after a comment I left at Tam’s that my ASE certification is due for retirement.

I took it, after all, in the wee early 1980’s, you had to be certed to work on certain mobile stuff which was part of my apprenticeship. Hell, had I stayed there ( I was not yet 21 when I hired in) I would be retired now. Of course my lungs would be black as the bowels of hell, my mind messed up (well, in different ways than it is now) and my back probably broken.

Quite a few of the guys I worked with at the time are now dead and gone, young healthy guys with good minds. Glad I got out when I did.

I haven’t had need to get the ASE recerts but I don’t think it would be that hard. When i did the certs originally they didn’t have fuel injection for gasoline vehicles nor any electronic controls, and the engine emissions cert was a thing of the future.

Guess I’ll put the card back in my dresser.
