Been thinking of getting a 3d printer, but it's the lack of time stopping me. Neat stuff Andrew.

You get your truck fixed yet Rich?

Not yet, waiting to hear what they find on the ECM it is in Texas right now on a bench. Hope to know early next week. Whether it is that or the only wire harness left for the engine.

There was an opportunity to change positions with another company, had a very nice opportunity after a couple years. Talked to my bosses about what was presented to me and they had many conversations and I am staying but will be taking a new role at the same shop

Good luck Mike. Sunny and 50's here this morning. This is the best time of year in MI weather-wise.

Definitely getting nice here. Getting close to sit in the woods time. Seeing deer everyday on my trail camera.

Going to be weird not camping this weekend. Hopefully I can get the big truck back up and running this weekend, been too long chasing this miss.
