And your driving a Truck ?

 

Sittin at the 49ers trk stp in Sacramento Ca, things are still very slow on the west coast, run for a day or two and then sit for a day or two....

 

i dont mind sitting if the weather stays like this. although money is good, i suppose. i didnt do a thing today, but thats because i was in the shop.

 

And your driving a Truck?

Yep, Burned out on all fronts, Like being in a new field where I can use my knowledge, I will be back in there soon. I sold my business in '05 and am awaiting the proceeds to mature so I can retire and spend time with my family, I am currently living off the proceeds from the initial business earnings.

 

Thanks HWP I rather fly hme but the expense doesn't amount to the need. Thanks.

 

i just had to do a super lame street back in LA. still not the worst i have done, i got a couple guys to spot me and i got it in one shot so i didnt hold up traffic too much, but ####! not fun at all. but weather is awesome and 2700 miles of solid driving ahead is awesome.

 

Yeah, I was gonna say.... How does a valve "get below" a cylinder, except for exactly what you said? Not to mention, to get back above the other pistons after the fact is a pretty tall order, unless chunks of it got back into the intake or exhaust manifold and traveled to another cyl. I think there are a couple of unschooled mechanics there.

Either way, TD, not your problem other than losing pay sitting.

 

In TD's defense, there aren't a lot of high-paying jobs for Associate Degree holders, at least in Corporate he77. Even Bachelors Degree holders like myself find it hard to find something off the road.

Beyond that, don't knock driving a truck. I have met MANY MANY degree holders, LAWYERS (yeah, I said lawyers), several MBA's, and a lot of former execs like myself behind the wheel of a truck. Nothing at all wrong with it. Sitting in an office is not all it's cracked up to be.

 

we do get $50 a day!!!!!!!!
