Got some progress made on the car today. Not bad for under 3 hours of work on it. It was moving fairly quickly until I reached the fuel injection system. At that point, I mostly slowed down out of caution to avoid doing any damage. A mistake on this system would be expensive.
I'm hoping to have both cylinder heads removed by tomorrow night. Then I should be able to have them reinstalled by Wed night and the rest of the engine back together by Thur night or Fri morning.
I'm taking all the precautions I can to be sure the car goes back together properly. Been taking pictures along the way, tagging wires.
Getting to bed soon, so I can get up early to get some more work done on the car.
I've been really happy for having the motor bike. If I need parts or tools, it takes a fraction of the time and energy to take a short ride to get them, as opposed to walking for them. The truck runs but has to warm up a bit before I can drive it and burns a lot more fuel. I only use the truck for things too big for the bike. However, I've managed to haul a radiator and a starter on the bike, so there's not much it doesn't handle if I plan for it. I've also carried 0 lb bags of dog food on the bike several times now. I just strap it down securely.
I seriously need to buy more thermal underwear this year. Old ones are falling apart. Maybe I'll up the asking price for the truck to $350 when I sell it, since I went ahead and replaced the radiator. The extra money would get several pairs of long underwear, a pair of jeans and a sweatshirt or two. I need comfortable, not fancy when working at home.
Speaking of work, I did 86 cases today! That's almost to the 90 I am shooting for.
Since I hit the 90 day mark this past weekend, I emailed my supervisor to request an earlier shift when it comes available. All the way back to 6:30 my time, if possible. (Which would be 8:30 AM on the east coast.) That would give me a higher chance of a high case count plus offer more time off work while sun is up.
Third audit is under way. Only one case so far but that hit 100. Hoping that trend continues. Only a very few calls I hope they don't listen to. One of those I wrote to my supervisor about because the caller was so rude. If they truly pick cases at random, odds are low they'll pick any of the ones which I wouldn't want heard. In those cases, I really just responded to the bad attitude of the caller. And I have not lost my composure with them, just responded to aggression with my own solid wall. Some people think the more aggressive they become, the more likely you are to give them their way. I always make a serious attempt to work the pathways effectively, so their behavior does no good.
Need sleep.
