Hi everyone.. Anyone here a Baseball fan?

I am but the Mets lost today… I will prolly root for the tigers and Indians and brewers.

 

[Wonderer67]

Hello Boat! I'm just excited because the Toronto Blue Jays won first place in the American League East and are now headed to the Playoffs...
Grandkids and Nephews are awesome..

I like the blue jays too.

I don’t like the hankees.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Wow- I see that they did!

Holy hell.

The Mets lost….

Maybe they can sell Wilson to the Ravings.

Buncha jerk-offs.

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.

So one's first thought in that moment would naturally be, "Let me get this on camera"

Hard for me to even imagine 16,000 PSI. I mean, my car tires only take around 35

Right. Although, modern diesel fuel injectors run at over 30,000 PSI.

 

[dkak001]

Another day with not much accomplished. Although, did dig the rock that started popping up in the driveway out. Think beach ball sized rock. Leverage pried it out, but had to start the tractor to haul it away. Little bit of cleaning in the garage, and then some visiting with family in town.

Now it's feeling SO darn late. Time for a shower and maybe bed!

Good night everyone.

I don't recall if "blowout" was what I was seeking, but it was something that sparked during your Oil Rig 101 discussions with this landlubber.

There are some wild video clips from Oil Rigs out there on the tube

The only blowout I've seen was in the Hollywood mvoie, "Deepwater Horizon". Every interview I've seen of a Hollywood director quotes them as saying something to the effect of, "We researched to make this as close to reality as we could". Doesn't mean they achieved their objective. And I have 0 personal knowledge to call out anything contrary to reality.

The bad thing about the Deepwater Horizon blowout was that it found an ignition source....
The rig I was servicing didn't, thank God!

26 years of this and I can't count the "Oh SHIT!" moments I've witnessed.
I've not made a single video of one.

IIRC that ignition source was the diesel generator blew up. If a diesel engine can suck in extra fuel it doesn't stop. It just runs faster, can overspend and potentially blow up. I recall hearing that gas (methane or whatever) enveloped the engine and fed it to the point of destruction, which was the cause of the ignition of the whole thing.

Hello Nightbird! Sorry I missed you, we had a "project meeting."

I... don't think I have one of those laying aroung the house?

No, but any diesel engine (pickup truck, diesel car) you drive by probably has them...

I know how much you love them!

I react to gasoline just as much as I do diesel. Any type of fuel likely

Come to think of it... I don't know if I've ever driven anything diesel. Stick, yes but diesel??? Huh

Dentist last month, optometrist next!

Absolutely.

Runaway diesel BAD!

Okay - everyone knows I just had to look that up.
You'll all be relieved to know that even the most... impressive... dangly bits are safe

Highest jumping fish​

Mako shark

The Isurus oxyrinchus is the world’s fastest shark, recorded at speeds of around 40 kilometres an hour, with bursts of up to 74 kilometres an hour. But more impressively, the mako is also the highest jumping fish, able to breach an astonishing nine metres out of the water!
