    New Job for Me??

    The HR lady came to campus on Thursday and did screening testing and interviews. The screening test was something, some of the most stupid, incomprehensible questions I've ever seen. In spite of that, out of 68, I only missed two. Later, in comparing notes with some of my classmates, I found...

    I got kicked out out of school today!!!!

    Apparently what happened was some sick individual put a post on a blog site. He/she said that they were going to take a gun to the NMU campus and "get even" with some people. The stupid thing about it was when they said they were going to go to the NMU campus, they included the address of the...

    I got kicked out out of school today!!!!

    So far all they're saying is it was a threat posted on the internet and there is a person of interest. I expect there will be more info on the news. I can't believe the reaction over what some dumb assed kid put on the web. Too bad that the cops will be dealing with this moron instead of...

    I got kicked out out of school today!!!!

    Definately not. It's sunny & blue skies right now. ( A rare thing for da U.P. in the dead of winter. :cold 4:snowman1) It has to be some sort of bomb threat, hostage thing or some wacko with a weapon or some other similar deal. Even if that is the case, I can't believe how this thing has...

    I got kicked out out of school today!!!!

    I got kicked out of school today!!!! Sort of. We were in the middle of our first period class this morning. The campus emergency messaging system started going off. Our cell phones started getting text messages and the computers started flashing alerts that a 'serious' situation was...

    I am back

    Damn I hate it when people suddenly sail off over the edge of the world to never be heard from again. :nudge Glad you're back Dave. BTW, while you were 'gone', we got a new(?) member. Make sure you welcome the new guy No-Red 6 0. :lmao

    New Job for Me??

    Depends on what part of da U.P. you're talking about. The wind direction off of Lake Superior has a HUGE affect on where the snow falls. A West to NW wind will bury the western U.P. and areas from Munising along the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. My area around Marquette will sort of be in...

    New Job for Me??

    Yep, but again that's for a part time student with out any kind of FAA certificate. The expectation of this particular employer is that once students complete school, they will get their A&P certificate. (That is why they specify NMU Aviation Maintenance students in the hiring notice.)...

    New Job for Me??

    One never knows if or when a major career change may be required. Most of my classmates are significantly younger than me. In fact, people in my class over the age of 25, account for about 2/3 of the students. I think the reason may be that the demands and discipline of the program require an...

    New Job for Me??

    For a part time student without a mechanic certificate, that ain't bad. Starting for a fully certificated A&P is around $16 IIRC with good benny's and highly discounted plane tickets. I think within three or four years, it's over $20 with any shift differentials.

    New Job for Me??

    Yesterday one of our instructors posted this in the classroom: It was a pain to get done because it wasn't set up with students in mind, but qualified A&P mechanics. It took me three tries and three different e-mail addresses before it took. I figure out of the 19 of us in class, 2...

    Removing vlave cover with pics?

    The oil filler tube screws off the rt side v.c. The right (passenger) side was the more difficult. There were a couple of bolts on the bottom edge towards the rear that I found were actually easier to get through the right front wheel well using a 1/4" drive ratchet and a short socket...

    Failed cold start..

    Are your dash lights normal? Are the "wait to start" light" (WTS) and check engine light coming on like usual? A lot of 7.3 cold starting problems are due to one of 2 principle causes. First is cased by the heater element in the fuel filter bowl shorting out. When it does that, it'll...

    There should be a rule------

    That any team with less than a .500 record, can't get into the NFL play offs. If that's the case, make that playoff berth another wildcard slot. Sucking less than the other teams in your division isn't justification to get into the playoffs. This game between da Bears and the Seachickens...

    serious electrical problem

    X2 You might have a bad diode in the alternator allowing the batteries to drain & go flat. Another thing to check, is the glow plug solenoid stuck in the closed position? Again running the batteries down?
