A day in the life at AMTS.

| Tensiometer to check cable tension |
Woke up today at 0530. Had a half cup of coffee and one of my roommates krispy kreme donuts while I read my Bible. Get backpack, water bottle, and of course a travel mug of coffee. 0640, outside the weather wasn't so bad and don't think anyone could be more excited to see clear car windows, no condensation and no ice! Study up for our quiz in airframe electricity, cramming all knowledge about batteries, generators, and alternators. 0740 class starts off with some Romans 2. 0800 quiz time! 0830, find some partners and get started on a generator. 1120, lunch time! Main campus classes were cancelled at 1300 due to election day? AMT students continue working! 1200, rigging time.! The elevator travel is out of limits, maybe the cable tension is better. Now how do we get to the cables to check the tension for the elevators? Get the tail cone! Never been so happy to see a inspection plate under the tail end of an airplane, a climb through to the end of the tail over cables did not seem like an exciting task. Now to figure out a way to tighten the turnbuckle. Check the tension, way to tight! Still could use some loosening. Perfect! No time to safety the turnbuckle?! Clean up the shop ready for tomorrow. 1540 time to leave for the day. Time for dinner and homework. Thank God for days off work!
