Heeeeeeerrrrrrreeeeees Me
Howdy folks,
Just wanted to drop by and introduce myself...I am a 47 year old self taught PLC programmer who has been on one motorcycle or another since 1962. My dad used to tie an aircraft tiedown across the handlebars, and sit me on the tank in front of him. I would hold on the the rope and ride it like I stole it!! I would even lay my head down and take a nap!!!
I spent 4 years in the United States Marine Corps working on CH-46E Helicopters, my wife and I have 6 kids between us, 2 of which are currently serving in the United States Air Force, and I couldn't be prouder of them!!!!! I have 2 granddaughters and a 3rd on the way, and I couldn't be prouder of them either!!
I pretty much do all of my own preventative maintenance, and I try to fix anything that goes wrong with my own scooter. I have even been known to help a friend or two on thiers. I now own my 2nd NEW Harley. I traded in my 03 Springer that had 75K on it for the 07 Ultra that I now own. Personally I liked the Springer better, but the OL is TONS more comfortable on the bagger, and I don't mind havin' the radio!
I currently work at Consolidated Diesel Company which is a joint venture between Case New Holland and Cummins. We build the "B" and "C" block diesel engines in 4 and 6 cylinder flavors. My job is to assist the electricains in keeping the machinery running, as well as design and implement improvements to the computer controls in the plant. I enjoy my work, and my motorcycle!!
So, that's me in a nutshell, who the heck are you???

RE: Heeeeeeerrrrrrreeeeees Me
Welcome GzrGld.
PLC's run the world don't they...if we turned them all off at once, what would the poor people do? I bet we'd have some barganing leverage. Probably get anything we wanted.
Glad to have ya aboard. Ride safe!
