WELL THE TITLE SORT OF SAYS IT ALL. I FLEW TO ATLANTA AND THEN RENTED A CAR AND DROVE TO NEWNAN, GEORGIA FOR WORK. NOT FAR FROM ATLANTA, ABOUT THIRTY MINUTES SOUTHWEST. ONE OF THE DEALERSHIPS THE COMPANY HAS IS A KAWASAKI LOADER DEALERSHIP. SO.....I CAME TO THE AMERICAN ASSEMBLY PLANT TO "CHRISTEN" FOUR MACHINES THAT A CUSTOMER BOUGHT AND IS SHIPPING TO SOUTH AFRICA. SEEMS KIND OF A ROUNDABOUT WAY OF DOING IT BUT, I GET A MINI VACATION OUT OF THE DEAL.
WELL, NOT EXACTLY. I WORKED FROM 6 THIS MORNING TILL 6 TONIGHT, AND TOMORROW WILL BE ABOUT THE SAME. BUT I GET TO SLEEP IN ON THURSDAY BECAUSE MY FLIGHT BACK DOESN'T LEAVE UNTIL 2:45 OR SO(IN THE AFTERNOON). IT'S NOT BAD WORK, CHECKING EVERYTHING, PRESSURES, RPM'S, CYCLE TIMES, ALL THE B.S. STUFF.
AT HOME, I DID GET SOME OF THE HANDRAILS MADE FOR MOM'S FRONT PORCH, THE TRUCK STILL NEEDS A BRAKE LINE, PLUS EVERYTHING ELSE THAT HASN'T GOTTEN DONE SO FAR THIS SUMMER.
OH, THE CLASS REUNION WAS AN ABSOULUTE BLAST! I HAD SO MUCH FUN. IF I CAN FIND IT I'LL POST A PICTURE OF THREE OF THE GUYS I WAS IN AUTO SHOP WITH. THREE OF US ARE STILL MECHANICS, AND ONE OF THEM IS A HELL OF A MUSICIAN, BUT FROM TALKING WITH HIM AT THE REUNION HE STILL USES THE SKILLS HE LEARNED IN "WILD" WARREN HOUSINGER'S CLASS. WELL, I THINK THAT'S ALL FOR NOW.
TALK TO YOU SOON,
TVI
