    The only reason I want a DC is so we can drive to vernal comfortable. I’d leave the 02 there is it to hunt out of, she could the DC whenever.

    I could probably make more sense if I wasnt couple deep

    Xtra cabs got that airbag switch for a reason. And car seat anchors in the front passenger seat.

    I'm just waiting for when her reach is long enough to push the 4wd button while I'm on the freeway

    Ours did too, 2 weeks earlier than expected. They say the first is either on time or late so it caught us by surprise. We were watching Netflix at night like we always do and when my wife stood up to go to bed she was like, I either peed my pants or my water just broke lol.
    Hope you got that go bag ready, I assume it's a Milwaukee brand one.

    Good for you man! Make sure the rigs drain their air brake tanks.. some places have the operators do it, some places the mechanics. My main piece of advice is drain the damn air tanks. Second is to learn as much as you can

    He's that company's undercover boss. Done ever job they offer and now suddenly became one of the bus mechanics? I don't buy it...

    I got to drive the big ass 3 axle bus, it’s 54’ long haha. That was… interesting to say the least. I almost took the fence in the yard out. I’m not used to driving something with air brakes, and with a rear axle than turns too.

    I changed the rear kickout axle stabilizers today. We don’t have any in stock so I “borrowed” some from the parts bus. Arm was sore from hammering at the knuckle for so long. Was getting started on an air compressor but my shift ended, these have three tanks under the passenger area.

    Got to go parts shopping in the company truck today, lol. It’s a turd Gen!

    Negative. But I still work for the same company, I just transferred over to the engineering team. Came with a decent raise and the hours are better so why not.

    I’ve worked almost every position in the company. Sales agent, customer service, tour guide, hotel concierge, mechanic…

    I didn't even know they were a thing until Miguel one day sent me a video of his.

    Real eye opener

    They're amazing to see but also kind of terrifying tbh. We have one of Sofia's printed and hanging on a wall and I always tell her 'that's when you were a goblin'
