Well, I took the job and we arrived in Cheyenne yesterday (or Cheyoming as my family has taken to calling it). Moving into our place over the next few days.
It was a career step I couldn't afford...
Link worked for me.
Man...I thought things might be improving some for the BigLaw folks. I'm way out of the loop on those firms though. Doing environmental pseudo-law.
I'm not doing much legal work, but I get to...
Well, we talked salary and it would be a 50% raise for me - which would be huge. And I have chatted with a few folks about the city (friends who are/have been stationed there). Sounds like it could...
Cropduster pilots are crazy - saw one duck under a set of powerlines and pull up to dodge some trees that couldn't have been more than a couple hundred feet from the powerlines. The maneuver had a...
Wow...this place sounds awesome.
We will see how the interview goes and what the offer is (if anything).
6'3" - Tacoma isn't that bad as long as it isn't a single cab. Driving the in-laws I don't have the seat all the way back, although it is a manual so I sit a little closer for mashing pedals - I...
So I have an interview for a position in Cheyenne, but have only driven past the city a couple of times. What is it like? Awful place, great place, etc.? How far to decent skiing/hiking/etc.?
...
From my experience (which is flying copilot for work numerous times):
You can go places. The pilots I have flown with frequently take trips to the coast (a 5 hour drive becomes a 1 hour flight)...
I would prefer manual, but I haven't seen many that meet my Manual + Crew Cab + Long Bed except for duallys. And I don't really need a 250/2500, much less a 350/3500. The extent of my hauling will...
I am still looking at buying a beater truck (as per thread from like 5 months ago). I have found a couple of older ('95-'97) Diesel F-250s. They have the 7.3L Powerstroke engine and range from...
I'm not going to say you shouldn't - but you should think long and hard about why you want to go to law school and what you want to do. There are a plethora of articles about how terrible the job...
So 2 years after graduating I finally got steady employ. It is pretty ideal for me (working at a land trust - some legal work, some ecology, some non-profitty stuff), but it happens to be across the...
Went and wandered car lots today and I think the minivan + beater small pickup is pretty likely.
I have done some work, but we packed up all my tools into the POD, so I have no wrenches. And this stuff is beyond my technical capability (head gasket starting to leak). It is getting 16-18 with...
This is what we have - a 2004 Subaru that for some reason is getting balls for gas mileage now.
This is currently what we are thinking. Stripped down slightly used minivan for the wife...
For my car I'm not so much concerned about snow performance. I'm concerned about clearance and getting-unstuck when driving through heavily rutted dirt roads, random ditches in the middle of the...
So my wife and I are trying to figure out what to do about our cars, a bit of a blog and a bit of tech advice and a bit of financial advice sought. We have a pretty high chance of moving from OR...
I just got back from travelling and finally got around to checking gold prices.
1820 +/- per ounce. Holy crap.
Seriously thinking of selling my inheritance krugerrand's - how hard is it to...
Yeah, that's not going to happen. This car is totally paid off - even at $1600 for the HG I'm still coming out ahead over trading it in.
Thanks for the tips. When we finally find a place to move into and aren't couchsurfing I'm going to get this done. Then brakes next month (or so).
I have done brake pads before, but never rotors - how much additional headache are we talking about?
Tools wise I have a full socket wrench/crescent wrench set and a few other 'specialty' things...
Okay, took the Subaru in to get the O2 sensor replaced so we could pass emissions. The independent Subaru place here in PDX came back with a list of things that need to be done (I have not had to do...
Have the expenses been conversion related or engine related? Do you think the expenses would hold true now (more engines to pick from, more experience with the conversion)?
The TDI is intriguing,...
Did exactly the same - exactly the same experience. I wouldn't recommend the Droid for my mom because it isn't as intuitive, but if you can use a computer you might like the flexibility of the...
Update from my end:
Drove from PDX => Park City. Somewhere in middle of nowhere ID/UT it started surging, etc. Replaced fuel filter. Hobbled into PC. Wife tried to go to the grocery store but...
My nephew found a GoPro at Loveland Pass, looks to have been lost ~2 seasons ago.
This dude is on it: http://i.imgur.com/GOV8x.jpg
If you know him or are him, send me a PM.
Anyone know...
Awesome end to the whole playoff series.
Oven liner foil + toothpicks for holes is how I have done it.
Alternatively google finds this - don't know jack about it but at $5 can't really go wrong. (Google finds a bunch of other stuff,...
In GA it was Oskar Blues' Old Chub. But I haven't seen it in Oregon (haven't been really seeking it out though).
Right now it is New Belgium's 1554.
Hair of the Dog's Adam may be my favorite...
trying to avoid having to rent a truck, load a truck, unload truck into storage, rent a new truck, load it, unload into house, etc.
Talked to UPack - if we knew for certain we were moving across the country, they seem like the way to go, but they don't have anything like what we want and their storage prices are outrageous. I...
Bumping this instead of starting a new thread.
Wife and I are planning on moving one way or the other - either to a new place in PDX or relocating for (hopefully) better job prospects.
Current...
My balls retracted into my body reading that.
Glad to hear you are still alive and kicking.
Might check into the Bilstiens then - the Van is a bit spongy at time. We are planning on sticking with the 14 wheels and have some sort of Maxxis light truck tires on them (that the previous owner...
Agreed.
Work from home for more money? Do it. Yeah it may suck more, but you can relocate to anywhere (find cheap housing), ski in the AM, and you can pay off bills.
Tagging on another question here. Applying for a 'dream job' for me with a non-profit Enviro Law place in Montana. Working on my cover letter.
Normally I have the very professional sounding...
Ask him to write it for you then edit it. Each time I have had to get recs for a position I have had at least one or two of the folks ask me to write them.
Looks like someone in the family got a place in Island Park, ID. So we will be coming in the West entrance it appears.
No clue what her family will want to do - apparently we have VERY different...
Stephen - you said you didn't upgrade your wheels, are those the standard 15" steel wheels with wheel covers? Wife has been dropping not-so-subtle hints about the wheels since I told her we can't...
We do the same.
All I did was change the oil and PS fluid. You make me look like a wimp ;) Fuel filter change is next. Going to wire in a relay so I can't leave the lights on and then do the...
This is about the only thing I disagree with in this thread. I know a lot of people think that place shits golden tacos, but I have never had anything better than an overpriced anglo attempt at a...
Wife and I just started it a few weeks ago - enjoyable, and if you liked Torchwood definitely check it out (I couldn't do Torchwood, but might like it more now that I have the Dr. Who background).
...
That's just funny.
Find another friend that brews beer.
Trade eggs for beer.
Live well.
Blame it on places like Portland.
Good timing on this thread - I was talking to the wife about this a few days ago. At the 'tentatively thinking about' stage for doing the W-EMT through WMI. I looked into the local EMT-B classes...
Awesome recommendations, I will definitely bump this when we are closer to the day for hiking/places to see recs. My wife's family will probably never take a trip out this way again and they don't...
Wife's family wants to meet up in Yellowstone for a week. None of us have ever been and have no clue what to expect. This will be second week of July or so.
Anyone have any recs on places to...
