[KIMOSABE]

Currently and loving it ......machine operator in the coal fields qld.
Got out of machines 15 years ago and have done a thousand different things too many to mention here.

I left school when I was 14 and did motor mechanics for three years, now although that was some time ago! looking back, that time spent in the trade set me up for a life time of tinkering with my own bikes and cars and also having confidence to help mates and strangers broken down on the side of the road.....

Other recent jobs include the alternator swap on the EH (bad outcome, simple oversight > fried loom...) swap and rebuild of starter motor etc.... On Stato to date done the baremetal, removal of rust and fabrication of all repair sections to get a mate to weld them up, panel prep so he can spray etc, swapped the springs, dismantled it etc etc.... Basically anything too complex or that I don't feel comfortable with I know when I'm outta my depth and have plenty of mates more skilled lol

As for working on Cars, used to love it, engine swaps, upgrades, gearboxes, suspension, pretty much anything but Auto elactrics and LPG servicing.

Hi BENT_8,
Get well soon. Been through the perforated bowel scenario, it can get very nasty (I turned septic day 4 post surgery but managed to fight my way back).

I hope yours is tiny as can be, all the very best.

Ex-contract software developer on all things Microsoft. Now most my time is spent sitting on the beach. Although I've been called back into the office next week to see through some cloud and mobility concepts I've been ranting on about for a while. So I guess I'm still in IT, sort of...

I'd like to do servicing, I used to do servicing, but too much can (will!!) go wrong, so I pay someone who KNOWS what they are doing!!

I.T Tech for the DEECD.

Damn good wages for my age and it's be a job for experience to go into other fields of I.T.

I do my own oil and coolant, will learn how to do plugs and leads (Presume it's as easy as oil, just have to buy the right plugs I spose) and want to make friends from here that can teach me how to do things like brakes, suspension, possibly an AU engine for the EB in the future ;)
