    There are 4 important things needed in this business to be successful.
    1.A good business partner.
    2.A solid truck.
    3.A good wrench
    4.A good wrench
    Dave appears to have a good system in place and his meticulous attention to detail on these emmision trucks is something to learn from. From the outside looking in it appears to be a great scenario for learning the business properly.
    Pro tip: If the wrench drinks whiskey buy him a case of his favorite for Christmas. He is worth more than his weight in gold.

    I don't think he drinks. Maybe a beer here or there. He's a pretty straight arrow.

    The guys at Laser Alignment-Doubtful as well.

    It's 55 degrees warmer here than where I was most of the day.

    It snowed, really snowed, from SLC all the way to Beaver.

    It's not even Halloween.

    Casper looks like I haven't washed him since I've owned him.

    30 minute brakes are the most useless waste of time

    It should quit snowing Denver sunrise tomorrow (Wed)

    However the winter system forces it's way north and eastward. We are in the classic rain shield expected below the snow in Arkansas which is absolutely normal winter situation for us.

    Phoenix is looking good.

    Oh Lord, the mountains shall melt and the storms will pass in time, and the children will lift thine eyes to the light of day to understand what the schools have to teach them in their worldly corrupted ways...

    Salad bar update-

    Broccoli is fresh and plentiful.
    Mushrooms are from last month.
    No cucumbers or carrots.

    There is watermelon.
