Is everyone sleeping in this dark and dismal morn here in MA? ~30 hours and counting until I pick up my 05 Cummins. "Monday, Monday.....so good to me!" Apologies to the Mamma's & Papa's, well the Mamma & Pappa that's left, for my poor singing voice.

I changed the oil in my 95 yesterday and I'll be pulling out the performance computer and putting back the stocker before I sell it outright today. A nice wash and wax and she'll be ready for the next lucky owner. It's a gasser, but still it couldn't have been more reliable in the 10 years I had it. Life is good. Have a great week, everyone!

Phew, crisis narrowly averted. Three inch gate valve blew the bonnet gasket out spraying hot water and steam everywhere. What to do what to do? I said "simply close the valve and stop the flow" and they looked at me like I had four heads. Guess what, they tried it and it worked. Duh.
I love my job.

I hate it when I'm right.
I've been in this work since 1973. I am far from knowing everything but a little common sense will go a long way.

'Morning everyone! I'm sitting in my new home in Jenison, Michigan. Took a day off to make it a three-day weekend. My son is visiting this week from Connecticut. I have to leave to go back up to Leelanau County where I'm living in our fiver until I finish the school year and driver education, which will be around July 15. I'm driving down every weekend so far, but with fuel being $2.29, I won't be able to keep up the every-weekend routine for much longer. I don't have much internet access while up north, so my time here is very limited and I'm having a few withdrawal symptoms.

I hope to be able to "talk" to you folks again soon.

Afternoon everybody ...

Sat in class all day today learning the basics of how to "sprechen sie Duetch" and to order food and beer . Still felt like a Monday.

We may have high fuel prices in the states but I sure would hate to be the guy driving the V-10 over here at around $6 a gallon !!

Time for some schnitzel and a beer.

1pm, and I'm barely waking up after consoling a dear friend who just came out of a bad relationship. Stayed up til 9am, decided to get an hour of shut-eye before I had to get some stuff done, which turned into 4, leaving my other friend stranded at work lunch-less.
