dash is giving you GREAT advice. After reading many threads here regarding finding a job in the business without being a fully trained tech, I sent out a letter to every company in the phone book. It...
I think one of the real experts needs to jump in here and discuss the terms 'heat' and 'temperature'. I think some confusion is brewing over the use of these terms.
Temple. Belton, actually, but saying that means noone knows where I am. I say Temple and 7 people know where I am. Just saving work for 7 people I guess.

Later I will have a thread titled "Leftovers!!!!"
That help?
It is my wife's birthday today. She turned one of those ages when your not allowed to ask how old anymore. Just slid 6 fat t-bones on the grill and sipping on a nice cold beer. Life is good sometimes.
Leave it to government to make a law abiding citizen a criminal.
People using those techniques tend to be in love with money and are willing to do anything to satisfy that love. Another interesting fact about people in love with money; when they do not have it,...

thehumid1,

I find lots of things among the various threads. Some so technical they will have to be revisited later when higher on the learning curve. Few nights back I did all the sample questions and as I...
