With a near unlimited budget to stock it, would you think any
different? I wouldn't doubt that the vast majority of the first unit
was built entirely on-site, either.

SONGS was the nuke plant 20 miles WNW of me when I lived in Vista.
My friend and I were discussing the shutdown a week ago and both of us
thought it would be fitting to paint the domes like well-tanned pair
of breasts and add a "Welcome to California" sign visible from the
air. What do you think?

I want that 24" disc sander, BTW.

I looked at about a dozen different photos, machine tools and
inspection equipment. They all show signs of being used a lot. So I
imagine that the plant saved a lot of money making repairs in house,
not to mention all the time consuming paperwork that must be involved
making parts for a nuclear plant. It looks like they needed those
machines.

Just as an observation, a _very_ large fraction of the stuff in the
plant doesn't need an "N" stamp; only the relatively small fraction that
is classified as belonging to the safety systems in the nuclear island.
The rest of the plant is simply a conventional steam generating plant
like any other.

There are well-equipped machine shops in every modern fossil and nuclear
steam plant in the country with rare exceptions. How much is done in
house vis a vis outsourcing varies though, by utility with a lot of them
now not keeping but barebones staff between outages with the advent of
deregulation really making a difference in operating for most.

(Observations from nearly 40 yr first 10 w/ reactor vendor engineering
then consulting for primarily electric utilities.)

I wish. So, you're working again? nudge

Ive earned about $6000 in the past 3 week.

Ive received $900. Which covered some of my bills for this month..but
not all.

WIth luck, Ill get a bit more of it this coming week. With luck.

Im hoping I dont have to wait for the auction receipts to be cashed
before I get the rest of my money.

With $6000 on the books..I shouldnt have to borrow gas money go go
south Tuesday. But I did have to do just that earlier today.

Ive also sent out 35 resumes for local companies, most of whom are oil
field related. Ive had one interview with a large well known company,
vis a viz taking over the maintainence department of a large prototype
and machining biz for a oil related firm. So far..Im in the lead. I
was told it pays $57k-$74k + a year, depending on experience. I was
also told I should be in the top pay range, based on experience. The
shop is 42 miles one way from my front door, as opposed to 168 miles
one way of my current service area. So if I get it..I will be making
almost 300% more money and driving about the same miles per week.

Given my truck has (2) burned valves..Ill be able to afford to have it
refurbed, and will be able to get my big van tagged and back on the
road as a "hot spare"...and something I can use to tow the sailboats
to the lake with, without listening to the Ranger puking its guts out
trying to haul one to the lake.

When I get more money from this job, you are at the top of my To Do
List, I assure you. I take care of important stuff first..and you are
Very Important.

Ive got a markzit board up on my wall..listing the things I need to
address when the money comes in..and you are on the top of the list.

You will be receiving a box of Stuff that the UPS driver is going to
curse you for.

Nope...50 years of continuous business is going down the toilet and on
the 10th..someone will flush it.

California is bleeding its manufacturing at an incredible rate.

Gertler was a very good company..and my largest. When they no longer
need me, Im screwed unless I find other work. So Gertler AND Coyote
Engineering (me) are shutting down

http://gertlerind.com/

https://picasaweb.google.com/1040422.../ShopsIveBuilt

The owner has me rebuilding machinery to factory performance/accuracy
specs. They are virtually as good as the day they were put on the
shop floor. Im quite good at what I do.

I hope the auction makes a ****load of money..but Im not holding my
breath. It wont be because the machines are crap like so many others.

play. Then they were loaded up properly with grease/oil and backlash
went to nada...zip, zero.

Certification sheets are to be placed on each machine with my
signiture on each and every one of them.

Ive busted my ass getting them back to mechanical "factory new" specs.

I figured it was something like that. Good for you, and Gertler.
And good luck for both of you.

April 10th is the auction for Gertler Industries. Where Ive been
rebuilding machines for the past 3 + weeks.

http://auctionhq.com/event/gertler/

I wish. So, you're working again? nudge

Ive earned about $6000 in the past 3 week.

Ive received $900. Which covered some of my bills for this month..but
not all.

WIth luck, Ill get a bit more of it this coming week. With luck.

Im hoping I dont have to wait for the auction receipts to be cashed
before I get the rest of my money.

With $6000 on the books..I shouldnt have to borrow gas money go go
south Tuesday. But I did have to do just that earlier today.

Ive also sent out 35 resumes for local companies, most of whom are oil
field related. Ive had one interview with a large well known company,
vis a viz taking over the maintainence department of a large prototype
and machining biz for a oil related firm. So far..Im in the lead. I
was told it pays $57k-$74k + a year, depending on experience. I was
also told I should be in the top pay range, based on experience. The
shop is 42 miles one way from my front door, as opposed to 168 miles
one way of my current service area. So if I get it..I will be making
almost 300% more money and driving about the same miles per week.

Given my truck has (2) burned valves..Ill be able to afford to have it
refurbed, and will be able to get my big van tagged and back on the
road as a "hot spare"...and something I can use to tow the sailboats
to the lake with, without listening to the Ranger puking its guts out
trying to haul one to the lake.

When I get more money from this job, you are at the top of my To Do
List, I assure you. I take care of important stuff first..and you are
Very Important.

Ive got a markzit board up on my wall..listing the things I need to
address when the money comes in..and you are on the top of the list.

You will be receiving a box of Stuff that the UPS driver is going to
curse you for.

I forgot to mention to Gunner to let Gertler know that it's OK to use
his praise (and boasting) in literature to sell product. It should
help people make up their minds to buy Gertler instead of someone
else's refurbs, like Uncle Al's Spray-can Refurb & Noodle Factory.

Gertlers or Okumas in general? Gertlers are 35+ yrs old, but still
cut well enough. Okumas in general are beasts and as shown..will cut
accurately for generations..literally.

Here is a link to the auction..and it will be online as well

http://auctionhq.com/event/gertler/

some photos..poorly done

http://tauberaronsinc.com/events/cnc...sion-job-shop/

and a series of photos I took of some of Gertlers suites after doing
a complete setup 6 yrs ago. They gave me 3 empty buildings and told me
what they needed to stuff in them..and how they wanted work to flow
from machine to machine.
