I drive alot so I get a new car every three or 4 years..... my last 2
cars were coopers. a regular cooper and a cooper s
i put over 200,000 on the cooper.....but the s started giving me all
kinds of trouble at 75,000 miles..
needless to say i loose alot of money on cars..... a 3 year old car with
over 150,000 miles doesn't bring much in the way of re-sale
i get a car allowance from work and i get to write off my mileage as a
business expense but i liked it alot better when i got a leased car in
the companys name
i change my oil once a month or so....go thru 2 sets of tires a year,
about 4 windshields a year....and am real rough on shit....but i gota
get more mileage outa this car
i started a service division for the company i work for about 25 years
ago......i've been there 35 years.....old bastard :o)
valves....power plants, cogen plants, trash burners and a few refinery's
rebuild of safety valves, control valves, gates, globes ect......mostly
in-place but some in our shop
electric actuator and gauge glasses rebuilds.....and some inplace
machining
basically we are a big ole machine shop with steam, air and water test
loops
i moved from a basic hourly job to vice president and am now responsible
for maintaining the base customer relationships and building new
bussiness....
i used to be responsible for all operations but now concentrate on
revenue....
we have aprox 20 guys who are valve tech's, machinists, welders ect
it's fun but high pressure and stressful.....everything is emergency and
we're always critical path.....but that's what i know
the miles come from driving to accounts in the new jersey, new york,
conn, penn areaa
so now you know :o)
hitting the rack now....talk tomorrow
