dang john, i am sorry to hear. hopefully they did not hand you a faulty parachute!

hvac- like stationary systems or mobile systems.
regardless, you gotta mix a little "C" in there somewhere
maybe a little "A" to keep things floating for a while.

our demographics are way different, but around here trucks arent keeping people employed, however HVAC is in HUGE demand. mainly there are job openings for in house maintenance people at all of the big office or manufacturing buildings.

Yep.. B & C John.

The "Masses" will ALLWAYS wana be somewhere between 75 & 80 degrees ? Year 'round work ?

Which would then enhance yer capabilities to do "C".

From your posts I can only assume your a top notch mechanic. If "B" isn't an option maybe do some of your own work? I have my straight trucks serviced by a guy who is a full-time mechanic and also works at home. Or have you gone that route and it didn't work out?

thats exactly right! also, many buildings are so big that heat and ac arent the issue, its just moving the air to keep it from getting stale from 1000+ people breathing with no open windows! its not unheard of for a company to cancel work because an air handler went down.

I vote for "B" and then "D" only after consumption of may adult beverages.

Best of luck JL, hate to hear this news.
