Overdue update
I know it's been a while since I last posted anything. I am still around, just very busy.
Work has been busy as we have just transitioned to mandatory electronic filing of documents for attorneys in civil lawsuits in our court. I am the primary clerk responsible for dealing with electronic filings and deal with all of the issues related to the electronic filing system. With few certain exceptions, attorneys are no longer permitted to file papers over the counter.
Another change is that passport applications are no longer accepted at our office. Effective last week, acceptance services were relocated to the Pima County Customer Service Center at 240 N. Stone Avenue. The Customer Service Center houses the Pima County Consolidated Justice Courts, Pima County Assessor's Office, Pima County Recorder's Office and Pima County Constable's Office. We staff the Passport Acceptance counter, but all phone inquiries are still handled at our office.
Work on Old Pueblo Transit Company bus No. 135 has continued and the repairs are now all complete. We spent several weekends replacing all of the wiring in the engine compartment and some of the wires running from the driver's cab. In the process of tracing the source of the failure of the right combination brake lamp/tail lamp, it was found that much of the original wiring was in poor condition as the cloth insulation was cracked or disintegrating in many places. All of the wiring was replaced with current SAE standard wiring and the wires placed inside cloth loom to provide additional protection from the heat generated by the gas engine. The bus has been run for several hours to test the repairs and they have held up. Driving the 135 is a blast-it gets attention wherever it goes. It also gives the driver a bit of a workout. While it does have an automatic transmission (GM Hydromatic), it doesn't have power steering.
