A few pics from work.

I got a new phone with a 2 megapixel camera in it. On my rounds the last week I thought I would snap a few shots.

My work won't fix um.

I had one that was so bad...when the headlights were on the clearance lights on the roof would reflect in it and almost blind me. I finally had to take it into a port and tell them to write up a "notice to comply" to get them to fix it.

[JeeperG]

didn't you just get a new cellphone last year about this time?

[needsrepair]

Drive to work? You know how to hurt a guy

I don't remember when I got the last one. It was over a year though because the warranty was gone.

I left mine soaking in a cupholder of coke for a couple of hours though so I didn't really have a choice.

Ya know? I just don't miss OTR anymore after seeing some of those pics! LOL I still miss driving though.

[SCW]

The pics of the snow blowing reminds me of the only time I've been REALLY scared driving in bad weather. Ice storm between Memphis and Little Rock last winter. Holy crap, 6 hours of driving on a 2" sheet of ice in a rental car. I was completely exhausted when I got to my hotel.

[XJumpmaster]

Try doing it with 3 pup trailers behind ya, I was a chain smokin fool when I had to pull multiples.

I would never pull triples. To me its just Russian Roulette.

I drive through Wyoming almost everyday so I have been scared on the road many many times.

[XJumpmaster]

that's why I don't do it anymore! LOL

[DrMoab]

Its hard to make 60K+ doing anything else without a collage education though.

Besides I'm home most nights and I don't have a boss looking over my shoulder.

[XJumpmaster]

True dat! Course if my orders don't get extended in Jan, I might be looking driving again. I keep my license updated just in case.

[SCW]

Yep, just like that. Where was that taken?

I lived in Los Alamos last year and we had really nice snow storms up there, hardly ever had ice build up on the road. Kinda weird having all the lightning during a snow storm but we had lightning all the time anyway.

Western Arkansas on I-40. December '04. Shortly after this we stopped! I got off on a side road and weaved my way south to get out of it. It really sucked! Added an extra 6 hours to my trip. Only reason it was that little was because of my two lane adventure. When I got to my wife's family's house in Alabama the news said people were still traped on 40.

EDIT: Notice I am driving on the "Wake up stupid" ripples. It was the only way I had any traction. (and for all of you who are wondering why I didn't stop, I couldn't find a hotel anywhere and everything was closed because of the strom.

You can't smoke in the truck. But everyone I know who smokes does anyway. I have never heard anyone being busted except for one jackass we had working for us who got pulled over and kept on smoking while the cop was talking to him.

My phone uses an sd card to store pics and vids. I just pull the card out and stick it in a card reader on my computer.

Gifton is right also...you can send them to an email service.

Mountain States LP gas.

[dirtybird]

you got a big set of brass ones pullin lp on that strech of road in the winter nasty thru there and a whole lot of knuckle heads i think fed ex should pay to have it plowed and salted every winter it would have to be cheaper than putting all those trucks in the ditch every year I pull for Southern Pride out of San diego and we dont run in that stuff the engines are to costly to take the risk

[DrMoab]

The funny thing is, our busy season is the winter and its all the stupid little towns that use propane to heat in the winter.

I run Jackson in the cold months more then anywhere else.

Pics from my work- This was my trip to Wisconsin where we do most of our work.

Switch structure-
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v294/utahmom/Shane/P1060852.jpg

LARGE (fricking huge!) dead-end structure with two circuits of 345kV
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v294/utahmom/Shane/P1010129.jpg

Base plate of the same dead-end. This is a solid steel plate about 15ft across and 8" thick. 54 2 1/2" bolts that run to the bottom of the 25ft deep foundation hold it down.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v294/utahmom/Shane/P1010136.jpg

Laminated wood structure. 5ft wide at the ground line and about 7ft at the bottom. Over 80ft poking out of the ground.

Yeah, I know. Boring stuff, my wife keeps telling me that. But at least I don't work with waterwater treatment plants anymore. :D

[slider]

those remind me of when i was building mountain top radio antenna sites. i loved that type of work, until i got a crappy boss.

[DrMoab]

I've never seen a laminated pole before. And no it isn't boring....I love seeing what people do in the real world.

