Lol...indeed.

Actually, Ive been doing a new Project. Moving a machine shop 10
miles and installing it in a 32,000 sqf building that had all of its
wire stolen in the past year.

Big..Big CNC lathes and so forth. Lots of 50 hp motors some distance
from the main distro panel.

All 480vts, 3ph. So far, Ive installed about 1200' of 2" EMT alone,
and close to 3000 lbs of 2/0 wire. Got the big CNCs powered up today,
now Im starting on the ancilary machines, band saws, shears, press
brakes

Some of the lathes have 20" spindle bores..yes...nearly 2 Feet through
the headstock.....

Rush job, shrug...been on it for 2 weeks, working 16-20 hrs a day. Got
a sleeping bag in my new (to me, posted about it earlier) work van,
eating takeout or fast food. Only getting back to the RV every other
day or so to shower. Not been to my home up north for almost 3 weeks.

I should be finishing the big stuff by mid week, then doing the 110vt
stuff, then chasing air leaks. The new Kiaser screw compressor works
great (and damn its quiet), but am losing about 15 lbs every 40
seconds through the very elderly air piping that was left behind.

Ill have a nice Kellog piston compressor available for surplus sale in
a week or two, the second one Ill be installing as a backup to the
screw compressor.

Im getting a bit long in the tooth for this...need my beauty
sleep...lol. But Im working the asses off a couple of helpers, who are
having a hard time keeping up with the "old guy"

Makes me feel good that Ive "still got it". Just not quite as much as
I did as a pup.
