Well fellas, November had a Rocky start..but December 1st was a milestone..
After, being side-lined the first 15 days of November, I pulled out some nice training and have been feeling Strong...
So,Strong infact...I worked Yesterday..
After, eleven disappointing months, yes...I returned to work..
Now,I'm only able to do so for 4 to 6 hrs..but I did quite well..Diagnosed an old 1999 BM 300 TD..without any communication with the DME (engine control module)...
And helped train a new guy on Brakes on a Mini Cooper..
I try to work to get a (better than wholesale part prices)...free shop time to work on my Benz..little cash (30 an/hr under the table)..
But, mainly to find another car at a steal..
Working in this industry has few perks..
But I've landed some sweet ass deals over nearly 30 yrs working on cars..
But,I Only work on BMW's..Porsches and Benz..That pay very well..
Just can't break anything or miss Diag..
Stopped working on Rolls-Royce and Bentley, due to the incredibly high priced wood trim..
The Bentley Contenial GT Convertible, with that teakwood bones cover...
Yeah,just the wood...is 35k...I ain't trying to buy that shit...
I buy a part...it goes on my car..
And those 10k Ferrari paint jobs...Nope ain't touching them..
Plus,most of the owners of those types of cars..are straight A-holes...
Sore this morning...but felt good still rocking at what I know..
C has been harder this year..by far
But yesterday...I pushed back hard..
Took back some and stood up against that Dragon...
One can never give In..or loose Hope..
Not one damn minute..Ever..
But..Yesterday..I won a huge Battle..
For those fighting...whatever..
An addiction, alcohol, PTSD,loss of family or just tuff times..Fucking Fight..!!
I refuse to have the things I love to do taken away...or sequester myself in my room and hide...
Not Fucking Happening..!!!
Now..to pay respect...
I have a terrific girl...she slips now and then, but is a trooper..
My close friends here on ASF...
And God....
A damn good day...
This morning is no rest day..
Procedures at 11am...Gym..then some shopping...
One can never give up pushing back, taking back what has been taken..
Or..
It is Forever lost...
Side Note...
The other day a new member joined with major physical issues..lost a leg ,below his knee..
Always....someone has it worse..
Inspired the Hell out of ME..
Thanks Family for giving me strength to Continue this War...
One for Z...
