    When I was a child our preachers name was Richard White. Richard preferred to go by Dick, so the phone book listing was White, Dick. Always made my pre-teen self chuckle when I perused the phone book.

    I fixed your mom’s plumbing last night.

    I wish. Northeast Texas/Southwest Arkansas. Nimble is awesome. I had to beg them to connect our servers to Infosight. I’ve gotten calls from the support folks at Infosight before I ever knew I had an issue.

    It was mentioned before, but what’s your background? We lost a process control engineer recently and we are thinking about replacing him with someone with a strong OT/IT background. We would want someone who is proficient in VMWare, Veeam, network configuration, ESXi, familiar with Nimble storage and HP server hardware. This is on the process control side of the house, so we would be looking for someone who understands the urgency when we have issues and willing to jump in and help. You would get to work directly with me everyday, so there is that bonus. Let me know if this is something that fits or if you have questions.

    Does this mean we are finally getting football bats?

    We haven’t been to Naamans since they moved across the road. I’ve heard good things about their entire menu.

    My wife had her first Covid clinic at her pharmacy today. She only did 10 patients and had 1 no show but was able to vaccinate someone who came with another person signed up for the vaccine. The paperwork sounds like it’s a pain in the ass but she’s happy to get the first round done. She did mention that when they shipped her vaccine, they sent the first and second doses for everyone. I thought that was a bit odd with the chances of some idiot fucking up and taking it out of the freezer, but at least she doesn’t have to worry about getting it and getting people scheduled.

    Yea, I know. As a process control engineer, stupidity in controls drives me crazy. My rant was in no way aimed at you.

    I just wanted to say that the guy who designed the overflow switch to fail in a non-tripped position on a loss of power is a fucking idiot. You always design for your safeties to fail in the safest/most protective manner possible. A loss of power to the overflow should have isolated the tank from anything else being added just like a true overflow condition would. Not allow the fucking idiots in the control room to continue to pour the water to it oblivious as usual with their feet up on the fucking desk.

    I drove from LA to Tyler once and it was awful. Every fucking mile was a beating. Also drove from East Texas to Vegas. That was just about as bad. I couldn’t imagine driving that much further.

    Put HEB and Chick-Fil-A together and everyone would have electricity, food, water and a covid vaccine by now.

    I thought this thread was about Jeff Fisher and Vince Young. Carry on.

    No problem. I wouldn’t have said shit if we were, I would’ve kept my mouth shut. I’m not trying to get neg-bombed [emoji23]

    We are not a power generation business. We generate our own power and could put it back on the grid, but that’s not our business.

    Spot on. That was me that brought this up earlier. We committed last Friday for a specific volume of gas expecting the price to be in the $30/unit range. We were notified after the commitment that the price is $356/unit, but at that point we’re committed whether we use the gas or not. So basically we said Friday that we will purchase 20 units of gas Saturday, Sunday & Monday. When they told us the pricing it was to late, we were in. That’s why we shut the fuck down Monday morning and are still down. We’re waiting on pricing for this weekend to decide if we stay down through the weekend or not. In the mean time do you care to guess how much shit has frozen and busted with everything being down? FM Global hates this shit.

    I think there is a poster here whose wife is a pharmacist with CVS if I’m not mistaken. Maybe they will see this and chime in. Maybe it was JimmyJazz?

    Ah, ok. I don’t venture over there often so I’ll check it out. Thanks.

    I can’t remember what the hour count was on it. It can’t be that high. If I’m remember correctly you are close to us. We used Nantz Electric and they did a good job for us. They coordinated with the electric and gas folks (meter needed to be changed out for a larger one). I dealt with them and they handled everything else.

    It quit one day when the power went out. I had the switch ready for them to install when they came out. The manual is pretty good about having all the part numbers and I’ve been able to find everything thus far.

    This was quoted in his post. I didn’t read the full release but this certainly reads the way he described it in the tweet.

    I’m not really sure how that side of it works. I’m pretty sure that we have to tell them daily what our usage for the next day will be and then they give us the price. From my minimal understanding, the price for Friday sets the price for the weekend. When we told them on Friday what we would use the next two days they came back with 356 per unit. That locked our price in for the weekend. On Monday the decision was made to shut all but one boiler down and get gas usage as low as possible until the price comes back down. It’s absolutely insane, but when your the only provider you can do whatever you want.

    Quick comment on this. At the facility I work at our gas price per unit went from 30 to 356 sometime last Friday evening. Our normal daily gas cost is somewhere in the neighborhood of 200k/day. With the rate increase, our gas cost per day went to right around 2.6 million/day. The decision was made on Monday that it was cheaper for us to shutdown than it was to pay the 2.4 million increase in gas cost. I can absolutely see why some facilities would chose to shutdown instead of paying these insane gas prices. They priced the gas so high that people can’t afford to continue to run until the weather warms up and the gas prices go down.

    We have a 22KW Generac with auto transfer switch that runs on natural gas. It was right at $8500 installed. I’ve had the oil pressure switch go out and had to replace the battery and terminals, but otherwise it’s been good. The only upgrade I made when we bought it was had them install copper cable from the generator to the switch instead of aluminum since it was going to run across the house. I’m not in Houston so I can’t recommend a dealer.
