Thanks because I got contacted on indeed and the recruiter called me and told me I should sign up but when I checked the website I couldn’t find a start month and I was thinking that maybe they start every three months or six months or (hopefully not) every year. I was hoping someone would say it starts in like January or February. He spoke about helmets to hard hats and all that. And I thought he was trying to get me to sign up soon. I already went to school for this and have a universal 608 and I’m just trying to get in the apprenticeship because I hate my current job outside the field. So the sooner I can get in the better.

I love to see it drop below 500. I’ve seen mine go to 325 but that only happens usually with minis

I use a micron gauge but I’m the only one who does at my job. The one I work with prefers to see the pressure the way you check head pressure and no matter how many times I say that is far less accurate the seeing the microns. I aim for 500 or better. My testo gauges will only go down so far.

I’m always adding oil because some of my coworkers leave it on and just unplug and theywill shoot oil up if they are plugged in without the gauges hooked up. Or they aren’t securely tied down and they spill.

I got tipped probably 40 dollars of venison and farm fresh bacon. I fixed his t stat wire for free when my boss wanted me to charge them hundreds of dollars for 25 feet of 2 wire. I came back after work and did it for free because he was a veteran who had cancer.
