GraveYard Shift BS

That's pretty cool Oury!

 

Thank you! I love filming

 

How's it going tonight? Been running all night. Installed a big DC motor that promptly ran in reverse on power up I didn't take it out, wires were clearly marked. Decided the reman shop probably reversed the main power leads. Reversed those two leads and it ran as designed

Nice time lapse Oury.

More power to the cool old dude!

Busy for me tonight too, but mainly because we're having network connectivity problems ... made everything take about 3 times as long. Oh well, it passed some time despite being incredibly frustrating.

I expect most are home sleeping, I hope soundly, by now. Just thought I'd drop by.

 

Thanks !!!

 

How's everybody doing? Its Friday

 

I'm like Tony the Tiger over here, its grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrerrreeeereereereeraaaawwwwrrrrreattt.

10 days down, 2 more to go for my weekend finally!

 

Good morning Rob, doing good and yourself?

 

Good right now. Much better in about 5hr. Wife and I are going to spend the day tomorrow going to some of the various events going on this weekend

 

Sounds good, I have 4 more hours this morning then I have another shift to go before my weekend off starts, they don't get it here that friday night is really sat. Morning our weekend off is a sat and sun night off.

 

Here too. 7 hrs left in this shift, then work Friday night into my 3 day break. Off Sat morning 'til Tue night. I'm off every Sun & Mon night, plus every other Sat night. Had leave planned for Tue and Wed to go fishing from the Zodiac in Cook Inlet. Doesn't look like the weather (sea state) is going to cooperate though. 15 knot winds with 3 to 4 foot seas is a little too rough for these: (pic from Copper River trip early June)

 

We start our week Sun nite at 10:00 (1hr early) so the first hour pays double time Then the rest of the week is 11-7, all O.T. is voluntary, so no surprises when you're getting ready to go home

 

I'm off every other weekend here and then off one day during the week, like this week I was off tues. Night then work wed.,thurs.,fri. Off the weekend then work mon, tunes, wed. Off thurs. Then do fri.,sat.,sun.,mon. Night and it starts all over againschedule has been the same for 7 yrs now lol I don't even get a schedule anymore I just show up for work it seems lol

 

We get paid a shift and weekend differential so I get the extra $ for the weekend diff fri night starting at 12. Would just like to have a sat. Morning off every now and then lol

 

That seems like a confusing shift pattern, but I think I get it. When you're off Tue night, you're also off Sat/Sun night. Then you're off Thu and work the weekend. Rinse and repeat.

 

We charter a boat on lake Michigan once a year. Leave Port Washington before sunup usually done before noon. First time on that trip I took Dramamine, I won't do that again I just watch the horizon and I'm fine

 

Yeah, I usually try to tough it out and watch the horizon. Dramamine just makes me too sleepy and doesn't seem to make much difference. We've taken the zodiac (ours is actually an Achilles) out in 4 foot seas; it can be done, but it's very wet and not very fun. Last time our anchor hung so bad we almost didn't get it back, and when we did it was bent up pretty bad. Decided our "enjoyable" weather limit was 10 knots of wind and 2 ft seas.

 

You got it

Gentlemen y'all have a great day and sleep well

 

I start 14 days off today.....

 

must be nice
