New England B.S. Thread

a prep lab preparing samples for analysis...environmental lab. The prep process doesn't require low temperatures. You actually HEAT everything - cook it with different reagents to extract the target substances - and then analyze it on an instrument in an air conditioned room...But because the lab was full of vent hoods the air would turn over every 18 minutes in the entire prep area so the A/C unit couldn't handle replacing that volume of air....
Now we have A/C everywhere..have for years.

 

The general floor area is not, but the control rooms / wet labs are. So inevitably when something goes wrong you're on a ladder in a corner sweating to death.

 

Thank you for my edification!

 

One nice thing when you deal with aerospace machining, a/c everywhere set to 69-70 +/- 1° typically. Heating up and cooling of metal can really sway a part that is tight tolerance

 

what are you planning?

 

anyone interested in a NMW or New England excursion? somewhere in september 15-24th? I want to take the wife on a little adventure, and have a week of vaacation scheduled for that week, no real plans as of yet. just in search of some fun..

 

I wish I could but I just started a new job. Good luck with it and have fun

 

Wow, this sounds like an amazing time!

 

My wife and I are renting a beach house in CT this weekend with two other couples. We plan on trying to do some fishing off long island sound. I haven't been salt water fishing since I was a kid. Is there anything biting this time of year or specific places anyone would recommend? We have a couple kayaks to get out on the water and drop our bait out further during shore fishing.

 

Just made me reminisce about my grandparents old house in north Stamford.. fishing trail rd. at the southern end they had a pond out front, my sister and I used to take the row boat out, and fish (usually never caught anything).. sorry Grandma passed away 2 weeks ago..

theres plenty of ponds, and streams out there, but the waterfronts there are a ton of nice parks.. mostly saltwater..

 

Let’s try this again... Maybe it’ll actually get to MA this time

 

Porgy (Scup) are plentiful, cooperative and very tasty. Found on rock structure in the Sound. Fish on the bottom with a heavy freshwater rod and reel. Bait shops sell pre tied rigs. For bait, sand worm, squid or Gulp. In Connecticut you need a $10 saltwater license.

 

Yo Rob, how's the new job going?

 

I did a bday in Burlington ma I think

 

I broke down 5 days ago.. they had a $20 off special pomotion,,, I bought the adventure pack...

have been wanting one ever since coming back stinking, and wishing I had an easier way to clean my food prep when running water is not available, as well as a quick shower when I am out for more than a few days...

have to do a long term review.. i like that it is fairly compact, runs for up to 5 minutes, and can be refilled on the trail from my jerry cans.. filling this, and my jerry can (5.83 gallons to fill line,, if I overfill it...6) gives me 6 +2 =8 gallons of water.. I may get another jerry can for water... I typically bring a case of bottled water for drinking..

What it feels like driving around in my work over shitty roads

 

Id be VERY interested in how this works put for you. For the same reasons....

 

Storms came through tonight and the most amazing thing happened afterwards.........anyone ever seen a "red rainbow " before? A first for me......

 

It's going great so far. Thanks for asking!
