Was the hose or the fuel more expensive?
I guess 300 in fuel.

This whole day trip was expensive. I get the same rate traveling as I do turning wrenches.Was the hose or the fuel more expensive?

Hahaha...It's a $1,400 dollar hose. The machine can't operate without it-so it is.
Windshield time is great when it's this hot and humid428 miles today for one hose replacement. The good news was I found a Napa nearby that was able to make the oring face hose replacement. Just this one small blow in the hose, inside the abrasion cover with no abrasions, cracks, stretches or bends.

This hose was over 9 feet long and ran through multiple welded loom rings up to a valve in the upper front frame. It sucked but I've had a lot worse.
Not the same school anymore as entered the US Education support finance theme, went to David Ranken Trade School in 75/76, was a crash course just to get young capables' into the market. Basics on Mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, testing and major repairs with touches on failure determinations and typical failure causes, touched on welding and machining principles. Diesel/Gas Engines/Gear Train and Chassis. 10 Months, class started with 33, ended with 15 graduating, 11 placed initially and four changed careers right off.
For a HS Drop out I was number Two in GPA at graduation. As of 1987, the school got into finance woes, bought into Fed money, became a worthless degree program school directly after. My course went to Two Years, with more academia than skills base teaching where the school now cannot achieve enough entrants.
Had a couple friends that went to linn for fabick. Said they learned more in a summer working at a small mom and pop shop than in 2 years at school.They fall into same money pit of despair?
Several trades schools have gone this route ending as failures. Linn State Tech or Mo State Tech ‘College’ as named now is fairing no better.
The school district we lived in in Texas, has a really nice trade school facility. more students are taking classes there every year, and they are adding programs. Our son went through their auto technology program. If it had not been for that program, I am not sure he would have made it till graduation. One of the Dallas Community colleges was offering a 2 year degree in auto technology, and had a great shop program. He went there, worked for a couple of auto dealerships, and for the last 8 years, has been employed by the local Cat dealer, in their emergency generator division. Doing really well, and it is all because he got great instruction in the trade school programs. More schools need to be offering various trade school programs. You can make a LOT more money in the various trades than you can working at Starbucks or McDonalds, or some computer related job.

I had a old mechanic tell me going to trade school you will ether not learn much or already know the basics of what they will try to teach you he was about wright but it is kind of like a primer to get you started i would recommend it. I had been welding for several years on my own i went and took some night classes i learned alot there. If i could i would take some more welding classes.Had a couple friends that went to linn for fabick. Said they learned more in a summer working at a small mom and pop shop than in 2 years at school.
