What have I been doing lately instead of anything productive? (although there is new coolant in the Z and I have fuel hose on order, need to drop the pump and see if it runs, the brake adjuster came in for the Merc so it's back in the shop, I talked to a live person about Jez, work goes all right and my credit score is apparently up to 680, hence ( Read more... )

I've been out of touch. I freely admit this, via just about every medium. I'm trying to look at the pieces of my life and assemble them in a way I actually want and have evaluated, not something I just do because I always have just done it ( Read more... )

For the third time, greatly abbreviated further. (The mobile version on iOS is absolute ass ( Read more... )

Mobile test post. Think the client ate the real one.

It's been WAY too long since I've updated this (as tends to happen), but in my defense there has been a triple-pronged--at least--attack on my free time ( Read more... )

One more week of training in Alabama/Georgia with the 40-year guy and I'm out on my own insofar as support is a phone call away from any number of sources. I'm still treadmilling the paperwork but I think I have a handle on this. That's probably the biggest news. Finally doing the job all by my lonesome. I think I'll do fine ( Read more... )

Was going to be going home after that and working with the guy out of OK, but now that's turned into another month on the road in Alabama and surrounding states before getting back to Texas. Fwee...I won't pass up the chance for more training but it'd be nice to get back already ( Read more... )

Insert obligatory much lost time comment here. I'm finishing up training. What a roller-coaster ride. On the 4th I leave for Tennesee for a month, then down to working with our guy from Oklahoma for a month which will leave me based out of home. Jez is undergoing slow progress. Bug will have the timing work done early next month...full timing set, ( Read more... )

And here's your mid-holiday update. I am still alive and well. There is a Christmas present for me following me around--was going to be delivered at the end of the day in MI when I was leaving that morning, so I called ahead to get it held at the facility so we could stop by there on the way to the airport. It wasn't at the facility, so I had them ( Read more... )
