(((willy))) it'll get fixed one day
I never really thought about it much, it's just what the position is called, most times at a dealership it's "tech" while other places it's mechanic... but at the dealers you only get that job after completing 8 of ase's, a vehicle-specific training program & training under someone else... but it's all just symantics really, we used it to differentiate between the more & less specialized guys.
Amen brother! Can't wait for warm weather and spend time outside in the real world!
I'm binging on The Soprano's on Amazon Prime Video, screw you spectrum. [emoji14] Really loving Prime video, better then Netflix and the two day free shipping on stuff like that HDMI switcher, for me Prime is a bargain! Looking forward to checking out more of what's out there through streaming, I see there's a ton of stuff and some free. At least Mama's happy, she can do her thing with spectrum and I'll do mine. Everabuda hoopy
Lot of snow and blowing all day yesterday and into early hour. Mama was coming home from her trip around 12:30 AM so I watited until 6 PM last night to blow out the drive thinking that would get rid of enough so what came after would be passable when she drove in. I went out at midnight and walked the driveway, it had blown back in so I fired up the John Deere, flipped the lights on and cleaned out just enough to let her in and did it as quickly as I could. But it didn't take long and neighbors lights were coming on, I saw them peeking out the windows to see what the hell I was doing, even a passing Sheriff in one of the secret squirrel blacked out van's they have stopped just up the road to watch LoL. 
I was wondering, is he calling in to see if the village has a noise ordinance after dark? We don't.....

I offered my 2 girls (10 & 12) $1 for every 2 pieces of garbage they each picked up yesterday ... minus $1 for each item I found when they were done. Little did I know the older one would pick up butts in the neighbor's front yard. 40 items each later, and I found only 3 super tiny ones, they got $20 each. Raking (free) starts next week.
and because of that we got away with a lot of hell raising, shooting bottle rockets are each other across the shop, water balloon fights, just good old hell raising. Man I could tell you some stories. Anyways, three of us had stereos on our tool boxes, we always played the same rock station, when this song came on everyone would crank it up and we would all whistle and sing along, I'm sure they could hear us out on the sales floor, but we were never once told to knock it off.
Yeah I actually do like patience, even though I was more of a Metallica fan, actually I used to be in the sound/studio industry on my way to trying to find another career, & I have this one good buddy of many years, who was a roadie for that one tour, with guns&roses/metallica, where a bunch of riots got started & axl rose refused to come out a few times, was acting like a primadonna etc... he's always telling that story, he has this theory basically axl rose kind of lost a lot of respect with his fans for that one & handed over much if their fans to metallica which he says is what caused their downfall.kiba, Here's a shop story for ya, came to me little while ago while on my way home when this song came on the radio. When I worked in a Honda dealer in 89 (best days of my life as a mech) we had a great bunch of guys, most of us were in the same age bracket, we worked hard and played hard together, both on and off the job. Except for a couple we were all "A" "Techs"
HQ sound in this one, put in your ear buds and crank it up and sing along with me!
