Seems mechanic'n comes in spurts. This morning I was driving in to work thinking about the last couple of problems I was working. Both were neighbor's and I didn't have a current history of what had been going on in the life of the equipment that was broken.

Seems I systematically, without thinking, walked thru the systems and found the things (usually more than one) out of place, put them in proper order and the neighbor went home happy.

So while you're reading this think about your class schedule for the day:

1st period: Hydraulics 101
2nd Frozen Hardware
3rd Fuel problems
4th Transmissions

Get the idea.

You daily, or several times daily, surf thru this site and your mind is exposed to these problems and solutions from a very diverse audience. After awhile, your brain is totally sharp. You are a machine. You can attack anything. You know all their is to know about everything (oops).

No wonder we are attack dogs just waiting for the next victim (er ah problem).

I love it and hope you do too.

If the first tool you employ for any job is your brain, and you aren't afraid to ask questions and learn something new, there is no problem too complex to solve..... A day spent without learning something new is just another wasted day..... .....

"You know all their is to know about everything"


That reminds me of the difference between an engineer and a salesman.

Ans. An engineer learns more and more about less and less until they know everything about nothing, whereas a salesman learns less and less about more and more until they know absolutely nothing about everything!!!

I don't know everything, but know some people that do. If you don't believe me, just ask them!

These boards here are a great wealth of knowledge. There is usually a right answer available here.