[SCW]

Ryan, my "real world" job is sitting in a cubicle with two monitors on. One shows NAXJA and I'm not really sure what's on the other one :D

EDIT- if you keep your eyes open on the east side of I-15 south of Lagoon a few miles there are two or three laminated poles, but not nearly this big.

[DeadEyeJ]

They aren't so much confusing, as they are messy. They are coated in a silicone-ish vaseline-ish greasy-ish goo called icky pick. It gets all over you when you work with cables like that. It's especially runny when the phone boxes get hot in the summer sun. Good times.

[xalexjx]

I took out a phone line the other day. We had them come and mark it (it was underground) and they mis marked it, After i made it above ground with the excavator (about 250 wires) i called the phone guy and he came and started working away. I went and worked somewheres else but I felt sorry for him. The two feet of snow wasnt helping either :doh:

I know the snow is a pain for you guys, but I could use some of it here.

[12 Volt Man]

I left for work this morning at about 4:30. There was about 6 new inches of snow at that time. My wife kept calling me at work all day saying that it hadn't quit snowing and that it was piling up. I was working in Sandy and there was no snow to speak of. Boy was I surprised when I got home. I wouldn't have even made it into the driveway without my Jeep.

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2403/2181061401_aa13c5308f.jpg (http://www.flickr.com/photos/12voltman/2181061401/)

Luckily I have one of those good neighbors with a huge snow blower. He came over and made short work of my driveway. There was almost 2 feet of new snow. Plus everything that had accumulated in the last few days. If I step off the beaten path, the snow goes half way up my thigh. I don't remember this much snow in quite a few years.

Then, I figured the dogs could have some fun in this, so I turned them loose. That's Cooper in there somewhere.

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2310/2181064483_fd8ea3774b.jpg (http://www.flickr.com/photos/12voltman/2181064483/)

I lost Cowboy for a minute and walked over to the vacant sage brush lot next door. There he was on point. I flushed a covey of about 15 quail. My neighbor was amazed. Then he gave me the stories most guys have of worthless bird dogs they had hunted with in the past. He thought ol' Cowboy was the coolest dog he had ever seen. He'll talk about that for a long time.

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2053/2181064277_cea32fe104.jpg (http://www.flickr.com/photos/12voltman/2181064277/)

A few minutes later I lost track of Cowboy again. I waded through the deep snow back over to the vacant lot. There he was in a different spot. This time half of him was missing. His front half was buried in the snow and he was pointing some more quail. I let him stay there for a good 3 minutes while I messed with the camera. I wish I had got a better picture because I doubt I will ever see that again.

About that time the School bus came by. It didn't look good, he was fish tailin' back and forth. Finally he got stuck.

Not a recent shot, but after shoveling/blowing snow all weekend.......I'm thinking about July.

I planned on getting in some snow wheeling this month, didn't think it would be in my neighborhood.
Played "how many school kids can you pack into an XJ" after school because their mom's were stuck, pulled out several cars, including a short bus that got stuck in a plow berm.

We did plenty of donuts and starsky's in the way home to make the ride memorable for them......... this shot was taken before noon, snowed another 8" by 4pm.

I would pay top dollar to figure out a way to get TJ in the cab of that train. He is a huge train fanatic.

was this close to where the rock landed on the tracks and de-railed that Amtrak train a few years ago? I know it locomotive landed in the river.That happened January 2005. UP shut us down for two weeks after that happened.

It was actually located about 1.5 miles behind this picture. All my pictures I posted are Eastbound. The pic below is the West end of the Ruby Tunnel.

yea burning it, that beetle last summer was obnoxious they were everywere but they did kill the tamarisk for a bit, but acording to the beetle info paper i got they will take about three years to fully wipe out the tamarisk

Tamerisk is not native, it is an invader plant brought in to make river and ditch banks more stable. Problem is they are very prolific and suck up lots and lots of water. I don't think anyone would be against killing it off, at least I cant see why.

Remember who we are talking about. A group of people who never make sense in their reasoning.

[jmaxj]

nope but i could work just as hard at it as those guys do, and the enviro greenies are in the process of wiping out the tamarisk and russian olive trees cause they are just a big weed so to speak, next time you down here take alook at the nature conservancy the same people that bought out moab rim have wiped out alot of the trees in there.

