I was a Field service engineer for Amada America. I did CNC machine service from ATL to Compton To Seattle. Loved it, Did not love it when the Layoff notices came around. We went from 180 Engineers in the US to 80 in 1 year. Ouch, Talk about cutting the work Force. I was called by my old Boss but, I am a family guy now... Have to see my little ones grow. Unless they double my money, Which they won't.

Well been trying to do the gallery and it keeps locking up so I'll have to try later.

Only reason I still do this is we got no little ones at home and my wife goes with me sometimes.

My wife used to go with me when I went for more than a week. Like ATL for 2 or 3 weeks or even Yakima for a day or 2.

Yes I'm still ugly and dress funny to. I like to know who I'm talking to. How'd you like the truck conversion to a convertable?

And of course we're off to see the wizard AGAIN. Got to go watch them start a compressor down in Mississippi. Fly down Wednesday and back on Saturday. EASY MONEY. Especially the overtime for Saturday. Getting paid face time in the windshield is nice to.

Sun wasn't even down and we were hearing guns and fireworks here.

I also added some of my wind turbine pictures to my More Work Gallery.
