Here is a Cat truck that was at the NW Diesel Instructors Conference in Mukilteo last Thursday and Friday.

I learned some things not to do, but we'll discuss them in class; not publicly.

When you are working with big stuff think about what it is you are doing.

How heavy might it be?

Will the hoist lift it?

Is there a scale for the hoist?

Remember to play a guessing game with parts so that you begin to get an idea what things weigh.

What have I learned this week? Well, I have learned that, as always, I plan to do too much. I think that we are going to zoom when that really does not happen.

I DO know that you are all making important strides in your learning. Electrical is not an easy subject, and you are all doing well.

If you do not see your blog listed here I may not have the address. Be sure to get with me to make sure you have a blog listed. Read other students blogs and comment...play nice now. (;
