Great meeting you today, and chatting for a while. Glad you made it home safe and without issue.

The reason why I love this place, meeting the awesome members I otherwise wouldn’t ever have the pleasure of meeting and getting to know otherwise.

I cant wait to break shit trying to follow you at the ranch
 
Well I’ve been out of the loop for a bit and left @tknopp hanging a little on getting the shop done, (I’ll send you some contacts shortly Captain!)

We had a shutdown at work so it was all hands on deck. So I’ll post a few pics of what all went down.

Our boiler was in excellent shape as you can tell, several (~15 tubes) later and a new pop off valve later, it was good to go.

We also got this bad boy in, it comes from the top of the crystallizer over to the vapor wash heading towards the steam compressor.

This is looking straight up from the vapor wash showing where the new section was going.

That’s flying the new section up. The pipe to the left is the piece you’re seeing the bottom up view of from the earlier post. (Light at the end of the tunnel)

This is our steam compressor, 4500 hp Atlas-Copco @jeepinmatt and the “turbine twisty part” about as close as you can get to it without possibly damaging the IGV’s (seen in the more distanced picture).

There was a lot more Teflon lined pipe changed, along with valves, and pre-heaters, and other stuff dealing with exotic metals that I’m sure no one here cares about, but if so, let me know and I’ll take some more when I go back and explain our setup a little more in-depth.

I imagine my father in law saw a lot of this stuff when he was working. Retired boilermaker from NE Ohio working in the nuke plants up there. He’s got a lot of stories.

Yeah, bet he did, I skipped school a few times, for similar reasons. My dad is a retired pipe fitter, he worked on Davis Bessy, Nuclear plant, on lake Erie, I got a couple tours, plus skipped to see a helicopter set RTUs on a 1/4 mile long warehouse. That is where I got my first tow strap, pilot gave me two straps, after we buzzed the boats on the lake. [emoji1787]
Can't do that shit now days.

Slowly getting this thing how I want it. Turned the Ranchhand into cash, got a sweet hookup on a stock bumper from @braxton357. Swapped the mild 225 tires for some aggressive 285s. Once I get this fancy skirted aluminum bed sold, I'll stick a beefy steel one on there and make it dump with the dump kit i got today from some sketchy dude in Morganton.
