Awesome.
Everything on an engine of any type starts with timing.
Learn how that works and the screw turners and distributor twisters will be calling you to get it done.
Any chucklehead can turn a screw.
A mechanic knows which screw to turn.
And charges for that hard earned knowledge.
The more you learn, and the more times you try and get it wrong.
The better you become.
One day, knuckleheads will bounce off of your back like hail off of a duck.
And then all of a sudden without even trying you end up being that guy who just knows things.
Maybe not the best engine builder.
Maybe not the best car restoration guy.
But you can sure as **** fix your house and mend your fences.
Figure out how that truck works.
Ten years from now they will be rare as hell.
There will be an attempt to ban trucks.
You will need a permit to drive a truck and you have to prove PROVE that you coulndt take that **** on the bus.
So, a 4.5 million dollar contract with 60 percent direct tax dollars and basically 80 percent through fuckery and we have to plant gardens on top of our trailers in order to offset the carbon footprint of the trailers that are parked on city asphalt which does not absorb water and runs right the **** into the bay.
So We have to hual the site trailers off because they arent built for a ******* roof garden and we need to find some ******* to build us a ******* trailer that will support a roof ******* garden.
Nice job on the carbon footprint ye *****.
I believe I have already mentioned the entire steel ******** episode.
Yep, erecting steel is oppresive.
Last week we had a meeting because the carpenters can no longer use the term "stud"
Nobody in the trades gives a flying **** about any of this.
Most of the rotten old racist ******** have been chased out and the rest of them are on the way.
Commercial consrtuction is like a big bunsen burner.
The heat is always boiling.
The job is too keep your people out of the pot.
And to keep yourself and ypur company out of the boiling pot
That is the basis of risk management.
You will never achieve a goal like that if you believe that all of everything begins and ends with you.
It does take a hell of a lot of calm and a hell of a lot of willingness to be prepared to accept the responsibilty when someone you have entrusted to follow through makes a mistake.
That is just how it is.
Sometimes I have to sleep.
I am 57 and exhausted.
I have a beutifull wife and a cat and some old man toys.
I am still working because I can.
Ive already had the conversation with my wife about when I loose my mind and start babbllng just run me a bath amd chuck the toaster in.
The big problem is that Mom owns a whack of land in Eastern Washington and a bunchof land and mineral rights in the Dakotas.
So far, a ten year lawyer *********** just to try and give it away.
Garbage land.
