South Carolina BS thread under new MANAGEMENT and lives in SC

Haha yup. Y'all staying busy?

 

OMG ! i so didn’t wanna get up this morning, opened the windows about midnight and th coolness outside was AWESOME !

56° currently finally a comfortable temp !

 

Oh it felt great up here this morning too! 62 and breezy!

 

Morning!

Starting a longer weekend of camping, now!

 

Yeah we have been. Cleared up now. Chomping at the bit to leave out of town to make big money.

 

There's got to be plenty of areas that need the help right now. I guess that's up to y'all co-op though

 

Morning!

Is that... is that finally some cool, fall air I'm feeling!?

 

Where do you work, if you don't mind me asking?

 

The GD light is GREEN! put your phone down and GO!

sorry still have some leftover road rage from my drive into work this morning.

I am assuming you are in the turn lane or at least i hope you are.

 

Dropped and lubed up both driveshafts last night. My slip joint boot had slid down and exposed the splines, and I had been hearing a grindy sound on deceleration since I lifted the truck. I guess that is pretty common with the reg cabs and their one piece drive shafts.

The sound is reduced, but is still there. I think the next step is maybe a driveshaft spacer that will allow for more of the splines to be engaged instead of being stretched out after the lift.

Some folks had luck flipping the driveshaft around, but I don't know how I feel about having the slip joint and boot so exposed.

Greasing was a good thing to do anyway with all this water everywhere. Never hurts!

 

Greasing joints is a good way to help find/narrow down noises and preventative maintenance never hurts!

 

Yeah they haven’t told us anything yet. I’m starting to think they ain’t gonna let us go anywhere.

 

I can't imagine the cleanup down in the panhandle. Just bulldosers pushing debris everywhere. What a mess to have to try to untangle.

Blackriver Co-op was on top of it yesterday. The twig that fell on my transformer blew the fuse for my whole "neighborhood"(4 or 5 houses). I am the terminal service for my line, and the twig blew the fuse all the way at the road. We were back up and running in two hours or so. The tech said there were only 1000 outages for their co-op.

 

I'm on a co-op in Kershaw county. From my understanding most of the main lines are buried so it's very very rare for me to lose power.

 

That is something I have not seen in my area.

 

General Electric Turbine facility.
Everyone is switching to renewables and apparently we are slow to catch on.
250 units built in 2001.
12 units built in 2018.

 

Just watched a third gen back into a gas station pole at like 5 mph. Happened before I could honk to warn him.

He drove away like nothing happened, didn’t even get out. Hope it wasn’t any of you! If it was, probably better to not claim it haha

 

Friday!!!
Fall weather!!!

 

Looks good! Makes me wanna sell my Tacoma and get a 4 runner even more now

 

TGIFall!

Just sat outside for lunch and It's wonderful.
