I've been away from TRS too long, started gettin the shakes at work today... at my new job!! That's right, I am no longer an archery tech at a hunting store. My education is finally starting to pay off, as last Monday I started as an Intern at the Saskatoon Plant for CNH (Case New Holland). And the best part... I literally doubled my wage 
. Im not too busy with any engineering work yet, still working on memorizing everything in the 800 page binder they dropped on my desk the first day, while slowly cracking away at a couple projects. More will come for sure, Im pretty excited.
I am also back on the relationship wagon (after a few month period of being a bachelor, following a breakup with the previous woman of 4 years). She's 6' and athletic (I am 6'3") and also a volleyball and basketball player like myself. We've been dating just over a month now
.
And finally, I have not forgotten about my truck. The last couple weeks she has gotten new ball joints, a cleaned and regreased front end, and 2" front lift to very nearly level it out. I like it a lot better, it was very raked before. Once I get a couple paychecks in I will be ordering all new shocks for it to match the lift. Im not worried about wrecking the stock ones in the meantime, cause they are all shot. The back two even holes in them....
On that note, in the lift process the lower shock mounting bolt on the front passenger side snapped off at the shoulder. There was enough of the stud sticking out for me to put the shock back on and strap it sideways to the radius arm, so it won't pop off if I need to drive it around the city. Anyone know where I can locate a replacement stud, or will I have to rig something up with the proper sized grade 8 bolt?

. As it is I feel like I am too young for the job I have now 
Only wish there was more red stuff in my area though to utilize this perk, with the nearest dealer half an hour away it is mostly green around here.
