Maggie’s What's Your View II

Bwaahaha. I asked the wife what she thought of that girls ass. My daughter started laughing and said "you got caught!!".Obviously, someone needs to show you where the zoom is on your camera.
I laughed and said that they were checking out the girls and the guys at least I wasn't checking any packages.
You ain't kidding, just got a 2013 F350 XLT Premium DRW CC <85000 miles and was hitting $38000. That's more than I paid for all of the vehicles I've ever owned combined.
Had the district manager come into one of our offices and complain the work room floor was too dark. Replaced the 67 400w high bay HPS lights with 67 24000 lumen led highbays. Now the workers are bitching it's too bright. Before we started the walls looked like they were the color of a brown paper bag, they look off white now.
Oh I'll be there, along with at least two more standing round the hole.
We don't fart, around here without proper safety protocol....as it should be in a hazardous industry like this.
You! Hush yo mouf!
Hell no. I don't even like to think about when we did. Yes we DID. Talk about dangerous. I'd rather had a caged brown bear, that I had to feed every morning, than go down there and open the main steam valve and put that friggin turbine in slow roll. The real sphincter moment was kicking that bitch into high gear and then Cascade. All of the equipment maintained "lovingly" by low paid municipal maintenance.
Ash from our process is highly acidic....and the equipment was "lovingly" cared for by low paid municipal maintenance.....on a "budget".
It was inevitable then, that at some point, a steam tube in the heat exchanger would eventually blow out....and it did in spectacular fashion.
An operator had just walked back in the control room from "blowing down" the tubes, when a tube blew. In 30 seconds it dumped 4 tons of steam on the first floor, quickly filling the building. He had been standing on the first floor under the HE just 90 seconds prior.
A thousand wonders no one was cooked alive.
I was in the control tower across the plant and saw the steam pouring out of the building. Everyone was shitting their pants, I was screaming "we have to account for 2 men pronto!" Before I could even leave the tower I saw both operators running up the road out of the cloud. I told my idiot boss, "That's what a miracle looks like."
No....we don't make steam power no more. This job is dangerous enough without it.
We do make power with our hydro plant on the river.

Picked up two 3200 lumen panels for the garage. I hope 6400 is enough to light it up.
Holy shit! Steam pressure can be nasty. I'm glad there were no fatalities!
My most-convenient 350yd range out my front door. My wife erroneously continues to refer to it as part of her "driveway".
That’s definitely a range for sure with an all weather path to check targets. Nice of you to let her use it though ?
What pressure were you running? I have operated, and maintained "high pressure" boilers for about 40 years, but my high pressure is only 180 psi............
Didn't open the main steam valve and slow roll(warm up) the turbine until HE reached 700-750deg.
It's real hazy cause...hell that's been 20 years. I'm pretty sure it was over 600 psi and 1000+ degree steam.
Best I remember....300-400kw power production.
I'm thinking the proper answer to check for steam leaks is to use someone else to open the valve.
Oh heck no. We were just shaving the peak. Takes 2-3 Megs to run all our equipment.
We used to have a couple Waukesha methane generators that we ran on digester gas. Steam turbine, and the 3 hydro units.
We made some attempts to retrofit it all for emergency power but it was a cluster, incredibly complicated and expensive. Maintenance ate us alive on all that equipment.
The only thing we have left is the hydro.
Our emergency power now, is 3 diesel generators, 2- .5 Meg and a Meg unit.

Two 8 foot fluorescent light fixtures out. Now to put the LED stuff in.
Just converted shop, garage, and kitchen to LED. Wish I'd done it years ago.
Bought a pack just the other day because I haven't had any bacon in at least a year and figured I deserve it! Any place around here where you can still get uncut slab bacon? Just finished restoring an old Hobart slicer and that might be a good use for it.
Not personally aware of any places but have SIL cuts meat for local grocery store, will ask her.
Whiskey flight for date night ??
Nah, that's more of a "you're going to drink all of that?" look.
It's the "I need you sober in about an hour" look ?
Nah, I get all fucked up on date night usually. Wednesday’s. After all these years she managed to finally surprise me. Got me a tsavorite, godfather type, ring for our anniversary. The anniversary is on the 1st of January. Surprising her when we get home; I got her gift today too ?
After an overnight low of 75 F it is already 108 F at 1030 am, moving drinks to the indoor fridge.....
She tasted them?Nope.
I think that’s a “why is my liquor on your side of the table?” look.

Are u familiar with Carmacks Grocery, west of notasulga?
If so, SIL said ask them if they could order you a pork belly.
Will keep looking, but, Carmacks was my first thought. Thought SIL who cuts for a living, might have better choice.
20 years ago, almost any country store would order it for you.
Been together 19 years this coming April ?
I need you sober enough in about an hour ?. FIFY
Expecting 118 F today...
I couldn’t do that kinda heat anymore. Lived in Arizona for a couple years and seen 118-120, it was hell.
Its 42 and raining here.
