Last night's job had me working a bit as a mechanic's helper, instrumentation tube fighter and electrician. What started out as helping the mechanic change a hydraulic lifter on a compressor engine, lead us to finding an issue with the no flow switch. We had to hit the pistons out with a hammer and they should just push out. Lots of cleaning and sanding, and got them moving again.

Then still had flow issues. So that lead us to finding the oil had gelled and collapsed the filter in the pump. We tore it apart, then had a battle priming it, so we had to tear into the pump and give it a good cleaning. When we got it going, bled the air air out and it was success. What shoulda been about a 2 hour, turned into 8.

Here is the bigger picture of what we were working on.

With the thermo blanket on top, it must be some type of heating process. What’s the equipment do?

Yeah it gets warm up there. Right now it's running about 350°C on the exhaust. It's a V-8, with the cylinder heads up top. It's a real slice of heaven working up there. Lol.. The four cylinders below the vessel on the left are the compressor cylinders.
This one is a booster compressor that feeds to another compressor on the same site. It draws our field pressure down, compresses it and feeds a 4,500 main compressor. The gas and liquids are then sent along their merry way to our plant for processing.

In bed recovering from a bad hamstring tear.

After decades of playing softball, I quit 3 years ago to avoid injuries in my advancing age. I went to the park Monday to get out of the house and catch up with some old teammates. They needed another player and I thought, what's the worst that could happen?

Instinct took over my common sense and I went down like a rock trying to beat out a throw that I had no chance of beating. Two days of using a walker and hopping on one leg. I can shuffle around a bit now but I won't be walking normal for a month.

I had to move out my old Dodge work truck, and my Ranger to clear out all that snow we got today from the laneway.

When I parked the Dodge on the road, I tried to get off the road as much as I could ... I ended up planting it there 🤣

Neighbour came over, he went in the Dodge to steer, and my Ranger pulled it out

I'm going to install a couple of MCC buckets that I 'modified' yesterday.

They are at the local sewer plant and the starters were Eaton A+ series. These are a basic across-the-line starter with a built-in electronic module of some sort.

The plant is about 10 years old and there are about a dozen of failed starters on the shelf. So, being true to my nature, I decided tho not just replace failed components but rather use known reliable parts to make the buckets last a bit longer.

The Eaton buckets now have Allen Bradley NEMA (509s) in them........

remediation data entry. Uhk, I'm so over it

Went puttering out to one of our sites today.

The gate is split so you can step over the bottom 4' in the winter.

Thanks! This is the first site I've built using shopify, and I'm using ChatGPT to help with the information on the site. I'm hoping it will help me build a customer base so I can make some money back on the stuff I've already bought haha

You have the coolest work trucks for sure.
How many men on your crew? I doubt you work those sites alone due to inherent risk of injury/ death if you get injured & stranded.

We always go with at least two. carry a radio, cell phone or satellite phone. In the remote site we have a barrel with two sleeping bags, emergency supplies, extra clothing if we get stranded overnight.
