OM is away again. B2 has coffee duty… and YOU KNOW WHO has to wash the dishes.

His initials are WAT TYLER.

Correction... YOU KNOW WHO has to throw the dirty dishes out the window!

And the window is sticky and needed to be fixed first.


At least I didn't break a nail.


But hey, the Giants won!!!

When I was in the AF washing dishes while pulling KP we would throw dishes on the floor to see how many times they would bounce, We were punch crazy from working 18 hrs. a day for two weeks. I also learned to juggle plates.

A much more valuable skillset than juggling balls!

Funny and this is how old I am. I did some work at Three Mile Island while it was being built. You were close to Columbia if you drove on 30. I lived in and around Lancaster most of my life and somehow stumbled onto the burning of the Wrightsville bridge, I had never heard of it.

Were you aware that Arkansas was going to remain "neutral" in the war of northern aggression, until the Yankee Govt. stole the cannon which were ordered earlier, while they were being shipped to Arkansas?

My dad built the boilers on Three Mile! He worked for Babcock&Wilcox at the time and I remember he was gone all spring and summer! Y’all probably crossed paths. His running joke was, we built the boilers, they didn’t break! It was the computers.

Aye! miss a day and trying to catch up on a dozen pages. We’re prolific posters if nothing else!

Good to see RJ back and so sorry to hear about Lady K. . I’m glad both are on the mend. Prayers going out to you brother

Trying reason with Hurricane Season. Spent a large part of yesterday getting Momma’s generator on line and basically battening down the hatches. She was going to get that home Gen system put in but then her med issues took precedence and so we’re back to the Husky/Subaru 5000 (a damn fine Gen if you can find one).

Upside was I got to spend quality time with my son and granddaughter, and the grey visiting cat who I was excitedly told chased a snake off property the day before!

My gen is waiting, got a pallet of water just in case, and getting some extra food…just in case. All the models have the thing getting close but doing a 90degree turn back out to sea. Fingers crossed!

Morning Z is morning Music today…anytime the wind picks up, a weather eye is cast to sea…

Good on ya Brother! I'm glad you got some quality time with your family!

I am grouchy

You'd make a great Merchant Mariner, as grouchy is a prerequisite!

We have them on boats too and they are called a MSD unit (Marine Sanitation Device) which is very sensitive to bleach, chemicals, and any undigestable materials.
During the Alaska voyage, despite 3 warnings that they were plugging up my MSD with disinfectant wipes, flooding my machinery space with shit, they continued doing so.
The last time I had to unstop it, at lunchtime, I carried them all up and sat them on the galley table, saying "You'll listen now MFrs!"

I thought this was the Oil Rig WC. I mean, it's on the internet so it must be true... right?

I'm not going to say they've never had one like that, but I've never seen one...

Upon further thought, I could definitely see this being true on some rigs in third world countries.

Saw this article and thought I would share.
Could be bunk, but there's no harm in trying as it is drug-free, non-invasive, and fairly easy to try.

I mean it cuts out the middle man.
Could you imagine these on cruise ships?

Yeah - there's, uhm... more out there if you want to look. I stumbled across this while looking for something much more mundane about oil rigs.
Isn't that always the way?

I wish I could find you a good video I saw of a "blowout!"
Once control is lost and thousands of feet of drill pipe are blown out of the hole, erosion happens RAPIDLY, blowing rocks the size of softballs into the sky, which come raining back down.

Believe me, 16,000+ PSI, coming out of a 6-8 inch hole, sounds as if the hounds of hell have been turned loose. I've been there and it automatically kicks one into "fight or flight mode"... with nowhere to go.
