There is definitely a need for both kinds! We have techs that are better at controls and then guys like me that are better at greasy mechanic work. I used to think I could do it all, but I've learned to respect my limits!
same deal
.....last wraps of wire and tape were mostly for moral lolsI get it, sometimes they just won't give you the parts though, not like you are going to fun to NAPA and pick up a paper machine steam head (I honestly don't have a clue where you source parts for some of this stuff )I don't play that game.
When I'm fixing something, it's getting done to the best of my abilities, and improved over original when possible. Every single time. I don't give a fuck what's going on. I either fix it properly, or cobble it together until it can be fixed properly at the next opportunity----and I follow up on it.
I'm easily the slowest guy at work, yet I've moved up through the years.
Electricians are like wheel barrows.
Hard to push and easy to upset.

I'm planning on jb welding a washer or something to mine.This is much better than spending 4 bucks to fix the key fob
I'm sorry you had to be subjected to that torture.
You didn't ask me but we don't do any engine work on site outside of fuel and air systems.
It's the perks!Sombody is spoiled!
Orifice got left out, so no differential pressure of consequence and no cooling form the AC?I had a epic fuck up tonight around 7.30 after replacing an entire AC system from compressor failure.
See if you can guess the problem...
I’d bet the real math is about 10-20 OT hours needed to cover this shitty employee not 40. We had a saying at the factory when they would FINALLY can a shitty employee like described: addition by subtraction. There were some departments that OT went DOWN in when you’d rid yourself of the fuck-ups.
Nailed it.
Just get it patched up temporarily, temporarily means until the next time that it breaks
I remodeled an auto repair front office for a friend. Built the desks and work areas using typical MDF and laminate. Almost done and he wants a printer holder built and screwed to the side of the partition at the end of his work area. I get it cut out, screwed and glued together and he wants it NOW, raw MDF and all telling me that it is temporary and they will replace it later. I resisted, he insisted. Fine, but I wrote that temporary is permanent on the inside with a Sharpie.
The cooler bypass line is still capped and plugged so when the temps get up and the bypass opens boom the filter leaves the chat.
At work we call it 'temporary forever'.My Dad always told me there is nothing more permanent than a temporary fix.
(My family on both sides farmed)
Good on ya man. Did you do your due diligence and ask him if he’s learning to land the plane too?I'm really enjoying this because I never really get to share all the fuck ups I see...
The shop did a transmission in a 140M motor grader for a large contractor. It gets out to the job site (DFW airport) and blows the filter housing off of it for the return filter. Breaks the threaded portion of base off and it's stuck in the housing.
The contractors mechanic replaces the housing and puts it back to work. Meanwhile it is working on the active runway and crossing active runway several times per day as it comes on and off the job for shutdowns.
It blows it again and luckily it was on the dirt no harm no foul.
So they call and say this thing is blowing filters off ya'll fucked it up. I hot foot it over there, get the full escort treatment out to the runway and get started. Its kind of confusing what is going on because we put a gauge on it and the pressure in the housing is not high, only 225 or so.
I shut it down before me munch another housing (the last one in the state) and say lets look at some lines.
The first door I open there it is
If this would have happened when they were shuttling on/off the runway I can not imagine the shit storm that would have rained down on my boss.
So after fixing that and getting escorted back out, the runway cleaned up etc. I am heading home and as I top this hill there is car in the right lane with it's flashers on, its sort of dangerous spot and its cold so I pull up to try and help.
It's a student pilot from Singapore named Ri trying to change the tire, he was not doing a very good job so I showed it him the ins/outs and we got it swapped out and on his way.
I know cool story brah
Based on his skills to A: Drive the car to avoid the curb and B: use the tools, instructions etc. to change the tire he is most definitely on a one way trip.Good on ya man. Did you do your due diligence and ask him if he’s learning to land the plane too?
The automation flies the planes now. So as long as he's good at pushing buttons he will quite possibly be an excellent pilot. At least until the automation fails.Based on his skills to A: Drive the car to avoid the curb and B: use the tools, instructions etc. to change the tire he is most definitely on a one way trip.
But he was really nice and appreciative
Yup we have departments that have guys doing 8 hrs of work in 12 hrs, so they can get the OT, and other ones where a guy does 12hrs of work in 8 and gets shit for not working OT. Blinders- And I am the asshole for pointing/ calling it out. People make a job out of making themselves look busy, instead of just doing the job and moving on. It drives me crazy. We call it stepping over dollars to pick up pennies.
