I have unloaded dozens of cans of ether through Powerstrokes and
Cummins with no problems other than melted GP tips, which werent working anyway, hence the ether. A Ford mechanic is a thousand times more dangerous to a Powerstroke than a can of ether.

Taken from another thread... I should just change it to Freightliner mech... but...:ph:

its a pretty sweet job when i do actually get to operate but the problem is its navy first operate second so there really isnt alot of operating time compared to civilian operators but still not a bad job though.

Mr. Miyagi 07-23-2009 11:16 PM

Primary gig is as a field service mechanic for a utility equipment company. Cover Washington, Oregon, and Alaska. Just got back to full time work last month after a year or so of here & there due to illness and have already worked six 60+ hour weeks in a row...good to be back!


I run shovel and stroke delimber part time for a buddy's logging company when he needs a relief hand. Been around equipment my whole life. Kinda fun.

Haul logs sometimes....my father and I own a few trucks and I'll end up driving one here and there as needed....logs mostly, but we have quick interchange bunks to go to a 5th wheel and pull a drop deck, side dump, etc with one of the tractors.

Also do 3rd party CDL testing in above mentioned trucks.

Work on two race teams. YO ADRIAN! WE'RE IN THE POINTS LEAD, BABY!!!!!!

Drive my own race car sometimes...when I'm not wrenching on the ones that are actually competitive...

Fire Department.....First Responder.....HAZMAT clean up specialist....

Give golf lessons as time permits...

Plus a bunch of side jobs turning wrenches...

Coach little league baseball, football, and help with a boxing club around here.

I also drink heavily and suffer from OCD/ADHD and have been known to get in fights a lot...Has nothing to do with lack of time to get anything constructive accomplished, having no social life outside of the above mentioned activities, or anything like that.... :w2:

I did a 12 hour day once where I probably had a true 45 minutes of actual working time...the rest was driving along rockin' out to the stereo...

MossBack 07-25-2009 11:48 PM

Bought the LIFETIME subscription to SIRIUS. Hell ya only way to keep the sanity while driving to BFE. Sirius 99 is my most listened channel.:U:

Mr. Miyagi 07-25-2009 11:51 PM

hehehehehehehehe one of our guys based in SLC got a brand new truck two years early because he leaned over to pick up his SIRIUS remote off the floorboard and hit the back of a C.R. England trailer that was slowing for traffic by Bountiful......

Cruise control is not for dummies. :argh:


I should really get satellite radio. Haven't done it yet.

its very distracting... But 500 bucks for a lifetime subscription after 2 years its paying for its self. I hate SL, UT and never miss driving there. I used to drive from ogden to slc everyday. Now in vernal i drive 3 miles max to work. Nothing is better.

04redstroker 07-26-2009 08:11 PM

I move really big stuff, like when you wonder how they got something in somewhere, like generators, MRIs, anything with tons in the weight. I get it in there. AKA rigging
