Thanks again for all your replies. I'm not sure what the future will bring but will continue to keep up on the latest in HVAC. I still like it. It's nice when other techs (especially the newer ones)...

Thanks for all the replies and support! I have found local group counseling here supportive. This is why I shared --- Not for pity's sake but simply to talk out loud. I have always enjoyed this...

I have not posted much over the last 18 months. My life has turned upside down. I have always known life is not easy nor fair, but always tried my best. I left a cushy office job 7 years after...

After all these years I have purchased all my own tool;hand,meters, service, metal, power....You name it. My philosohy is if it's mine I will take good care of it. And it's a given that I won't loan...

Tore menicus in left knee and also fractured knee cap just after X-mas. Worker's Comp/Disability sucks. Only blessing was a baby boy born 1-15-08. Hadn't visited or posted in a while. Was depressed...

Manager and a Service tech went to this job. Service tech put up an 8ft ladder. Manager went up with a flash light. Took one look and came back down. They didn't argue with me. Paid me for monday....

Thanks Mayguy.
Tough to see, but the area in the bottom-right of the 2x4 is a drop ceiling. Space between furnace and studs about 1 foot. Couldn't kneel or squat. Had to lay sideways. There would...

Can anyone tell me how to post pics?

Haven't posted a pic in a long time. Don't know if it will show.

Had a devil of a time TRYING to service this untouched 10 year...

Steve, I always liked that skit. "The Holy Roman Empire was neither Holy, Roman nor an Empire--Discuss!"

After many years of getting my wife "so-so" gifts (according to her), I finally got her a gold and diamond heart shape pendant. She will probably think I lost my mind. Can't wait for her reaction:o

My buddy does sidework, install ONLY. Guess where this is leading to----if something doesn't work or work right he's stuck. He never learned service. Always phones me and asks if I could take a...

What? You guys can't read Russian? :p It's supposed to be herring.

My boss doesn't care if we wear shorts, jeans or sneakers. But he INSISTS that tatoos are covered. Doesn't affect me, but some guys have to wear long sleeves in real hot weather.

When it hits 60-65 degrees I start wearing shorts. RTU's, attics, crawlspaces or bushes. Doesn't matter. I'd wear sandles if I could. I look like Cliff Claven with white sweatsocks and black sport...

Wolfie, you moved from Las Vegas to California. How much time, effort and money did it cost you? You think you can relocate your ego. Not a chance! Your same BS, different place. Get group...

Take your story to a psych doctor. Seems like medication is in order:confused: Or at least, try some rose colored glasses.

It's still embarassing and shameful that a contractor did that. Even worse that they BS'd you afterward. God knows what hack work they did inside.

When we were watching it, I have to admit my wife got it before I did:mad:

Kinda similar to Pete Rose. Stinks. There will always be doubt.

MCR, now thats funny:D

What if the sign said "Clean restrooms ahead 20 miles"?

I grew up in a working class Italian neighborhood in NY. All you need to do is "astro-turf" the garage and put another kitchen there as well. Possible add a ceiling fan and TV set. Replace the...

Twilli, the modern day Baron von Munchhausen!

I still think you're trying to compare an American icon to a monkey. Newman and Heston are head and shoulders above Seagal. I always liked Wayne as an actor; maybe a bit stereotyped, but classic.
