I didn't ask for the "promotion" but a lot of people retired and money has been tight so everybody is doing more with less.

I could retire but still need to work. Was just talking with an agency that hires for Buell, only 5 miles away. They don't pay much for assembly but if I could work into a tech job it might be OK.

[Devlsmurf]

Bill---Sir, What branch?

[BuellPartsGuy]

LeFox, I'm working w/our programmer to come up with a couple of different belt pully sizes. I Think there woould be a market for those that want to change ratios but don't want to switch to chain.

The problem with changing pulley sizes is you cant take links out of a belt. lol


If you need any info to help out, be sure to let me know...

[LeFox]

The problem with changing pulley sizes is you cant take links out of a belt. lol

If you need any info to help out, be sure to let me know...
yea, but there are other belts that could be suited to handle the power.

[His_and_Her_Buells]

That's why we're working on the front & rear as a set to be able to maintain the same belt length. One of the hurdles however is likely having to adjust the idler pulley to accomadate the new diameter of the front pulley and maintain proper tension.

p s. I know my spelling may be off on this post but it's late, I'm tired, and too lazy right now to go to dictionary.com

Hey Poohspot18, our MOS codes are only confusing when you start adding our additional skills in. Like technically I'm a 15U4N1. Ha Ha. But that doesn't change our rank like the Navy does that confuses people. How's an E6 in one field gonna have a different rank accronym than an E6 in another field?

The other part of the day is spent trying to explain to designers that "Cabinets don't float" nor can you put 10#s of...ah... Stuff... in a 5# bag, which is the part of the day I hate.

[sedars]

Oh Midnight if I can sway you away from being a cop I will, Other than really funny stories the job sucks!! Trust me unless you enjoy fighting, and being pissed and spit on don't do it. Saying that, it was kinda fun, but not for the money.

[Midnight82]

Well, that's why I'm taking the Volunteer route for now. It'll give me some face time with the actual job before actually making the leap.

[sedars]

right, good call, your legit man I just wanted to give you a heads up, it is a good thing to do if your using it to get somewhere else like i did, but I can't imaging still being there!

[Midnight82]

Yea, from what I've seen so far it really takes a special kind of person to do patrol for a career.

I'm definately looking for that stepping stone to something better though.

Served seven years Navy on P-3 as an Aviation Electronic Tech.

Did a four year apprenticeship as a Tool&Die Maker, and then became a Journeyman Tool&Die Maker.

Got laid off in the early 90’s and went back to school and received my Master’s Degree in Oriental Medicine. Passed the California State Board test for practicing Acupuncture.

Could not start a practice successfully and feed a family of four, so I went back into what I knew which is manufacturing. This eventually led me to my current job for eight years at a local University; I am the Engineering Technician for the Mechanical Engineering and Industrial Systems Engineering program.

My son just finished his undergrad degree for Mechanical Engineering from USD and my daughter is about to finish this December from USD for her teaching degree. Then maybe I can start my practice!

31B-MILITARY POLICE Currently stationed in Germany and going to get so arrested when I get back to the states. You have no idea how lax the law enforcement is up in the hills. Splitting lanes at 120mph in a 60 mph zone. Did I mention it was a two lane road. I know what you mean sedars, you have no idea the level of stupidness in the world until you work patrol. Yes I know above mentioned may seem stupid until you have lived in Germany, the cars just move to the outside of the lane and let you by.

panhandler

[pyrat]

Hey Wrench...your "panhandler" occupation reminded me of this sunny afternoon, many years ago, drinking numerous Red Stripes, at the Bull & Whistle on the corner of Duval and Caroline in Key West.

While sitting on the second level balcony, I was watching this guy standing on the corner holding a sign that read "Dirty Jokes $1". While I sat there for way too many hours, watching and listening to this guy, he probably averaged about fifty people stopping per hour, dropping a dollar into his upturned cowboy hat, and listening to one of the guy's fifteen lame dirty jokes.

Eventually the guy folded up his sign, pocketed his earnings, grabbed his hat, and headed on his way.

Two days later, while I was heading out to dinner, there he was...the same guy, the same sign, the same corner. I started thinking...fifty dollars and hour, averaging just four hours a day, three hundred days a year(he needs some vacation time)...thanks $60,000, tax free, for telling lame dirty jokes. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?!?

[hdwrenchtx]

Too bad I can't tell a joke worth a damn. I think panhandling has got to pay more than motorcycle mechanics right now. Winter in this economy...sucks big time

I'm a mechanical assembly tech for a research company that converts sugars into gasoline.
Love the job, don't pay squat, and my manager spends most of his day admiring his colon.
Ever since I left the Marines, it seems each job I have sucks more than the last one. Nothing compares to being in the service.
