Feb 23rd "Seriously!"

Man time flies. I have been doing so many cool things! I helped finished the first Kuhn tiller with the radiators to cool the oil. I have started working on the second one and might even get to lead the projects a bit more. I have helped other mechanics tear into things and have learned a ton. Im in the process of learning how to preload bearings. I have read up on the procedure now i just need to watch it be done and then help and get a feel for it. Im running forklifts unloading trucks, fixing flat tires on random guys coming in just to pick up a forklift. A cool projects i have been doing on the side is makeing the mounts for  the vice on the back of a van truck and most rercently making the same application for a hose press. Some small things i have been picking up on but dont think about very often are... learning how to crimp my own hose fittings with the hydraulic press. I also learned how to press on hose fittings for other applications such as low pressure oil.

    Learning all the right times to ask questions, who to ask what question, where things are for everyday use, all of these things im still picking up on. One really cool thing that i have experianced a bit is just the fact that guys will ask me to help them. Hopefully that means it will help them speed up whatever it is there doing and also when i am helping them they are very eager to teach me all the tricks. I really love all of it and im having the time of my life. So much fun that i forget im even in school and im supposed to post on my blog...

    Thats all the recent updates i can think of at work. But everything is going great and everyday i learn ten new things.
