  • Look at this Redrocks

    Bro, this is what I walk up on every day ! The submersible 5 hp 460 V 3 phase motor had deadheaded from frozen pipes and kilt it. Wires hanging loose from meter base to panel, a transformer powered 115 V socket hanging out of the gang box. Etc etc. Anyway I ran the motor and pulled the fuses . I called the man and told him it was to dangerous to heat up. I also told him I’d fix it but they would have to pull the legs on the transformers. He called me three days later and told me he was gonna fire it up.. That’s why I have pics and dates of the situation ! CYA ! JJ

      The co-op is suppose to do inspections, if it does not pass mustard they are suppose to kill feed...I could call it in but then I’d be the bad guy.

    I just read a story on the news that was removed. Grand Canyon museum story. It seems that in the museum, there was a bucket. In the bucket were rocks. Here is the problem. The rocks were radioactive ! From 2000-2002 if you were doing the tour, a adult received 400x to many rems. A child received 4000x to many rems... Is that not KEWL ???

Electrical maintenance involved.. and when there was no other work in area I took the call...crazy and scary work ...even after they started shutting plant down slowly it was over 100 degrees in reactor building..where we hadda do much electrical maintenance. On motors with space suits on.......but I think I'm ok now ...still got some hair left at 65 hahaha

    Don’t laugh gentleman .... when we put in our well a couple of years ago I helped dig all the lines for the electrical lines to be under ground . I covered all the wires and made sure they were glued with the horrible purple stuff . It’s beautiful these little hands could get in the small spots . Found a killer turtle back scrapper ( bonus ) Now a nice block house to encase all this and I’ll be happy . One lightening strike around that and it will fry as well . I had a new water heater that a lightening bolt fried the heating element pulsing through the cabin and poped the circuit breakers . Can’t poat but figured it out from a blog .
    We have an exposed electrical box like that to . Covered up all those line but they are sitting out it’s stupid .
    Radiation !!! Wayne will not work on a nuclear plant .
