As a few of you may have noticed, I havent been around much lately. I've been lurking but not posting much. I've finally gotten my life back in order and got a few of my priorites refocused. I was working waaaay to many hours and was about to put myself in an early grave (working 75+ hrs a week for the past 5 years). So I got a new job, that pays enough so that i only have to work 1 job, and i no longer am living paycheck to paycheck. I just started this week as a diesel/hydraulic tech at a local steel mill called Crucible Specialty Steel ( linkey here). It is a union job, pays well, outstanding benefits package, 401k, pension etc. I am so happy there. I havent been this excited about a job ever. I actually enjoy going to work. Right now i'm workin the 7am-3pm shift, once my probationary period is up (90 days) i am probably be going to get moved to afternoons (3pm-11pm). But there is also a shift differential so i dont mind. Anywho, that's really all. Between that and workin on the car, i've been keepin pretty busy.

awsome. in vo-tech, last class we started ripping apart a diesel engine. he said it weigh's anywhere from 1600-1900lbs. and thats JUST the engine, no trans, radiatort ect. it was funny, he gace us NO intructions or anything. we had to take a safety test. i thought we'd be in the book for weeks learning how to take it apart. but no, he said its pretty much self-explanitory. i love school, and im passing everything with like 80% and better.umm hm what else...me and suzi are still together. i think thats about it. that kinda catches ya up. better be on AIM soon. good luck.1998 bright red camaro ,M5 ,Y87 ,stock<br /><br />Originally posted by Rune:<br />If it smells like a turd and looks like a turd, chances are its probably not a candy bar.Comment
