Reply to roadtek: It went the same way for me, I rode for a week with a Tech who had been at it for 30 years, Monday morning came, I loaded up my Iron, and it has been on since.
I would rather "Pick crap with the chickens" then go back in the shop full time. It's amazing how you come up with little tricks and "home made gadgets" to be able to work by your self.

I learned a lot of usefull things from the "Old Heads",who had been at it awhile , that I have used for years and try to pass it on to the new guys coming into this work. (which is another topic, not many are coming into it)

I have always been a "People" person, I like the fact you can see different places and see different people through the week, it keeps it from getting boaring. Having good people skills is a must in this business, a "BS" degree helps a bunch, it makes folks feel more comfortable around you.
