You are starting an exciting career with New England’s largest regulated utility." I start with CL&P as a lineman intern/apprentice june 23rd
Congratulations Miles! Maybe now you'll be able to afford to keep that truck of yours on the road!

Good morning all.

They are saying that it is going to rain this afternoon.
Tom put your Prius out on the front lawn, the rain may help it grow.

Miles, now that you have a good paying job does this mean more parts for the truck or even a new one?

I don't believe money was ever part of the problem of keeping my truck on the road. And i still have my man card...

And neither John, lol. I have to go back to school for 2 years so my truck will be just getting oil/fuel filter changes and thats probably it. Once the internship program is over and i start full time there may be some upgrades

Nah, you definitely demonstrated the ability to throw money at it. You definitely have more disposable income than I do. My family spends all of mine.

Good evening Connecticut!

Spent the afternoon disassembling my wife's van to replace the power door cable. Got the cable installed and working, but I broke some plastic clips in the process. Total cost after I buy the clips will be around $35, and the dealer would have charged nearly $600.
