Hump day is here!! They got me going wide open this week. I am jumping back and forth between 4 vehicles. Hope to finish up the hood I am putting on a wheel loader this morning, fix the steering sensor on a motograder and then start reinstalling the rebuilt transmission into the dump truck.

Super long week with some overtime thrown in too. Chilled after work every night this week and didn't do anything extra. Mainly played with little man and we both had a good time.

My hands have hurt so bad the last few days. I almost dropped the coffee pot trying to get a cup of coffee this morning. I finished up the thumb install yesterday by lunch and then dressed out the rebuilt transmission and had it mounted to the engine before the end of the day. They have a pipeline build finishing up and the rental machines they used are coming to Austell, we are going to get super busy soon.

14 weeks till vacation and I can't wait, I am sure going to need the break.

Installing the transmission today, they want it back tomorrow.Might be a long day.
After about a month and 400 bucks worth of chemicals I finally go the pool water right in all the ranges. I was beginning to think the water tester I had was bad.
