Hello everyone. Sorry I haven't been around much for the last little while. Its been a crazy few months. In June, I went on a vacation and visited Portland again and it really made me crazy to move here. Since then I have done everything I could to get here. I sold all of my cars and parts and pretty much got completely out of the hobby. Then when things started calming down, my Grandfather passed and things got really stressful again and I never seemed to recoup before moving last weekend. Anyway, I am finely where I want to be and I couldn't be happier. I quit my job of almost eight years last Friday, I have a new job starting next week at Target, but I am not pleased with it. I re-did my resume (anyone want to proof read it and give me some constructive criticism?) and am going to go to several car dealerships Monday to work in the profession that I know I can make money in.
Anyway, here are a few pics.
Last Saturday (8-18), I left at 7:30pm and drove pretty much straight threw.
This is just outside of Pendleton, OR at about 5:30 AM. I stopped and tried to sleep in the truck in La Grande.
The Columbia river gorge is so beautiful. If you have never driven it, add it to the bucket list for sure.
I made it to Portland and got all my stuff unloaded, but pulling the uhaul at 90 mph took its tole on the poor truck and I lost the clutch on the way to drop off the uhaul.
Made me very glad that I put towing coverage on my insurance. On the subject of that. Does anyone know where I can get a new clutch for the clutch fan. That also ***** out on the way up here and shakes like crazy. I need to find one soon, but already over spent and don't know how much they are. So the truck is just sitting in the parking lot at the moment.
