No rain in the upstate yet but temps dropped.
It was actually a bit nipply yesterday morning when I clocked out.

 

Catching up on Ballers and drinking beer...



Sun actually came out today. Finished with a bit over 8" of total rain.

 

I like it when the fire alarm goes off by itself.
My job to see if there is a actual fire

 

Glad y'all stayed dry. We picked up just over 29" and I was sweating bullets with no flood insurance. Cannot believe what's happening in Houston in addition to the original hurricane damage.

 

I think we are getting rain the rest of the week starting tonight. Nothing compared to what ya'll got hit with. My unit leader is some where out there with FEMA. I'm hoping everyone stays safe and dry.

 

Not a 1/2hr. after this post a trouble came in on the firepanel that I had to go check

 

In for 3 of 4. I'm finally in night mode.

 

Flipping schedule tonight. More catching up on Ballers right now.

 

I'll be flippin Thursday myself...long change time.

 

same here, 5 hours left

 

I just feel like writing. Got all my chores done for the next hour or until the next issue comes up.

In 2015, the frame on my 1998 rusted in half. I was lifting it on the hoist. I knew my frame was getting bad, but being a skilled, amateur fabricator, I was able get another 100k out of the truck. 298,235miles . I so wanted that 300k mark.

Anyways, getting ready to do an oil change. While lifting the truck, I always watch the gap between the cab and the bed. I was just about to get the wheels off the ground and I saw the gap jump open! Fuck! she finally gave up the ghost. I lowered it back to the ground, texted the wife, "Honey, this truck is never going on the road again". We were preparing for the day, so we just had a moment of silence and moved on to hunting for the replacement vehicle.

The truck was a great running truck. 300,000 miles and never even a checkl engine light. I figured the drive train was savable...

Shit! just got called out. To be cont.

 

Can't complain getting 19-20 years out of a truck...

 

Truck goes in today for a frame inspection, based on my own visual im expecting it to fail as theres a fairly decent hole on the passenger side, and theres other spots that are getting thin.

 

A 2007?

 

backing up my stuff and getting ready to leave and..............................The phone rings and i am informed that one of my guys ran off the road and wrecked UGH!!!! More paperwork

 

well I'm new to the graveyard just thought I'd see whats going on this morning.

Decided to get an on-campus job this semester so here I am. I get paid to do homework now.

 

welcome

 

yup. welcome to the rust belt. and im pretty religious about spraying off the underside regularly when theres salt on the road. this picture is the main issue.

 

That's bad! I don't know how they won't cover you.
