What’s going on guys….

Pretty much been living the dream all summer. I got an internship at a place in Amsterdam, NY, called Power and Composite Technologies. It is a global company, with plants in the US, Hungary, and China, that specializes in power generation plant components, but we also do things for the medical field, the oil industry, just to name a few. Being one of only a handful of companies in the world certified to make the parts we build, its actually pretty interesting stuff. We build the majority of the nonmetallic components in the massive generators that power cities all over the world. We also work with GE in the R&D department and I’ve been able to work on some cool projects with that. It’s a good mix of sitting behind a desk doing engineering type stuff, but I’m also out on the shop floor a lot overseeing projects, fixing problems, running tests, I have even designed a few new machines and machine parts. All in all I enjoy it, can’t complain.

Outside of work, which pretty much takes up the whole day, I’ve been rehabbing my shoulder and recently started training again. Just tough when you go from DB benching with 110lb dumbbells to like 15 pounders…..  But that’s rehab for ya I guess. Just looking forward to getting back to 100% and crushing workouts again.

When I’m not working or training, which is basically never, I’ve been able to get out and hike a few times, getting my motorcycle license this weekend, and maybe coming back to school with a bike if I find the right one. Then I just hang out with the girlfriend and try to catch up on sleep every once in a while. Every day is just another day in paradise for me.

See you guys in a few weeks
