Now considering it's still functioning after the last couple days is amazing. Wed: 7am in the shop, left town at 8:15 and got to Gonzales about 11:15 or so. Got off work close to 6. Back at the jobsite at 6am, half hour lunch, got off at 5 and pulled into the driveway at 8pm. (The 150 handles well all the way to 90 in windy conditions...hey...I didn't realize I was going THAT fast.)
LOL!

I know what you mean, we are working 11 hours days again[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] This time indefinately[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]
See that is rediculous. Bro got home tonight from work. They worked like 6x12 (some did 15 on Wed and 13 yesterday) this week. He was so tired he looked at a breaker panel, closed the door and went over to a wine press to switch the phases. Note my lack of him actually turning OFF the breaker. Got a little 277V action (one leg of a 480V 3phase Wye). You work too much and accidents happen.

I am with you. What gets me is about 3 weeks ago, they laid off 8 guys[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img] 2 from the team I am working on.

That is a disaster in the making.

No kidding. The ex employees could REALLY screw them over. You can't lay off people and then have people working major overtime like that. They should be attempting to recall those guys. We got screwed on something like that. We had to turn over copies of timecards to the labor commissioner because the guys were laid off due to a lack of work. (They should have been fired for being crappy workers. Bad communication between the foreman and office manager.)
