prob here too chuck- ill take the heat though

 

gonna go back inside now.

 

Yeah same here. We're watching the Tropics carefully at the moment. Three waves are moving west.

 

It's not as bad as it could be. The circles show where my desk is and where I usually park. The semis out front give you an idea the size of this place. Right now we are sitting right at 3 million square feet. Those three identical buildings with the stacks are the paper machines. Building is built with and around the machine. There's a fourth being built now in that empty spot. There will be more parking over there when the construction is done.

The slender building near upper left is our print and packaging plant. They make our clear, printed plastic wrap. There's a spot there for another planned building too.

The far upper left is an Electrolux refrigerator plant. There's some rough, very hot jobs over there from what I hear. In the woods over to the right of this pic are two Michelin plants, one of which is basically idle because of a major screw up on their part.

 

I had to go buy new soap for the new washer and dryer it requires that HE stuff :{

Came home to the power company messing with the neighbors power feed. Not sure what happened yet.

 

Yeah I posted that a day or 2 ago same here. Except red furry hail used blower and moved about a thousand of them out of the driveway an hour ago.

When they switched from the old AT&T towers to the Verizon 3G I had to pay for an upgraded module. Pissed me off but still worth it when it gets cold enough.

Nice picture, I can almost feel the heat and humidty walking across the pavement. I usually was coming out of a data center where it was in the 60's. At first it felt good but didn't take long for the sweat to start running.

The Michelin tractor trailer retread plant had some rather major issues when I was there and gave me an opportunity to do some work for them. That was based on legal compliance issues however.

 

Apparently both main power leads to mine and the neighbors place had bare spots. This guy is gettin'er done. Phew!

 

Evening everyone

I know the feeling....

 

You'd have to pack a lunch just to walk across that place!

 

Good evening everyone! Trying to catch up on service work on the newer truck as the service records aren't very complete. At 54k miles I'm catching up to a 60k service. The dealer where I got it had changed the oil and done the air filter and cabin air filter so I did plugs, cleaned the MAF sensor, and changed the PCV valve.
I'm selling a bunch of stuff cleaning out the garage to put the money toward a lift. The LCE header and AFE drop in filter from the 2.7 are going also

 

diffs and tranny fluid next?

 

Apparently from what I'm being told I'll be needing to do the diff's, tranny, and t-case Oh well it'll be a fresh start all around. My wallet will have to recover a little first before I buy all that

 

Having no power isn't fun. Glad the Taco came in handy during that brutal storm you experienced. Hope your doing good Anthony.

That's all good Maintenance to do, and you saved a bunch of labor costs doing it yourself.

 

May be interested....

 

No!!!

The machines are rated well on several sites so went with them as they had the least amount of electronics. I do not care that manufacturers are offering 10 year warranties on the electronics if it breaks and you are waiting for however long for the parts and then have to pay to install them. These ones I can replace most any part just hope it is not as many repairs as I had to make to the Maytags that just left. The washer has a real agitator a lot of the ones I looked at did not though, the ones with out are rated to be easier on the clothes everything else I could find said they were also not getting the clothes as clean. So catch 22 there wash more cost more in supplies and electric or replace clothes sooner etc. Time will tell if the reviews were right . Only thing I really did not want was the high efficiency stuff but could not get away from It on the models that were rated as well as these. I have seen a lot of stories on the HE machines having issues gumming up etc I think it was mainly front loaders but figured why risk it .
