Keystone State Thread

Sweet. Glad to hear.

 

Warmest day since October!

 

In my line of work the portajohns don't even register.

 

Do you clean septic tanks?

 

Can you complain and get it fixed? A/C in my Tacoma is ice cold!

 

I was actually thinking of you and your profession as I posted that.

 

What is his profession?!?!

 

I'd imagine a slaughterhouse is much more pleasant than, say, a dead deer on a hot day...

 

You mean like the bowels and intestines of cows and pigs?

 

I'm a slaughterhouse maintenance supervisor.

Among other things. As a supervisor I deal with the entire range of the plant. Our boning room of course is squeaky clean and smells as such. That's where all the stuff that's literally heading out to your table (after a bit further processing) is going through. Antimicrobials are sprayed on everything all day, it's refrigerated, etc.

The kill side of the plant can be a bit rougher, air conditioned but not refrigerated. Over there you get such fun things like busted stomachs, popped abscesses, etc. Of course cleaning stomachs for tripe is literally washing shit out of them, but that's beside the point.

The most fun can be found in the basement where as @98tacoma27 pointed out, we deal with everything that isn't ever bound for anything but a gigantic pressure cooker to make jello etc. Intestines, stomachs, lungs, honesty very little goes to waste. The problem is that the stuff that does go to waste tends to smell badly, and the basement doesn't really get cleaned particularly well. Also handled down there are waste water (blood, shit, etc) and literal shit, which is pumped to a holding tank via hydraulic ramveyors.

 

Who's got a tire guy in the SE PA area?

 

I am not squeamish and I don't barf just from unpleasant smells; I think might be able to handle it! However, being able to handle something isn't the same as wanting to do something. Also, do you ever wear a respirator to somewhat stave off the smell? I can tell you from experience that a fart can get through a standard 3M painting respirator...



So I can't imagine that it would be particularly effective against the various goings on in a slaughterhouse...

 

Pete Grenata at the Fix Autoworks in Doylestown, PA; He's my mechanic and he got me a deal on my Cooper Discoverer AT/3s last year!

 

I got the venmo closed out before any damage could happen. You should still receive your money.

 

What scumbags, specifically?

 

The A/C system in my truck had to be disassembled during the frame replacement, and after the major work involved in replacing the evap core in 2018, I was worried about potential issues with the A/C; The dealer covers all parts and labor for a year after the frame replacement, and I was told that of the A/C wasn't blowing cold come warm season it would be covered. It was like 81 degrees and a bit humid today, and the A/C is definitely working perfectly!

 

I've been using the portable A/C in my bedroom for a few consecutive days now, but I do believe this is the first time we've used the central A/C; Upstairs thermostat needs batteries, and the clocks on both are both behind...
