Cap City Build & BS AF

I'm just gonna take your word for it.... and I'll let you know when and if I change my mind....

 

Okay, gentlemen. I must depart. I've got some wrenching to do in a few hours and I should probably sleep first. I love you all, but Kevin, tonight, you're a badass.

You should probably go sleep off that wine.

 

Night @JayMac

 

Apparently, in my haste to keep up in this goddam thread, I missed this post.

Then clearly, you haven't had a good wine yet.

Here's the other thing: my wife's been working in the wine industry since she was 18, and I've also been immersed in it since then. There are good wine's, and terrible wine's. Good cheap wines, and terrible expensive wines. Really good expensive wines, and terrible cheap wines. The spectrum is SO BROAD that one cannot simply rule out the whole based on a few experiences. It takes time to find the one you like. But once you find it, you'll start branching out and appreciating all the others.

 

Just gotta keep an open mind to it. Sometimes it's an acquired taste, other times you just find that one that opens the door to a while new world.

DAFUQ!?!?!?!?





.......ok, I guess I'll talk to y'all whenever I wake up tomorrow.

G'night @JayMac

 

Thanks for stayin' up this late @Tractorman and @Silver02Taco!!!

 

I'm working a 16 hour shift so I had too!

 

What do you do!? Last time I pulled a shift like that was when i worked security! Did 2 shifts in a row.

 

Power plant, 8 boilers and 4 steam turbines, 2 jets and a gas turbine.

 

Well thanks!

 

Damn!!!! That's a lot of machinery!

 

You're Maintenance crew must be top-notch!!!

 

Yup there is only 4 guys and me on a crew. We usually don't run it all at the same time. It's what ever the grid is calling for. I've been here 18 years and now the foreman. We also provide steam to manufacturing company's around us.

 

WOAH!!! So, first off, my first engineering job was a Georgia-Pacific in their box plant I. Modesto CA. Now I work for one of the wood manufacturing companies that Weyerhauser used to own! Wow, this world is friggin' small!!!

 

Drunk whatever

Grammar
Nazi is off the clock right now.....

 

We don't have any maintenance here at night we just fix things on the fly. 2 of the boilers are coal burning. All of the rest can be natural gas or diesel fired. The two jets are also diesel.

 

At our plant, we know have 1 boiler that's usually dust-fed (from the wood we sand down) otherwise it's also natural gas. Funny that dust burns hotter than gas....

 

Yup, we used to mix shredded tires with coal and burn that so the slag which was like lava coming through the hole in the bottom of the boiler would break when it hit the slag tank of water. This is a pretty old plant built in the early 30's.

 

I definitely read that as "I'm going to say he's hot!"
Hence the meme....

I like your style. I've got one black now, and one white one on the way.

Like some Special Olympics kid about to cross the finish line......
