Oofta. And So.
At my job it's either terror or boredom. Tonight, it's boredom. 10 hrs of web surfing on my phone.....punctuated by a few emails and notes in some tickets. If I could only sleep sitting up.....
Ha Ha!!!
Stupid PITA's...
New Router and WAP - Completed!
Automatic Torch Height Control for the CNC Plasma - Ready to implement on the table!
Huge project proposal - Completed, quoted, and sent off!
All after 8 hours on a tower going to 200' and then back and forth replacing 7/8" heliax that some damn rednecks shot... Nothing like trying to shoot the lights on a tower, and hitting 3x $1500 RF cables and 2x $200 arial Cat6 cables... Not to mention lost production revenue...

Buncha lead and copper from the jacket still in the coax chunk...
Long ass day, but this is what happens when my wife goes on a trip. No sleep, lots of little projects done at night, etc...
G'night y'all!
This whole working night thing is for the birds.
Stuck having to regulate the pressure on a pipeline with two manual valves until my relief comes at 7:00 a.m.
Yeah, that would be awesome.
It's kind of a special circumstance. We seem to have a leak so the powers that be want the pressure reduced until it can be fixed in the morning. It's a line feeding a large power plant so the flow is constantly changing depending on the load at the power plant. I kind of have to constantly monitor the pressure. If it goes up I have to pinch the valve back and if it starts dropping I have to open it up a bit.
This kind of monkey work normally isn't part of my job description but we have three guys out on vacation this week so we're kind of short handed.
I'm basically working throughout the night babysitting this thing and I'll just take the day off tomorrow when I should be working my normal shift. I have some errands to run tomorrow anyways so this will just make it easier.
