Whatever

Did you like that?

 

Oh it was a grunt job. A year later I was an outside operator for 3 years then a control operator for 12 years.
In 2000 we had a steam turbine at full load, lose bearing oil and the escaping hydrogen catch fire and explode. I was burnt by a fire I couldn’t see. There is no visible flame with hydrogen.

 

Can’t like this.

 

Damn.

 

We have had many close calls. Too damn close.

 

After 40 years of mining all over the world I have seen some nightmare stuff. That’s why I worry about the youngins so much.

 

A contractor was setting up a water blaster after dynamiting in the boiler. The very high pressure of the blaster hit his arm and pretty well took everything off the bone from above his elbow to his hand.

 

Damn

 

No problem, it’s been a ride. You just try and stay safe.

 

We have a hydroblasting contractor also clearing built up slurry piping. Seen one of them badgers turn around and come out the pipe into a young mans chest. 17,000psi

 

Yup it’s a crazy amount of pressure. These are set up on rails in the furnace. But inside the furnace it’s 8 stories tall. Those guys are in there with it while is washing the walls.

 

Hell I never thought I would hold three sticks of dynamite off a 10’ piece of pvc stick it though a porthole of the boiler. They would set it off electronically and you don’t feel a thing. You hear it!

 

I'm in my over my head and dont know what the fuck I'm doing at the moment.

just needed to get that off my chest, thank you and carry on

 

I’m pretty much that way all the time

 

Explain it to me... please.

 

Fake it till you make it! Right?

 

I need to figure it out first if your serious ask me tomorrow night

 

It appears to me that the Sandhill Crane is close to extinction!
