This week what I learned from the most was fixing a license plate light. The most challenging part of it was that it came to the shop with parts of it missing. This made it hard to figure it out by taking it apart. The light was missing and all the wiring was missing/cut so I had no idea where my power and ground came from.

Since we moved the shop to the new location most of my time has been spent organizing. My main role lately has been getting everything so that the shop runs smoothly and efficiently. There is so much to clean, organize, and figure out that I'm always busy. Besides the shop there's a shed and another storage area attached to the parts room. The entrance to the shed is too narrow for a forklift or a pallet so I've had to get everything in there by hand. The most difficult by far was the steel rack and all the shop steel. The idea was to get it inside so it wouldn't be covered in rust. I also have to go on a lot of parts runs to the local machine shops for flywheels etc. What I've taken away from all this is how to run a very busy shop and keep it moving forward. Since I'm the most familiar where everything is and how the new shop works I get a hundred questions a day. Whether it's the new oil catches, parts washer, how all the filters and oils are setup, how to bleed the airlines of moisture there's always something to have to know.
