We all know that when doing PMs its not a huge money maker. My company is giving us training on how to do PMs which is fine but when someone who has never turned a wrench is giving the class it does not sit well with us.

Here is what they are saying to do:

1.grease unit 1st
2. visually inspect unit
3. clean unit with compressed air

Here is what we actually do.

1. Clean unit with compressed air and visually inspect unit at the same time.
2. Grease unit

What we actually do just seems like a more efficient use of time but what you yall think?

Fact of the week
The two internal cavities in our nose called nostrils function as separate organs. Each nostril has its own set of turbinates and olfactory receptors. The two independent organs work together through a mechanism called the nasal cycle, where one nostril is dominant for air intake while the other rests and is better at detecting scents.
