Houston area (along with DB's not from Houston) BS thread

Pierce Marsh is badass for skinny water fly fishing for reds

 

hah, i was gonna say, that facility looks familiar. That's a really cool place to go explore if you haven't already.

 

I was going to leave out the location to see if you'd call it right. I'm going down there to watch them set the module on the deck.

 

you probably aren't allowed to say, but what rig is it going on? we just had a platform sail out a couple of weeks ago, and have another one soon to leave. i think there are 2 more in progress that still have a ways to go.

you know how many cranes they are using to lift it? without knowing specs, that looks like a 6ish lift. just behind it, you can see the anchor points, and cable drums for out heavy lifting device. that thing is impressive

 

I'm not under any orders to not talk about it. The client is LLOG and the platform is MC254A. The sister platform is Who-Dat. I can't remember the name for mine off the top of my head. I'll post pictures of the partial topsides tomorrow when I get to the office.

My module is designed for a single crane lift, but as you know they use multiple crawlers. It really sketches me out since the yard does their own lift analysis. They built my module upside down and flipped the damn thing. Once the yard starts changing stuff like that I was my hands of it. If it fails when you flip it, it's not on me.

If we had known in the beginning that multiple crawlers were going to be used we would have designed the lift differently. I designed it for a single point offshore lift. Oh well. I can't wait to get down to the yard and see it in person.

 

Hmmm

 

i wouldn't worry about it. the crane engineers down there are rockstars. they preplan every inch that each crane moves, and in what order. can't remember the exact number, but the most they ever used was in the 12-14 crane range i believe. if you get to see the lift, you'll have a blast. it's like a mixture of heavy machinery and ballet.

 

just take a 1/4'' drill bit through the drywall, and put your pecker in it.....hopefully you get the right common wall

Im so glad my brothers and sisters lost their lives for this. Not 7 years later. I'm glad I was blown up and shot at and saw all the horrendous things I saw just to see these f a g g o t s take back over the cities that cost so much.

 

Win.

 

U find the tranny?

 

Well today was a good day. Got the record player and the CD player all set up. Tested the record player with frank zappa and it was a success.

 

Did she shock you with science?

 

Im starting to get what the Vietnam vets were talking about. .. ww1. Ww2. Korea. Easily defined wars. Anything after is nothing but corporate America trying to get a buck.

 

No but she did have that camarillo brillo
