Yesterday was the 18th B-Day of the Blog. If it were a person, it would now be old enough to vote or (if male) go die on behalf of some other country.
Coincidentally stoner millenials celebrate 4-20 day because "Dude Weed LMAO". Also coincidentally it was the birthday of a famous German who was a dictator in the 1930's and early 40's. Who knew?
The blog had a hiatus period for a few years, but I got back to it eventually. Things have slowed down a bit since I picked up this day shift gig last October - there are no longer large stretches of back-shift to ponder and process thoughts for a long blog post. It's possible that I'll be able to return to that more productive and informative level of posting, but not right now.
There were a couple of earlier posts about this year's Steam Turbine Major Outage that showed some damage to the turbine buckets and diaphragms (rotating and stationary blades). I decided that it would be a good idea to revert those posts to "draft", because there will probably be some insurance claims and attorneys will be getting involved in the money side of things. It seems wise at this time to wait until the legal fallout is settled before putting that sort of thing out on the internet. No need to 'retire' before I'm really ready to retire :)
Thanks for staying tuned, and hopefully I'll have some interesting tidbits to share before long!
