sneaking out from behind rail
by on 02/09/12 05:01 AM
Slowly, around the rail it comes. Too heavy to push, it's a rigging show all the way. 1760 pounds!

Hah hah! I just bought a 2" wrench today! And some more hoists and rigging.
I studied electronics in the Marine Corps, to work on avionics, on F4 jets. We troubleshot down to the component level. Then I was a civilian electronics technician, took some more college classes in electronics. I design circuits, build electronic devices for various purposes. I'm telling you all this to let you know that I don't do heavy repair just because I "can't use a meter"! It's all part of being self-employed, par for the course, comes with the territory. One day I'm using the oxy-acetylene torch, next I'm troubleshooting with my oscilloscope.
I like heavy repair! It's stimulating, rewarding. Being my own boss, I set my own pace, so that helps make it fun, but I still have timeframes to deal with. I also like construction and mod. I like ALMOST everything in this trade. I don't think of myself as as this specialty, or that specialty, I just think of myself as an elevator man.
