Spq13 Austin

This was a very productive week. When I was home after school I did troubleshooting on my boat lights and truck. We did a lot of troubleshooting to practice for our test. I learned quite a bit from fuse layout to diagnosing a simple solution that right in your face haha. We did air brake assembly with jesse and hr had me show people how to take off brakes and shiwed brittany how to do a hub seal and tomorrow how to do bearings and race removal or tell her how. Got to teach my classmates ways to put springs for brakes on easier by prying down with the vise grip. When doing my test i learned I need to relax and not have my mind go blank, that would be nice. I need to do some research with the fluke and get one too!

Spq13 Austin

This past week we it was a learning week for sure. It was nice to learn on how to do proper testing on starters, batterys, altinators and charging systems from cars to semi's. I learned about what the point of having two batterys in a truck is for and what purpose it serves, there hasnt been a lot of time to do testing since i don't have a multi meter. This week I applied at a few places for interning and did that pre test that got put out. We also found the route for the peter and international. This weekend i helped my neighbors do seals, bearings, races and brakes.

This week and weekend i worked on running wires for my led light rings, led strip, train horn, compressor and put a lot of hours in. It was fun and learned alot and when doing everything i did i always remebered what my dad told me "power in, power out". With all the times watching him through my life I learned alot from what size fuses and wire size. This week i learned the concept of a load and crimping grounds and loads to work in one.