[XJSpencer]

I think it is absolutely hilarious that the enviro-greenies are killing trees.

[jmaxj]

I think it is absolutely hilarious that the enviro-greenies are killing trees.
yea i confronted the head greenie over it and the answer was the usual, "they are not trees they are obnoxious weeds". so as long as in thier eyes it's ok then it's ok.

For me it's a wonderful drive. Traffic is minimal. In fact that is US-50 but when you leave Ely going west it splits into US-6 and 50. Going to Tonopah I take US-6 quite often Its almost 200 miles from Ely to Tonopah and one night last year I counted cars between towns. Six. Yep six cars passed me in almost 200 miles. There is zero cell coverage for most of that. It would be a hell of a bad place to have a major accident. If you had a heart attack you would just, well...die.

In the Grand Canyon my company maintains several emergency phones throughout the canyon. The radios that feed them are in very remote places off the main trails. To make a long story short, we had to change some batteries at one of the sites. To avoid the 12 mile hike with 80 pound batteries, we got to take the helicopter... It used to be you could take a helicopter tour into the canyon. But now days there are only two ways to get a ride in the canyon and especially land. One requires a stretcher and medi-vac, the other is to work on their phones. :) :)

The park service actually owns one of these, but it was down for repair so they leased the 407.

Some times you see things that just defy imagination.

This pic hasn't had the color changed or been modified in any way.

It was in Driggs Id yesterday at sunset. I have never seen anything quite like it.

I thought this one was kind of cool. I was sitting in the sleeper of my truck waiting for a spot to load and just happened to snap it.

[DrMoab]

Went to a new interesting place.

For those of you LDS peoples you probably know of this place but I had to take a load of propane up to the Heber summer camp. The road going up there is 10% grades for 4 miles. Doesn't sound like much in a car or jeep but in a big truck its intimedating.
Here is a video coming back down. Its kind of boring and doesn't really show how steep it is but you can get a feel for how narrow the road is.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DMDQFkCg9A

The place they had me deliver to was nuts. They told me to take an extra liquid hose. I should have had two extra.
In order to get close enough to the bulkhead to unload I had to back my truck off the side of the road to the very edge of tipping it over.

Even then I have the hoses stretched so tight it took two of us to stretch them out enough to hook up.

I would have stacked rocks. Who was your spotter anyway? :D

Spotter was thinking... "damn, he is carrying 9336 gallons of death and its about to roll over...he doesn't really need a spotter"

And promptly ran away.

Besides, who needs a spotter? I put it there on purpose. It was the only way the hoses would reach.

How many gallons did you unload into their tank and what is the "temperature correlated" capacity of your tank?

[DrMoab]

How many gallons did you unload into their tank and what is the "temperature correlated" capacity of your tank?

Man, you are going to make me work. The water capacity of my tank is 10400 gallons. At 55 degrees(gas temp) I took them 9336 gal and it filled that tank to 90%

The first tank I went to up there was a 12,00 gal tank that had 30% in it. I took it up to 83%(company policy states we can't fill them higher than 85%

That left me with around 2700 gal so I took it to another tank. It was already at 75% and I filled it to 85%. This left me with about 700 gallons and I took it to the Suburban propane in Heber City proper where I put it into a 18,000 gal tank that was at 71% and moved it a whole 1% to 72%

Need any more details Tom? ya nerd. :D :D :D

12,000 gal tank? Guess it did justify your truck to fill it, thats what I was wondering.

They have one tank that feeds several big cabins and service buildings. It's like a whole little village up there.

Ran into this today about two miles from my destination.

The funny things is you can see another propane truck heading the other way. That was Cody. We had a nice long conversation while they decided how we could get around the mess.

What was left of the Fifth Wheel trailer when they were done. The idiots from California(go figure) pulling it had a kid in the trailer when it wrecked. I don't know how bad he or she was hurt but they hauled him away in an ambulance.

That may look gay but its imperative to have on there. Bugs are hard to wash off a window that sits 10 off the ground and they really keep the bugs off.

oh i know but so does that rain x bug stuff, it works great.

If you can't beat them...

Since this is on Williams Gas Co property and they don't allow weapons. I had to resort to something else to shoot them with...
