An update from Nebraska

I havent posted in a while and figured I would give some updates.

First off, School. I have a B+ average in school right now. I have my Automotive Theory and Lab classes along with a Finance class and a Math class. My Automotive Lab grade is my highest because I work best doing hands on type of work. I am getting to the point of being able to diagnose problems without even seeing the vehicle. I haven't missed a day of class this semester but have been late a couple times. Last semester I missed 4 or 5 days.

Second. My project car was almost finished for a while, I had it out and driving it around, which is an accomplishment for what I started with. I took it to school one night for class and on the way there my alternator went out along with the clutch, so it will sit again until I can install those items.

Third. I have to do a summer internship in the automotive feild that will go towards school credit. When I was home for Christmas time, I applied at a local shop and was hired on the spot. I start May 11th at Tireman in Maumee, Ohio. With the economy the way it is, I am pretty excited about how this played out.

Well I hope everyone is doing well. In case you dont have my contact info, its:
