Work thread

I just found this thread and made it through most of it. I have nothing near as cool as you guys, I am a desk jockey and I hate it. But the pay is (JUST) good enough to allow my wife to stay home and raise our three little girls.

I am a PM for a company that builds specialized machining and automation equipment. CAT is my main customer, a lot of work in their medium and large engine plants.

 

There is no better child care provider than MOM

 

Driver called and said he blew an air line. Never mentioned almost being on its side.

 

They never like to give up the good info!

 

No doubt! In all honesty it wasn't the drivers fault. He backed in where he was told and in bottomed out on the right side.

 

Well finally drove the wrecked truck today. It's been awhile. Can't really tell, lots of parts been replaced. Still have some gremlins to work out.

 

Now that I'm done with the other truck I can start piecing this one back together. Power steering pump on the chevy, and rreplacing the air horn valve on the pete.

 

Got it tore most of the way down. Was told this morning parts are 7 weeks out.

 

You’re gonna be looking at that thing for a while!

 

Yep taking up space

 

That's the kinda thing that don't make me miss being a mechanic one bit!!

 

Lol

 

Can't say it's not a bad idea. Lol

 

Post up your tool boxes if you have some. Doesn't matter how big or small, cheap or expensive. I would have never bought this Snap On epic but had a coworker moving across country and got a deal on it. When I out grew iy it I just made me a cabinet.

 

That’s gonna be spensive!

 

Hard to like that. What motor?

 

Cummins ISX 14.9L

 

Here is my harbor freight box.

the snap on guy told me I’d never loose money with one of their boxes. You can always trade it for what you paid. “Will you buy it back for what I payed when I’m done?” He laughed. So did I.

 

Nothing wrong with that.

Ll that's pretty much ruint
