This past week we have been doing boards. Learned that it can be more than one problem. That one problem could be the same as another. Wednesday I think it was, I helped Travis move the engines and differential and I made a bracket for the Detroit engine and did some welding and fabrication.

This week we did boards and our tests on the computer. Did all the boards besides the ones that were missing. Been working still and getting some hours in on electrical at work too. I did my resistors for my headlights but no luck, also got my chip for my truck and doing some dumping and tuning to my truck.

This week was somewhat slow and not much wrenching this week. Just been doing upkeep on the trucks and polishing our fancy truck. Learned the wiring diagram for controls on the mixer drum. It was easier since I have experience but wasn't allowed to color it haha. Got to see you Friday and still haven't got comments on any blogs.

This past week I got to take the entire transmission out by myself and it was a learning step but I got it done. Learned what need to come off and disconnected and prepared. Been doing lots of wiring and misc. stuff. I'm ready to get back to school and learn some more. Still no word from you.

This past week we did a lot. I worked on a drop trailer that the U bolts came loose and the axle was turning. If you look the axle is turned about 30° and from this the truck was very tippy and wore the tread down a lot. Also did leaf springs and the hangers. We are currently replacing a drum and getting the new one Wednesday. Haven't heard from you in a while and was wondering what is going on.

Just saw that last week's blog didn't publish. Is there something I can do? This past week worked on brakes, alternator, head gaskets, drums, welded out races, bearings, used a bearing puller, and a bunch more! Learning lots and can't wait to keep working! Learned how to replace O-rings in a valve and different techniques on a bunch if things.

This past week we buttoned up the transmission on the dump truck. Did a lot of wiring and hydraulic hose making. Have been changing tires and rims a lot and also doing some troubleshooting on noise in the truck. They thought the turbo was going out but after taking the truck for a drive I rigged up up a fin on the windshield and it was a flap of trim that was whistling on and off. Adjusted all the trucks brakes and clutches.
Hours: 179 1/2
