Hey guys 👋 👋 It's been a minute. Hope you are all well 😊 Let's talk about what we call a "winch". Yes a winch. It is actually a very simple yet sophisticated device used in so many applications. It's uses and purposes makes it handy in a lot of Engineering applications. So, what is a winch?? 🤔 A winch is a mechanical device which is used to lift (pull in or let out) heavy loads. Yes, that is the simplest definition. A winch has many applications such as: 1. Used in construction to lift heavy loads 2. Has applications as in crane for carrying containers especially in seaports 3. Also for use in Aircraft maintenance works and so on. These are the few that I can list for now. 📒 📒

I swear, you can’t make this stuff up…. I’m an engineer but I agree w/ most mechanics - engineers hate mechanics & make things more complicated on purpose. This photo is of a brand new Mack Med Duty…. In our shop getting a service truck body installed for a farm down near Wytheville Look at where the air dryer is located, this will only be accessible after the tool body is mounted by crawling underneath the truck/tool body & reaching upward & around the driveshaft. Now I’ll grant that the service interval isn’t that frequent (the filter element gets changed every couple of years) but it still has to be inspected & SERVICED !!!! Only logic I can fathom is they figure you’ll do this in a pit while changing oil or transmission fluid - pity the poor fool who has to do this on the side of the road. (Because of Frozen air lines, other dry air system related issues) We’re going to do this poor guy a favor and move this to an easier to get at location. Come on Mack engineers, jeeeeez you can do much better than this.

Thanks Chris for bringing this up. So I have a question. How realistic is it for trades, particularly Detailing, to make over $100k? I'm 43 years old, over 17 years detailing, modeling, project management, estimating, etc. and I have never broken the 6 figure barrier. In this economic climate I NEED to make over $100k and I truly believe that my experience and value would align with that. HOWEVER, comparing similar available job openings in construction (Project Manager, Pre-construction Manager, Estimator, Superintendent, etc) they hit that mark and often exceed $100k, BUT almost all of them are listing a requirement for a degree. So I'm actually finding myself a bit disillusioned jumping on the 'Trades vs Degree' bandwagon. Yes, there are AMAZING entry level opportunities in the trades for students that might not otherwise go to college. However, I'm wondering now if it's an incredibly high percentage of those that join the trades and desire to continually improve and advance their career will max out their potential midway through their pursuits without some certification(s) and/or a degree. Am I crazy to think MOST of us should be cresting the $100k barrier at this level even without any post-high school formal education?
