Thanks again guys!
@Hans, Yes I live a little more than an hour south of Buffalo. I am essentially on the edge of the normal “Lake Effect” snow belt. The potential is always there that the belt will set up and dump a LOT of snow on us but usually it is farther north. The lady I am dating lives in the southtowns of Bufflao and literally had 7 feet of snow in her driveway when they got hit last month. I picked up a new snowblower for her and delivered it once they lifted the driving bans. Took me close to 10 hours to clear her driveway and then we went and rescued a co-worker of hers up the street. Another 4 hours there.
At one point prior to the major life change I had worked for Cutco in Olean but that empoyment ended about the time the marriage did. I worked for a company in the Jamestown area for three months and they essentially closed their doors. I now work an hour drive in the opposite direction from home. For a company that manufacturs and repairs equipment for the Oil & Gas industry. Again the weather can be challenging but the new hobby is dash cam photos of the sunrises and sunsets. My Cell phone mounts to the dash and I keep the camera set so I only have to tap the screen to take photos.
The new job is interesting. I still work as a mechanical product designer using Solidworks and a 2D drafting program that can open AutoCAD drawings but this job is much less drafting oriented and MUCH more paperwork heavy. I do Data entry and Quality Assurance paperwork more than I do any actual drafting anymore.
I lost a few of my files when I left Cutco though. The 3D models of my Wellsville Addison & Galeton 125 ton GE Center Cab are gone. I will need to recreate them. I ahve one last hard drive/thumb drive to check and I cannot get to it right now in my office at home. But I do not think I have the files anymore.
Hoping to get parts printed when I do get them re-created though.
Chas
