    Spend my days keeping the body weld shop chugging along in my little corner of the earth. I encounter as much electrical, mechanical, and pneumatic stuff as the average industrial maintenance man, but I mainly have a whole bunch of robots to babysit. You can see all those little boards and touchy electrical things inside controllers stay nice and clean when they're covered in weld dust.

    This is where the Lizzie Borden trial was heard.

    BUQUICK I'm your huckleberry.

    I'm a network engineer for the city-owned electric utility in Nashville, TN. My current role is to design and oversee projects for any electric service in downtown Nashville. That could be a simple 60A service for a parking lot or a spot network in an underground vault for a skyscraper like this one that has has three 4000A services. This vault has four 2,000 kVA transformers stepping the power down from 13,800V to 480v.

    He is a smaller below grade vault under the sidewalk. Have you ever noticed those gratings in the sidewalk and hear a humming sound and wonder what's making that noise? This could be what you hear. Here is a spot network with three 1,000 kVA transformers stepping the primary voltage from 13,800V (the conductors wrapped in white) down to 480V (the black conductors) to power a large government building.

    Both of these are examples of an underground spot network. These have all of the secondary conductors from multiple transformers tied together. So if any transformer fails or has the primary circuit turned off, the others still continue to carry the load and the customer never knows about it. This is an incredibly reliable system but much more expensive to construct.

Can’t believe I’ve been out of school 25 years already!

    This morning I have a sedation in which all remaining lower teeth and a few implants are coming out, denture going right in after.

    These days?
    I take 50 plus year old scattered collected small junk pieces and make it look as close to one new harmonious unit as possible.
    Then occasionally I sell one so I can afford to restore my car .
    OR hopefully pay someone to do the heavy labor on my car!
    Doctor said I could do “sedentary work” though so I do what I can do, there are guys that have it a WHOLE lot worse.
    I love making the ugly, pretty.
    Now if I could just fix that reflection in my mirror lol

    I'm a federal inspector, and work on an array of projects in a near-futile attempt to save US tax payers from fraud, waste, and abuse.
