New Update

It has been awhile since my last update so I figured I would make a quick update... School is going good... I have nothing less than an 88 in all three of my classes... We just finished up manual transmissions in which I took the time to put in a clutch in my project car, While I was at it, I put a motor in it too... After owning it a year, I am finally able to drive it... I can email some pics of the work I have done to it if anyone is interested in seeing them... We start rebuilding automatic transmissions on Wed. and we have to do at least 4 or 5 in the 8 weeks of automatic transmission class...

Work hasnt changed much, I am still at the restaurant full time, making salads and deserts but recently I have been working with the chef on the hot food line serving dinners on top of serving the cold food... I have also been helping serve the meals for the banquets we have, most have been wedding receptions with 200 or so people... That can be a lot of fun until we have to plate the meals...

I plan on taking a road trip home this winter break, from Dec. 28th till Jan. 11th or so... I will be driving so I have to watch the weather closely to determine when I can make the safest trip.

Alex-

I admire anyone who can repair autos and am very proud of you. One of my uncles on my mom's side said that there are two kinds of people in the world: practical people and theoretical engineers. And he pegged me as the latter.
