For those of you curious about the off brand vehicles being advertised inside FTE, the word is that the Advertising Agency posts random 'relevant' ads in the forum, so trucks of all brands are relevant to a truck forum.

I suppose the Advertising Agency knows a few in FTE own a combination of brands besides Ford.

Congrats on a fine job.

Yes, I notice things , when I was at Millstone Jim Short said I alone justified two mechanics

During the regulatory shutdown I was on staff already and I was recalled by my ol' Ops Dept Manager Barry Pinkowitz iirc on a collateral assignment to walk down the the various areas of Unit 3, Jim Harris said I kept his tracking group busy

You will be happy to know Jim Short has moved on but still comes back for outages. Pinkowitz is still there running outages and I believe he is a SRO. Jim Harris I don't know.

I'm going to bed, up at 4 am for dayshift work.
