Happy Birthday Dennis! You must be creeping up on 50 by now :flatten: :flatten:

Sorry to hear your hand is bad again, hopefully it's just a minor setback. Hope the job opportunity works out for you!

I haven't got much done lately, still picking away but slowly :rolleyes:

Do all of the job offers involve moving? Up by me as in north west Washington I assume. As long as you don't mind the rain, it's great up this way, lots of trees and nice scenery :goodjob:

That power hammer looks awesome!! I'd need some serious training to get the most out of it, I wonder if they have training seminars? If I had the money it would be on the way to my shop right now, much better investment than a new car of any sort :goodjob:

I'm not surprised to hear house prices are high in the Seattle area. They're down right crazy where I am, 550K in Victoria gets you a very average house and over in Vancouver it's over a mil for a starter home :splat:

Ya Housing is crazy I will be renting if I decide to come there
Probably gonna go with a older 5th wheel and Monster it to what I need and want.
I will keep my Desert home and just rent it out which has gone way up in value to I might add, I made the right call be not throwing in the towel like most all my coworkers did and walking away from my home, my home never lost any value and is valued at way more than I paid for it then and then some now just as I predicted.

Housing bubble? As if Rel-estate is gonna loose value in the long run?? YA right!
I Couldn't believe how many imbeciles actually fell for that government and Tabloid BS.

Rel-estate doesn't loose money it doesn't go down in value either unless some one wants you to think it does and then if you listen long enough you will tend to believe it and Parrot it your self IF YOU DRINK THERE WATER.

How did the interview go in washington Dennis? If you do move up hopefully you can find a place for a 5th wheel. Not sure what it's like there but here there isn't much, just summer places/camp grounds mostly as far as I know.

That sounds great Dennis. Moving is a pain no matter how you look at it.

Where did Doug get to? Hope the front suspension issue has been resolved.
