Love my job!

Postby BigTruck » Fri Nov 13, 2015 10:54 pm

After getting out of the military it took me a couple of years to find a job worthy of making a career out of, but this summer I landed a terrific job doing logistics for a very small precision machining company. Don't be fooled when I say very small company, we do BIG things for big companies. Yesterday I shipped off some parts going to the International Space Station, and last week we completed 2 of these bad boys. Any guesses to what it is? 8-)

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

This doesn't go into space, it normally cruises around 30,000 feet, often in an orbit.

It houses a really big mirror, in space, which reflects the sunlight and heat onto my back garden throughout the cold Winter months....

That's a good idea Fozzer, but incorrect. Heat does come out of it though.
