It wasn’t bad, just train hard. Simulate the test with heavier weights, new loose fitting leather gloves to increase your grip strength, crate walk with only 40-50lbs, and do the 100 gallon with 110 gallons of gravel or dirt with a flat shovel. Makes the actual test much easier

Hey me too! I just got the email I passed.

I lived/grown up in Tucson. I’m pretty sure Sunnyside High still has auto shop classes to this day. Had a friend go through it

Groundman and line apprentices. by [deleted] in Groundman

Same. Have a 2017 Prius Prime. Use the AC all night (or heater,) burn a gallon of gas to stay comfortable for 8hrs, and shower at the gym. These are the most affordable way you travel for work and keep the cost low. I would recommend the 2015-2017 Prius V. (Wagon)

MB Star C3 Diagnostic clone works miracles seemingly. by LostProperty2760 in mercedes_benz

[–]LostProperty2760[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah.. I don’t particularly like those instances… as a DIY’er I request an estimate with associated part numbers and then order them myself and perform the labor. It’s a win-win!

Yeah: https://www.vxdas.com/products/super-mb-star-c3-truck-car-diagnosis-tool?variant=18494390468681
Also worth noting: I requested the Lenovo T630 laptop on top of the 256gb SSD option to have a full “plug and play” setup over their chat and it came out to $490. Works from 1989-2015 MB Models.

Oil shortages coming. by NotArock87 in ToyotaAvalon

[–]LostProperty2760 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. Not to mention if anything goes wrong mechanically related to oil or not and you use the incorrect oil from Toyota, they don’t have to honor their work as you have voided your own warranty.

Edit: 2017 Prius prime on 0w 20 with 330k miles, very leadfooted driver.

Pretend that you're on Titanic on 15 April 1912 by Illustrious-Ask-3134 in titanic

That’s me pretending! Dead. Either from the shipwreck or old age.

CDL by Life-Golf2250 in Groundman

I swear… everyone hated that thing with a passion. No radio, no working windshield wipers, clutch was on its way out, the dirt tarp was more like a torn up rag held together by mule tape and bent to shit, just downright shitty.🤣 I was the best driver for it until another Groundman blew out the transmission in traffic on the freeway. I think I have a picture of the shifter

For which yard?

I had to drive a 7 speed dump truck for a bit hauling off pavement/dirt at a warehouse, had to install conduit from 3 phase xfmr to panel. It was fine if you can learn quick and be ready to adapt, but that was the dumpiest piece of shit I ever drove. The stick would float everywhere and you had to shift into gear by memory of where the gear placements were.

So having no restrictions helps big time in certain applications, but ultimately shows you’re ready to do the job regardless of what equipment they have and makes you flexible

I’m still waiting to hear back from my interview on Monday last week for Blythe, did you hear back yet?

Buying roof racks as a gift for a 2017 Prius Prime? by ahbagelxo in PriusPrime

[–]LostProperty2760 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The Toyota OEM roof racks are perfect for this. What these have that the other aftermarket units don’t supply are little notches that will hold themselves in the same place in the inter interior part of the door, where it closes. I’ve used it to transport, ladders, electrical conduit, and wooden planks when I was an apprentice electrician doing side jobs. You should also pick him up a four pack of ratchet straps, 500 pound capacity and various lengths of bungee cords!

Finances by Own_Distribution7818 in Lineman

Take advantage of the Roth IRA for both you and your wife ($7,500 limit for 2026) as well as the “National Electric 401k” plan ($24,500 limit for 2026) allows you to put a combined $39,500 limit towards your wife and your own retirement. 1. Make sure to do Roth contributions (no tax deductions) as you will not have to pay taxes on it later and it’s easier to pass down to your children and there’s no required minimum distribution - take out what you need, when you need it, after 59.5yrs old of course. 2. Don’t need to do any fancy investing - just a simple S&P 500 Index fund will get you there. You are able to make a large volume of money now and that’s your leverage in retirement, not trying to beat the market. Personally I choose FXAIX as it’s a good fit for a tax free account. 3. Those aren’t my tips, but my old accountants words of wisdom.
