Foo - I am moving to washington state

I am moving to Washington state next week. I have a job and I got insurance.
I am going back to being a life guard and an instructor.

the bad part is, I have to leave my bikes for now.

not even 1?

not even 1. it cost more than my plane ticket to fly out with a bike.

thinking I might take groupset with me. and buy a frame next month.

congrats on the job, for one.
for two, don't sweat the small stuff. it will all work out in the end.
besides, its going to be cold there compared to where you're at, and until you HTFU you might not want to ride anyway ;)

you should just dump all clothing out from your luggage and stuff the bike in it instead. :innocent:

Or you could pack all your stuff in panniers and ride out there. Can you imagine how cool that would be?

Congratulations! If I lived there I'd probably have a frame you could have.

Heh, seems like a decent idea.

How about buying something used and just selling it when you get your other bikes?

what I would suggest as well....just something decent for $100-200 to keep you going ...could always flip it later.

What part of WA?

They'll let you be a lifeguard even with all the seizure stuff???

That's a full time job? And actually pays well?

Where in Washington? There's a bunch of us scattered all up and down the Sound.

Seattle. kitsap area.

and i will be life guarding for a school and coaching. so yeah it is a full time job.
seems like everytime I do I manage to find a job doing it in the winter.

and I will be trying a neurologist part of the reasons I am taking it, is because it has insurance

Kitsap<>Seattle (note ferry routes: http://visitkitsap.com/ )but it will be nice. Good luck!

Cool....we're gonna be semi-neighbors now. Awesome!!

We got to get a meet up C0urt!!

Maybe its time for a Seattle area meetup when c0urt gets here. CliftonGK1, Mill Creek, HardyWeinberg, SteveSurf (if he ever makes it back for a business trip), keithm0 and probably half a dozen others I'm forgetting.

What size bike do you ride c0urt? Maybe you could borrow my old "comfort" bike (Trek Navigator) for a while until you can get your own bikes up.

you should just dump all clothing out from your luggage and stuff the bike in it instead. :innocent:

No kidding. How much clothes does a lifeguard and swim instructor need? Just swim trunks right? :roflmao2::lol:

Can you ship your bikes via UPS or something?

Congrats on the job!!

You'll be going nuts with your photography again too, c0urt! This is some of the most photogenic landscape anywhere!

You forgot me :cry: ...stringbreaker, kpug, poppaddio, BengeBoy, and probably another 20 or so who I've forgotten (but I am older than you are, so I can get away with it).

Yeah, a meetup would be great!

OR...he could wear all of his clothes.

I did qualify I was forgetting some. I don't even know any of the ones you mentioned.

the possibilities are endless!

Sounds like you need yourself a folding bike, c0urt. ;)

Congratulations on the job and the insurance. Hopefully the new neurologist can give you something more than a shrug.

Congrats Court. Happy for you. Godspeed in your travels and best of luck at the new job and with the neurologist. Praying you find health and happiness in your new home.

hope everything goes well

so the last time me and this friend got a place together and a job together, we both ended up in the hospital for a month, and he ened up with pstd because of it.

and the last time there was a road trip with both of us, there were cops.

Congrats!

ok, my roommate is not going to be able to pick up from the airport on next tuesday.

can I have a ride from some one?

What time are you coming in c0urt? And where exactly are you heading?

I may be able to if its late enough to be post-work hours and are going somewhere easy to find (I still don't know area too well).

nah, it is like 11:am

and i am headed to kitsap

Sorry man. I'd love to help out, but I don't think I can pull that off. Not only is it too early, but I've never been over to Kitsap; I'd probably get us both lost.

Maybe somebody from the new job would be nice enough to pick you up. Otherwise, your cheapest bet is probably the airport shuttle.

is Washington State a bike-free state? I mean there are lots of bikes there where you can buy :D

AHEM, cohophysh:notamused::notamused::notamused:

Take the train. Big bike boxes provided for cheap. Two bikes=40 bucks I think total. You can also bring four more boxes plus two carryons for not much!

The train doesn't go to Kitsap County...

East Hill

take a cab from sea tac to the ferry terminal, take Bremerton ferry across Puget Sound, take cab from bremerton ferry terminal to destination!

You mean, "Midnight train to Suquamish" is just a made-up song? Damn. Another balloon popped. Or pipped.

it is a 3 day train rain.

I though about it

Actually, I did not forget you. You just have a weird enough username I couldn't think of how to spell it when I was typing that.

Actually, a very special train does to go Kitsap County. Or at least it used to. It was called the 'white train' and was used to carry Trident missile nuclear warheads from Amarillo Texas to the sub base at Bangor. It was last used in 1985. The Navy now uses trucks to transport the warheads instead.

Every now and again, being a native of the Seattle area is useful for dredging up these old facts.

I worked with Trident Missiles for a brief time.

No worries!:D

LOL.....did they try contacting him to verify?

I never realized before that "John Hancock" sounds like a porn star name.

c0urt, are you moving here empty? My g/f and I consolidated our kitchen and dinnerware and such and could probably give you a decent amount of plates, glasses, storage containers and various kitchen stuff if you need it.
