That's not wind, that's "coolant booster"

Gotta love more government buerocracy! I am a Sprinklerfitter and have previously worked in Washington for many years in the past. Now the State Fire Marshall requires a "certificate of compentency" before I can turn wrenches in your state. I guess 23 years of experience has no bearing! There was a grandfather clause, but I guess it expired while I was working in Alaska. I spent 3 weeks waiting for previous employers to send me statements of hours worked in the field,only to now find out the Fire Marshalls office won't accept this before I can take my exam in Olympia. I love it when someone tells you that you can't go to work until you meet their new mandates imposed. Tax dollars at work...I've only been out of work for almost 2 years,what's another 2 weeks eh? Wink

It's always a comforting feeling knowing that a bureaucracy is here to keep us safe.

Hope it all works out for you.

Ya...I don't know how I ever managed to survive in my field of expertise with only this "Journeyman" card in my wallet. Very Happy

Update...Total change of plans! Last week,I received a call from a previous employer here at home and they asked if I could start on the 23rd of May. Of coarse,I said YES!!! (2 years sittin on the bench on unenjoyment). I will be able to stay home now for the forseable future and will not be relocating to the Spokane area. I appreciate the welcome that I have received from RCVW members and look forward to having an opportunity of meeting some of you in the future. Thanks guys!

Glad things worked out for you. Maybe we'll run into you at one of the shows in WA. Yakima in September and Tri-Cities in October. Both shows are great fun, and there is usually a large contingent from this area that makes the trek.

Greetings update...

Well its been 2 years since I thought I was moving up there.
The job market has not improved here in Southern Oregon during this period and as a result, I have had to sell-off the fleet.
Fortunately, I have a job interview with an outfit in Spokane Valley on 6/20 and have decided to focus on Spokane again as im pretty much hired when i show up.
Although I no longer have my Singlecab and Oval, I still look forward to meeting-up in the future as a spectator of sorts, till I make my next acquisition of another acvw in the future.
South Hill looks like the geographical area I am interested in for starters.

See ya around folks!

Just finished my 1200+ mile round-trip for the job interview.
Looks like a July (ish) start date up there!

Got a chance to get familiar with some of the neighborhoods by driving around and was REALLY impressed with Manito/Cannon Hill...just beautiful!!!
