Thanks Joe! Not sure at this point....been working 10 hour days and may be heading up north to work at the railroad here shortly. Life has been nuts. haha I'll try though!

TJ's Chevy · 08-05-2018, 07:59 PM

Little more done today, rad support is done and just needs some cutting and buffing. Rad baffles are primed it...trying to figure out if I'm gonna stick with black or do sliver or blue on those. Almost done with the passenger fender.

Well this project is gonna be on hold for awhile folks. Relocating up about 6 hours North to start a new job with union pacific railroad. Been a life long dream and it's finally come true. Truck will be on hold for awhile but hopefully not to long. I'd like to squeeze painting the hood up this year and then calling it until next while stocking up on parts. Project is taking longer than hoped for but life goes on and when it's done it'll be worth it.

What part of Washington? East or West? What position are getting into? I don't know about these days but in the past, working for UP was a good job to get with good benefits and good retirement.

**Palf70Step** · 09-04-2018, 07:19 AM

Congrats on the job. Be looking forward to progress when you get the chance. WE all run into thpse periods during our life.

I'll actually still be in Oregon at exit 308. So pretty darn close to the boarder. haha I'll be a mech service operator for a couple years. Retirement still rocks with the railroad and that's one large reason I've been wanting to get in. Being able to retire at 50 sounds good to me.

Thanks man! Hopefully progress won't be shortened to much, but with grave yard shifts as a norm things will be slow for awhile.

Been 3 weeks into the new job/life and I'm liking it thus far. Missing the trucks everyday, but I'm gonna get the 64 up here pretty soon. Just thought I'd update you all. Still alive and doing well. Railroad is pretty cool and plenty of work to be done. I'm excited for what the future holds. Until next time.

I cant wait to see what happens next!

TJ's Chevy · 03-28-2019, 11:35 AM

Well folks I'm heading back down close to home. UPRR is laying off and I was on their list. Lined my job back at the saw shop for awhile and that's my excuse to get back onto the 66 full force this year since I'll be closer to home. One thing about the railroad especially now is....ZERO job security unless you have high seniority. Anyhow, enjoyed my time up here and met alot of great guys. But I'm looking forward to getting back onto my truck.

61K10 · 03-28-2019, 02:05 PM

that's the sh$ts TJ, as you said before it might come. Still a bummer. Maybe some of the old farts like me will retire and they will call you back. good luck and get back on that tk.
