucks to think about the possibilities. Overall though, I'd give it maybe a 6. Could have been much worse.
