Title: New Old Guy Post by Spalding1 on Mar 26th, 2006 at 10:10pm
Hello nerdz!
Well, after a two year stint installing sprinklers for a living and unwinding from 20 years of wrenchin' I've returned to my first love. ;) I can't boast of any degrees or advance certs other than L1 and 5 other ASE flavors. I'm not really even a car guy I don't think. I've never built a race car or even a high performance street car. I've tinkered with plenty though. Mostly to try to get some hairballed DIY race car to get through emissions back in CA. What a joy... I like the tech stuff though. I build computers as a hobby and sell a few too. As for cars, well after being away for a couple of years, I'm playing catchup just to cut the mustard. er that was dumb, sorry. That new fangled CAN bus thingy is what i've been lookin at along with a refreshing on scanners and DSO's and OBD II etc... I work for one of the largest dismantlers in the country (note my username) doing everything from tires to engine / tranny installs to drivability and emissions. I miss the sunshine every day now that I'm back inside an under-lit shop with the doors all closed (till it stays warmer), this is why I took off the two years. Oh well, my last daughter at home gets her braces... I'll see you around. I'm off to scope out the waveforms and the other stuff. hmmmm now where did i lay my reading glasses..? |
