CA I’ve seen great opportunities In Idaho, Tennessee, Kansas, Montana & a few other places as well though. When searching use phrases like: Apprentice system operator nerc Dispatcher nerc Operator nerc

I was thinking the same thing. Perfect time, depending on their attributes, to go back to school, get an apprenticeship, or begin a career with skills they may already possess. Start retirement savings now (interest & time are your friends here). Good jobs/careers are out there. You just need...

Finished a day of NERC training. Now have a tri-tip on the Webber before picking up my son from water polo practice

I was beat to the punch on this one 😂

During a widespread blackout that cell phone will be useless. Landlines have reliability on their side. I also prefer to go to an actual checker at the grocery or hardware store. Keeps people employed Technology is all well & good but I’ve seen first hand the degradation of results when...

Well looks like not going back on nights until the 25th is no longer a true statement. Another senior is stuck in India & not able to make it back in time for his shifts. Not official yet but looking at the schedule, I'm the only one available to cover for this coming Friday & Saturday night...

Working a 12hr dayshift today. Don't go back to nights until the 25th. Get some rest.

Pretty much this. The band wasn't bad the bit I listened to but I have a hard time listening to female vocals for very long. Not a fan of live music(prefer studio recordings) or metal(most anyways) either so I'll leave it at that. Variety is what keeps things interesting though.

Working 12hr ot dayshift. Only really dealt with one line trip so far. CAISO seems to have prepared for the eclipse well as it was a big nothing-burger for the PV ramps. Shoot, the daily duck curve evening ramp is steeper than what we just did...

Bought a Yamaha AVR to replace my old B&K AVR507 that finally crapped out in the preamp section last year. When I was connecting it I noticed something funny. It was supposed to be a 100x7 receiver with Class AB amplification (usually 50-65% efficient). Yet total power consumption was only...

I know a utility that pays millions to keep vista running on their SCADA system ;)

For washer/dryer combo, Speed Queen for the win. I’m stuck with a Maytag right now but when it dies, back to Speed Queen like I had in my old house

I’ve been curious about offshore facilities as well

I'm not sure how much stays inside the unit. They did say that the droplets create a "mist" that does cover the ground. I never understood how they were allowed to spill so much oil. At either the combustion or steam turbine facilities I used to work at, that would have been reportable. Then...

Worked with a few former wind turbine guys that transitioned into transmission operations. All stated the gearboxes will leak up to 25 gallons/day per unit. Not an uncommon occurrence.

I don't believe you'll be disappointed with the Amsoil SS. Even though I haven't run it in several years, I ran the SS in a Mazdaspeed6 2.3T & Ford 2.0T DI engines with great results for several years. Different engines & vehicles than your 3.5EB but still turbo DI Ford engines with similar...

Buy Other Stereo Equipment 😂

I recently had to replace my old B&K AVR507 as the preamp section failed & I couldn't find service support for the AV/Preamp section. Replaced with a Yamaha unit. The Yamaha doesn't even make rated power & lacks the dynamics of the B&K. It does support 4K passthrough & has a better DSP for room...

I've never experienced that issue with the rear stab connections failing but it makes sense. Then again 2 of my 3 houses have received "down to the studs" remodels & the 3rd had an obligatory replacement of ancillaries (including all outlets). I did find one of the outlets with an overtightened...
