Anyone else in Kalispell, MT?

[Grumpy Grizzly]

Hey all. I needed a good place to ask questions when the Haynes manual doesn't help and the internet gives me a smile and pile of poop after hours of searching.

We had a member from Eastern MT. not sure where though. Haven't seen @MrMarty51 post in a long time but he was having a lot of health issues.

Thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. No one here could be asking about Kalispell...
I work in Kalispell and live up towards Whitefish. I've owned quite a few different squares over the last 24 years so I know a bit about them.
Welcome to the forum!

I live on West Reserve Dr and I'm medically retired from the Army and getting ready to do the Firearms Tech at FVCC. Ive been to your shop when I was in my lathe class. pretty nice place. too bad you guys are doing the same thing over and over with those processor manufacturing boxes. What do you do at Applied?

a bit more that you folks may be interested in but meh I'm proud of my Beast. Don't really know why but I love it. lol

I love the fact that all the seats are in great shape (almost showroom) 'ish save for I need to replace the seat padding on the drivers side. No tears or (gasp) cigarette holes anywhere.

Got this thing with a bit of cancer on the rockers and back fenders, but with an unmolested GM Goodwrench 350 that runs like its new for only 1000 bucks. The guy I bought it from didn't know what he had.

I'm an electronic technician and have spent most of my time there in final test working on the equipment before it ships out. To keep things different from time to time I do travel with customer service to do the installs. Been quite a few places in the US along with trips to Germany, Austria, Philippines, and China. And also the place has went thru at least 9 different generations of semiconductor equipment. The latest generation just came out a few months ago.

Nice Suburban you got there!
