Starting to feel at home

Postby Martiangod » Wed Mar 06, 2013 8:29 pm

Well headin on 4 months since the big move.
Little over 3 months at the new job and I find myself as the only tech on premises. Senior man so to speak, senior of one...lol
Just finished three weeks of h$ll preping and setting up our big show. Had 40 plus units there. Feeling like a deer in the headlites heading into trailer season with over 60 units to have out the door by May.
Hope the heck I find time to camp.....
Bought my new tool box today, time to rebuild all I left behind.
Feel a little better now, it hurt big time to walk awy from a lifetime collection of tools and everything else
So Introducing you to my new RV Tech workstation...in progress.
The place where I'll be making everyone elses vacations happen

Looks like you have a good work station set up just as you like it. Best wishes for a successful summer season!

I have long been interested in how often folks come to a job because they love it, but the job prevents them from doing what they love. As an example Bicycle shop owners who love to bike but whose busy season is the same as the time they would be out on a bicycle. The one way you can justify being out camping and write it off is coming to Tearjerker gatherings to "advertise" :thinking:
