Congrats Roger.

Sad thing is, it lowers my faith in the certification of counterpersons, as that test was way too simple. The diesel engines and auto trans tests were more challenging. Passed those too, straight out of tech school, but never got the work experience to back them up (work that can be verified by employment)

Never got the diesel tech, but did have all 8 auto tech for the master tech certification.

Took all 8 at one time while still in school

It was one of those things, get the piece of paper that says I know something... Really wasn't worried about it, but work paid for it, so why not?

Wicked cold windy one today... Not nearly as bad as had been predicted, but I'm ok with that. Had one of the local guys kind of tease me about how much snow fence I put up, but looking down the lane, looks like I don't have to clear it...
