    Hello... New Member From Cali.

    Hello everyone.
    First Happy Holidays
    I have been lurking around here for a bit and decided to join. I am currently going to school for hvac-r in san jose cali.
    i have a couple of friends that have been in the field for several years now and told me its a good field to get into. so i finally got off my butt and went to school.
    I have a decent automotive background already so it makes it easier to pick and understand the fundamentals..
    i guess thats all.

    Happy Holidays..

    They lied.

    Welcome, just kidding. There is a ton of good info on here, so you've come to the right place.
    Sometimes when I consider what tremendous consequences come from little things, I am tempted to think there are no little things!

    I spent my first 19 years in the trade in Riverside and the last 19 in Lake Havasu Az.

    I guess that puts me in the old coots club. LOL
    Make your expertise uniquely valuable.

    Make your influence uniquely far-reaching.
