Sweet[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img] to bad my weekends are taken up[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

 

I think there's a Springfield in just about every state. That's why they never mention a state, I think.

Sounds nice. Not sure when I'll be back out again. This airsoft thing took it's toll on my last weekend. Think I got shin splints or whatever the hell they are called. Shins hurt like a ****. From the running and the cr@ppy jungle boots I have. Need to get something a LOT better. Surplus store had some sand boots in. Much more comfy. But might look weird with the woodland BDUs. Next up will probably be some ACU BDUs. Much better camo pattern. Greens, greys and browns in a digital pattern. Especially for around here.

They actually will have a decent crew there. Still have to move all that concrete around with fork lifts. Well, the finished products. They are cutting down on people by using an overhead rail system for transporting the concrete to the machines to form. At their existing plant, it's all done by a bucket on a forklift. The new way is safer. The old machine requires someone to place plastic rings by hand into the running machine, without a safety switch. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] NOT ME! Normally a machine like that would have a double switch. One for each hand. The new machine (they are bringing over the old unit as well) has a robot that places the plastic ring.

The metals side required a machine operator for each machine anyways. When I was watching them weld up these vault covers after they pull off the finished piece and lay down raw material, they move the finished unit out with an overhead crane. The big suckers that run on I-beams. It's rated for 5 tons to give you an idea. Plus they have, or will have 12 jib cranes (column mounted 1/2 ton units).

We're finally getting a handle on the power. The panels weren't as bad as I thought, well, at least from what we've found so far. But we aren't really working in the section I thought was really bad. Though they keep finding empty 200A switches on the bus duct...worth $1000 each. We're up to 3 now. LOL. Who knows how many 100A and 60A units we'll find before we're done.

Naw. Not mine. But it did involve the use of straps to get it out. So it could have. That sounded like something me and LJ would get ourselves into. LOL

Drove out to Yuma today and I passed Buttercup and Gordon's Well. Shoulda brought a toy with me[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] It's hard to pass those places without riding. I think I will drive out and trash the Burb on the way home tonight[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

I was down at Gordons well for the first time ever last weekend. I am thinking of making it a once a year trip like i do at Pismo. Next time Ive got to get Rescue to go.

 

Where did you park? Down in the dust bowl?

 

You really are crazy[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] about that air soft thing[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] I never did like the military boots. Wore Hi-Tech's when I was working, pretty comfy[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Still wear them when I am out walking a lot.

 

I am guilty for not going[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] If I didn't land a job[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] I might of squeezed it in. You logged quite a few miles in 3 days[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] Of course, I did make it from Chicago to California in 47 hours[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] Wife still lets me hear about it[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] every great once in awhile. Anyways, I did cut down 8 trees over the weekend and have about 25 to go.

Creator, WHEN I make it down that way, I'll let you know[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
