Good morning Ray hope all is well with you today buddy
Good Evening Todd. Just back from the church as today is senior food box pickup . Only 25 people. Couldn't get in the front double doors of the church as the ice built up on the sidewalk from the snow melting on the roof. Had to chip it clear and use deicer. Seems to be a yearly problem. Used a roof rake to pull some of the snow off the roof over the doors. Good to hear you are busy and probably sweating your butt off.

Our instruments that run on air here At our plant are not designed for cold unfortunately. I like to call our instrument air instrument water because it’s Louisiana and the humidity is terrible. Things will be going all cooky this weekend. Job security though.
enclosed building ?
if it gets cold in the plant its time to turn the mother up
winter time in the plants i work at are probably 70 degrees inside in the winter and 130 in the summer time
only good thing is its a dry heat no humidity

Thats Brent @Dream is the crane man. I'm just a peasant carpenter. LOL
The aluminum plant here has 11 giant smelting pots my friend was telling me.
Above the pots on a central beam with a crane riding on it
What happens is a big wrecking ball looking atachment is lowered
Into each pot to stir the molten aluminum.
It takes skill to get it swinging before you
Drop it in the pot to stir.
You rock it back and forth to get rotation started.
Well a know-it-all new hire claimed to be
All man and fully experienced
In this operation.
Unbelievably they turned him loose on this crane with no supervision just a walkie
After he finally got it swinging
And way too fast by the way
He got scared and terrifyingly raised it
Out of the pot
at full speed and rotation
You're have to let it wind down before pulling it.
Not this guy
Much screaming from the foreman on the walkie went unanswered.
And when raised that wrecking ball was swinging inches from the
Cab of the crane
On the surveillance camera it swinging looked two inches from taking it off the beam.
He got it calmed down finally
And procedded to hold the crane wide open
They move at a pretty good speed and he was in reverse
He started at pot 1 and passed 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10a 10b
Don't ask I have no idea why they are numbered as such.
After passing 10b it's 40 some feet until you hit the rubber puck on the
rail stop
And the block wall.
He never slowed and when he hit
It blew all the windows out
The camera showed him looking like a pinball bouncing
and bottom of his boots
Flopping around and sticking out where the glass used to be.
He got on the walkie and said I'm good
What do you want me to do next.

So you porting "experts" have been doing it all wrong. This is the high performance exhaust port of a Toro power light snowblower with a Tecumseh 2 stroke.

Looks like somebody got their drill bits out and became an expert
