Welcome!

 

Welcome!

 

There's not a better way to say hello like getting kick in the nuts.

 

Yours and mine both buddy. Mine is white with a shade of Pennsylvania salt, mostly salt A little bit cold to be dropping the spare tire to clean up under there, but its gotta be done.

First week of second shift done and I can say it went better than expected. Seems to be more of a unity among the guys (and girls). There was an "oh shit, did I screw up?" moment, but after some swap-tronics I was indeed correct. That was an "intense" 1.75hr long balls deep moment in a master control panel, but I got it. Not bad for a mid level tech. Boss was impressed I didn't give up and kept at it. Was interesting as the lead/highest tech didn't question me at all on what I thought was wrong, normally he will with the other guys. Maybe I'm a little bit persistent... However 90% of failures are common ones I can skip A,B,C,D,E and go strait to C.

Hope all you stockers are having a good weekend!

 

I know right.

 

No substitute for experience

 

Could be worse. Lorena Bobbitt chopping.

 

No doubt. The lead tech is an excellent technician no question, but has to pull out the prints and go step by step. Typically I'll be like "hey, I've seen this before" reset something and there it goes. He'll go "what did you do!?" I'm not the brightest one, but I like to pay attention to common stuff. It's not the space shuttle, it's a conveyor.

 

Understand something.
Everyone has their own plan of attack.
I do certain things like I have for 46 years.
It’s how I do it.
Same with him and you.
Doesn’t make his system better or worse.
Doesn’t make your system worse or better.
I watch how the young punks work.
I take notes.
98% of the time it’s stupid.
It’s that other 2% that requires filing away.
He’s asking,
Filing away.
It’s what we do. Lol

 

I agree! It's also what makes us a good team, everybody has their own ways of doing things or experience levels. I've learned a lot by standing back and watching honestly. Next time it happens I'm right in there...

Is it against the rules to mod your key? Does that disqualify me from being "stock"?
Found this spare key in one of the bed cubbies. I think you see where my thought process is going right here...

 

The Elder Committee will have to convene on this matter at our secret headquarters located in an undisclosed tropical location.

Prep the Jet!

 

BTW...we use a 100% stock Bombardier Learjet 75 Liberty.
