Ducmonsta is moving to the PNW!

Friends,
I will be relocating my family and myself to Vancouver, WA (just north of Portland, OR). My wife is a lawyer for the USDA and is being relocated. My 4 year old son and soon to be 6 year old daughter and I will be joining her September of this year.

I have not determined what exactly I will be doing yet as this may be a great time for me to spend some quality time being a stay at home father. I have some opportunity to get into the RV world as a vendor. But I have not taken the job yet.

I hope to continue to be a representative of High Tech here on this forum. I actually hope to continue to be an employee. There is a possiblity that I will be creating a website for e-commerce for High Tech. I will also try and continue to be the representative for the T4ROTM prizes @TRDCal @gaterose .

I know there are some of you that are coming to have some fabrication and installation work done in the next couple of months @Okki @joneseyyy . Not to worry, I will still oversee these projects. And in the future, I still hope to be able to communicate with the guys at High Tech for any members that are looking to have work done. You just won't get to see my ugly mug when you come in. The two technicians that mainly work on the T4R community's trucks will still be there. We are and will remain good friends. So I expect to have continuous contact with them even if we are on different coasts.

So, if some of you had seen the thread I had started in the General section about a friend moving to the PNW and was looking for a place to go....that was me. I'm still up for suggestions for local shops in the Portland area to bring my expertise and passion to. *ahem* @helocat @lt

It's obvious at this point, I will not have the pleasure of coming to the Antman camp II in Oct. @Antman @phillyd2 @Kraeken @4ShoreRunner @jangoforhire @limamike @joneseyyy @Qjake @Jesse1983 @Titanpat57 @zamboni @SVBIED Sorry to miss this years festivities. It was a blast meeting you guys in person.

Congratulations! (I assume?) I'd love to be moving out that way right now but alas I have to wait until I'm a full grown up.

If you can't keep up the T4RotM donations I completely understand, but we still greatly appreciate your support in the past! Maybe you can keep the other vendors donating

Good luck with the move! Hope everything makes it, I remember seeing something about Richard Pryor having some problems with a cross country move like that.

Damn Bobby!

It just isn't going to be the same without you there!

I really enjoyed the times I've spent with you at the shop, The Cove, and Sandy Point. You are truly a standup guy, and very generous to boot. Not many in this world like you, my friend!

I'm sure you will do well wherever you go. Best of luck!

Funny you say that! Flagstaff was one of the locations. Asheville, NC and SLC, UT. Maybe during the next move.

You were chosen for a great area to live in. (I don't know how else to say that) Surrounded by National forests and parks, plenty of camping and now, you are on the correct side of the country!

I do have some contacts to pass on to you...best of luck out there, and I'm sure we'll talk!!

You're moving to one of the nicest areas in North America! You're going to have a great time! The East Coast is too small for you.

Make sure climb Mt St Helens & Mt Rainier, take up sea kayaking, and think about Sasquatch hunting...

It was a pleasure meeting you and doing business with you, hopefully we'll see you in July!

Yeah, we really liked Colorado when we lived there. We enjoyed the entire 101/1 (PCH) when we did our xcountry trip for 8 weeks. Looking forward to more/new adventures. And I'll get to meet some new t4r friends!

Well Dang Bobby... glad I'm able to be one of your last jobs while still on this side of the fence. I think it's great for kids to live in different countries/places and get that cultural experience. It also means you'll have friends all over the place which makes for great places to crash when you're travelling around.

I've lived in 3 countries and traveled to countless others; Some of the best memories of my life so far.

That said, enjoy the adventure and don't hesitate to give me a shout if you're ever in the Mid West.

Too bad. I bet you would have loved Flagstaff. I dig the PNW as well, so I guess I can be happy for you!

Welcome to the PNW when you get here later in the year.
I always wanted to make one of those meet ups in NOVA when I was living in Norfolk. So maybe I will get a chance for you to work on the ride out here and have beer with you.
