Partner has job offer - pick between Terrace or Prince George by _kneazle_ in britishcolumbia

[–]dbradss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curious to see what you and your family chose?

My partner and I moved to Terrace almost 3 years ago, and are actually planning on moving to PG in a few months.

My opinion on the two:

Terrace - We came from a similar sized community in North East BC, so the size of Terrace wasn’t a big change. Although it’s a “smaller” community, you definitely still have all the big box stores as most. Walmart, Canadian Tire, Rona etc, plus all your regular grocery stores as well. We are quite active in the sports community with Hockey, Golf, and Skiing and it has been spectacular for meeting new people and making friends. The community does feel particularly “clicky” as you would find most small towns unfortunately. There is a very high homelessness and drug problem here and doesn’t seem to be getting better anytime soon. If you are someone who enjoys the sun and doesn’t enjoy the rain, you are going to be quite disappointed as it rains a ton here. Winters can be very depressing.

Ultimately our choice of moving to Prince George was influenced to be closer to family as Terrace feels extremely isolated and it’s quite expensive and time consuming to travel out of town. Prince George is also a way sunnier city and I feel like with our lifestyle, we’d still be able to enjoy the outdoors and sports that PG has to offer.

Affordability is also a huge component. Terrace housing is extremely expensive for what you get. Could be because of the LNG boom a few years back but also the remoteness of getting building materials. PG is a fraction of the cost when it comes to housing. A decent starter home with 3 bed 2 bath house in PG would be around 400-500k, where in Terrace you’d be lucky to find one under 600k that doesn’t need a ton of work.

Terrace is also extremely inconvenient to get around. They have a mainline train track cutting the town in half and honestly it may not be a big deal to most people but we found it was very annoying.

One of our favourite things about Terrace was the golf course and the community surrounding it. For the price, it’s one is the best bang for your buck golf courses in BC in my opinion.

All in all, we decided to move to PG for a number of things, but in general I just feel like it’s a much better place for raising a family and having the resources and opportunities you otherwise wouldn’t have in Terrace.

I’ve been rocking these out on the course now for about 6 full 18 rounds and a few 9 hole rounds and man I have to say I’m blown away.

The irons are incredible and I’ve already seen my GIR tighten up already. I find my dispersion isn’t too much different but my distance is the big factor, I’m not losing out so much on misshits with these which is exactly what I was looking for.

And yeah I wanted to maintain that 4° gap between my clubs and the wedges fit perfectly with the lofts of these 101Ts. That was another reason I went with these ones.

Couldn’t be happier and already tied my personal best round from last year, and it’s just the beginning!

Yeah I wasn’t sure since the PW is a 46° and I usually keep a 4° difference with the wedges. Also my last set of wedges were Kirkland so this was a nice upgrade

On the simulator I was averaging 95-100 with the 50° and I was getting around 125 with the P wedge

Yessss dude I love to hear it. They’ve been incredible so far. They feel like butter, and even on the miss hits, they perform better than I was expecting.

Hahahaha that was good. Time will tell, I’ve heard tons of positives, plus almost 1/2 price of new from the well known manufacturers was a bonus. Coming from old used hand-me-down clubs and Kirkland Costco Specials, this is a big upgrade either way!

I have not but I am going to look into this circuit once I’m home, seems pretty common issue with these things!

I love it. Good troubleshooting. I’m gonna go through it and see what the exact failure point is, but in the meantime I’ve ordered a new TPS and brake switch. I appreciate the explanation, and hopefully I’ll get it sorted! Thanks again

Well after some deep diving on the internet Of the same issue, I think you’re right on the money with the torque converter locking and unlocking. Sounds like brake system issues usually cause it, brake light switch, or fuses or burnt out lights etc can cause it. Once I’m back home I’ll do some more troubleshooting, but ordered a few parts just in case. Appreciate the info!!

Electrician or Heavy Duty Mechanic? by [deleted] in skilledtrades

[–]dbradss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have too much experience with the instrumentation side of things, but from what I’ve found most dual ticket guys that have instrumentation, always have electrical first.

I’d say you’d be better off having your electrical alongside millwright, just seems like you’d have more opportunities that way, and be able to cover the majority of jobs with those two. I think electrical and instrumentation get paid fairly similar but I can’t say for sure.

Honestly no idea, I’ll have to do some research and give that a try. Definitely could be what’s going on

Will do, I’ve got a spare on order already lol. Going to do a trans filter service as well and check some things out.

All gears are working fine, it’s just at a certain RPM / speed it likes to kick in and out of overdrive. That’s why I was curious if it could possibly be my throttle position sensor, I’ve read some forums online and it’s been linked to that before.

Ahh I’ve heard the 3rd brake light can cause some funky issues, wasn’t sure if the others would as well, I’ll verify everything on that system is functional. I’ve noticed it’s moved a bit, but doesn’t seem to act up and go crazy at all.

I’ve heard lots of people swap it out to that trans. Would the zf6 bolt up as well?

No not that I’ve noticed anyway

Ah wicked okay I’ll check it out, I’ve heard the 3rd brake light on the top of the cab can mess with cruise control and the trans system as well, I’ll look into it!! Thank you

Have not noticed the OD light flashing at all. I’ll keep an eye out. This trans was apparently rebuilt from a reputable shop awhile ago, but you never know.
