    Wondering given the time on the forum, why the mods finally decided to honor the "please delete" buffaloed thread.  Oh, well.
    Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win.  Life is too short for light/lite beer!  Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

    We may never know my friend. But in the end, it went the way of the buffalo. I never did figure out what the three posts were even about. Oh well, the plot thickens ;)

    Sounds like one of those flat griddles for breakfast food might be right up your alley.

    I keep toying with the idea of getting one. A good friend of mine Paul Shirley at Shirley Fabrication is tinkering around with a prototype of a extra heavy duty version of a griddle. Its 3/4 thick. I will probably end up with the prototype once he works the bugs out. Time will tell my friend.

    Watching the Deep Blue back into port. The pic was taken from a little over a mile away. She is currently the largest spool vessel in the world and holds all deepwater S & J lay world records. (Shell Stones Mainline 9,500 feet bottom depth). Getting ready to start spooling up our line.

    The technical difficulty of most manufacturing is beyond expectations in my experience.   However, I do agree, offshore drilling is exceptional.

    Most things you can rework.  I imagine fixing something at 10k+ ft is pretty hard.  Imagine the pre-planning involved!  Its not like the sea floor is smooth and you can't exactly send down dozers or graders.

    @Ozzie_Isaac I've been in facilities that produce golf carts, saw blades, sockets, coated sheet metal, Ceramics, and of course, all stages of carpet manufacturing. All were fascinating, had their difficulties, etc... No doubt drilling is way up there on the scale. Also, dangerous.

    I definitely agree. I have been fortunate in my career to be involved in many different types of manufacturing. There is so much that goes into things most people take for granted.

    Most folks take common everyday items for granted. They have no idea of what it actually takes to bring something from concept to completion. Its mind bending what it takes to produce somethings. Gasoline is a great example of this. If you could watch the entire process of fuel production from the upstream side all the way through the downstream side, you would wonder how could gas be less than $10.00 a gallon. Modern state of the art refineries, floating assets and production topsides cost in the billions. Wells, mainlines, SCR's and umbilicals are in the several million range. Yet we still want cheap fuel.

    Watching Paul McCartney's Rockshow on Palladia.  I need to turn to Music more often to heal the venom of my current job.

    Look what got hit just up the road from where I work. A 33 point non typical. You don't see many of these in a life time. It's by far the biggest and most points that I have ever seen in real life.
