What are you doing right now??

[Sld1959]

Going into hour 14 at work.

My relief called in, and nobody wants to answer their phones, so…I’m stuck for at least another 5 hours, but I’ll probably do 7 and leave at 3; a 20 hour day is long enough…already told them I’m not pulling a full double (24 hours).

I’ll still get paid for my shift tonight, too, so…work 20, get paid for 40. Not bad.

Really don’t need the stress right now, but we just fired up to go for the harvest season…

And, I’m gonna be out for a few weeks dealing with some medical stuff (not mine), so this just is the cherry on top.

My….Fudgeometer…readeth empty.

I know I’m gonna regret this…but coffee ain’t cutting it.

Be careful driving home. The only energy drink I ever cared for was an old orange Monster slurpee 7-11. Wife got me one when she went there once and that was it, dang that thing was good, had one practically every day, until they stopped making it. Last time I ran in to 7-11 too lol.

At 3:00, I’ll just be hitting 24 hours of being up...I’m usually good until I hit about 28.

Hope all goes well with the medical issue!

Hi,

Nothing good.

Dug up an old leaky steel service. Turns out the tee for the house across the street is in the same hole and also leaking. These are old bolt on tees. So instead of simply boring in one new service I need to bore two in and I need these bolt on tees pinned ( removed and the tap holes pinned and welded shut) and two new weld on tees welded on. Yesterday was a long day and today will be too.

No this is not me, it’s a laborer cleaning and lubing these old tees so they come off easier today.

Wow, that's some real manly work right there. What kind of precautions do you take when welding on gas lines? Do you have to shut off the neighborhood? I can only imagine the chaos that could ensue with a welder and a gas main. Take care.


Thank you for your indulgence ,
