Made it to the weekend!!!

Well, another week survived. Stopped by the repair shop to check on the status of the truck, the State Farm adjuster was supposed to have been there today to finalize the estimate on the truck, he still hasn't showed up, according to the claims office he has 48 hours to show up. The State Farm estimate so far is a little over 5000.00 the repair shop has added about 500.00 more to that total, but we're still under the total loss value of 9025.00, so it looks like the truck is going to be rebuilt.

As for work, well, pretty much SSDD. Spent the first couple of hours making battery cables, then had to go down to the final assembly area and re-route a power lead breakout that wasn't done correctly, my fault on that, it was an engine that they only use when shipping the rig overseas, and I had wired and routed it the same as the standard engine setup. Spent a hour cutting it all loose and reworking it correctly after the engineer had explained the correct routing. After lunch was another rework job, not my fault this time, the build sheet for the truck had been revised with a new main chassis harness, but the dummies had forgotten to revise the parts kit pull sheet with the new part number, so the old style harness got pulled and installed instead. At first we were going to have to pull the whole 30 ft long harness out of the truck, but one of the senior engineers loked at the prints and discovered that there was only a minor difference in the harnesses, so I spent about 15 minutes altering and retagging the harness, instead of two of us spending a couple of hours pulling and replacing the harness. Spent about a half hour doing finish wiring on another truck and then spent the last couple of hours of the day making more battery cables, LOL.

Well, that's about all that happened today, looking over my to-do list for theis weekend, I'm going to be a busy beaver out in the yard this weekend, a lot of clean up to do.

That's all for now, you may return to your own borning life now.
