Who is RedHeartbeat.....international man of mystery?

[RedHeartbeat]

I was a machinist long ago. I love working on GM vehicles and they have always been my favorite. I also have been known to build an air-cooled VW engine once in a while. My current job for the last 15 years is computerized numerical control programmer, programming the computer controlled machine shop equipment. The last 5 years of the 15 I have been a technical analyst for our CNC programming department. What I do is write an interpreter language to communicate between our universal programming language and the actual machines on the shop floor. Over the last year, almost, I have also been working on developing a processor program that simulates the program on a computer before it goes down to the shop floor machine. This software called Vericut will let us know if we are going to scrap a part or crash a machine long before it goes to the shop. All that hard thinking M-F wears my brain out. I've been an analytical thinker all my life and it gets in the way from time to time but it does help to solve numerous problems at home and work. Just don't ask me how to work problems out with relationships, I can't do that.

sounds complicated, but fun. the reason i asked is because you do know ALOT about gm vehicles, and i just thought you might be in some sort of field that had to do with repair/rebuilding of the sort of gm vehicles. one day you should go to the dealership and just test their knowledge, im sure they would be blown away by how much you know. show those suckers whatsup. i know ive always wanted to.

Nothing frustrates me more than going to a dealership that has counter people that don&#39;t know their product line. I can understand Orielly, Autozone, PepBoys and Carquest having people that don&#39;t know all the brands because there are just soooo many. Hell, I was at the girl&#39;s softball game and saw a car I had never seen before, a British made hand built car called a TVR. As me a question about that one and all I can do is shrug my shoulders and say what the hell is that? It&#39;s always funny when I go to the service center at the dealership and just listen to the crap they tell the customers when trying to diagnose a problem. I wish I had some money or credit available to start a quality performance parts center in North Texas. We don&#39;t have anything up here in the Denton area. All the rod shops around DFW that I&#39;ve been to don&#39;t have true parts or accessories. Trying to find even things like Russell or Aeroquip hose connectors is impossible around here. It would be cool just to be able to sell the parts, not even having to install them on the customer&#39;s cars.

I try to be as simple as possible. Sometimes poeple that don&#39;t know me just think I&#39;m some kind of redneck until they hear what I do for a living and it floors them.
