plugging along, still trying to figure out that pos 6.0, might not be so bad if I didn't hate them so much! seems like I on;y get the ones no one else can figure out so i end up with hours of troubleshooting that I don't make any money on.

95 bucks an hour (No Exceptions)
105 bucks an hour (if you watch)
125 bucks an hour (if you help)

last week I went and helped a guy get one bolt out of his transmission $100.00. I had quoted him $900.00 parts and labor to do the job, he decided to do it himself. he is on his third week and is hoping to get it done in 2 or 3 more weeks.
p.s. it is a beemer, the last clutch job was $2800.00 on it ( the bolt I took out had never been out since the factory put it in) the thing never got a new clutch!

Good morning,

Talked the boss into giving me the next couple of days off. That's nice.

The grand daughters are staying with us for a few days. That's nice.

Going to take a little hike with them today if it's not to windy. Great to photograph all of the plants in bloom. That's nice.

Taking the Grand daughters back to Mama on Friday. That's great!!!
