    I'm will laugh all the way to the bank when take months for them to get someone hired. My shop will be sending somebody every two weeks to cover that whole time.

    For them to piece it together will not work very well and I'm sure you'll enjoy watching that.

    Oh yes. I will make sure to talk about it to everyone. It's only our highest profit generation facility. I'm sure it will be fine to just hire someone off the street.

    Yep, it will just go towards a VW sportwagen instead of 4Runner or GX.

    Yep, but it's just not necessary in town. We just need something with more room than that stupid ass Subaru.

    I've always like VW Golfs. Solid engineering for the most part, now the electrical is another story.

    I've had about a dozen Vw's over the years and not one electrical issue. The last wife car before stupidaru was a TDI golf, it was awesome.

    Nice, couple friends had TDI's one was a Jetta I think. The electrical problems they had weren't a big deal just happened at a bad time. Though when is it ever a good time lol

    So all the weeks of grief that's fuck wads I work for caused me had a back story. They had already hired the nephew of one of the supervisors from one of the other Dams as a 6 month temp.

    This kid just finished a 6 month temp with Scl that he never should have had. The dams are required to contact us for any extra work they may need to be done, if we refuse then they can hire a temp. They never asked. We found out about him when we had to go to the skagit for work in the summer.

    About 20 years ago, long before my time here, the leadership of the Skagit changed. After that Seattle was progressively shut out of everything up there. Now with the head guy of Boundary retiring this summer we are assuming that a similar thing is going to take place there. We are taking bets on who from the Skagit will take over at Boundary.

    @Juforrest Great work on the truck and nice to see you fabricating a lot of your own stuff. Two question's, how do you like the BP-51's and how are the Falkens in rain and snow?

    @Tridet167 Falkens are seriously probably the best tire I have ever bought. I've had them in the snow many times and think they are fantastic, same goes for rain performance. The BP's are also AWESOME, but I also don't really have any previous experience with this type of thing on a truck. I do have one complaint and that is how the adjusters work. It's not the end of the world since I don't mes with them that much but it is a pain.
