Below is a collage that summarizes my day at work.

THE LAZY WORKERS 😀

So, after arriving to work this morning to finish up a furnace installation, I noticed a couple of new guys were there. They slept all day, except when i would ask them for help. Then they would actually yell at me. I took a couple pictures of them.

This is Chuck, he is pretty laid back and calm.

And this is Bob. Bob has an attitude and does not work well with others. Don't be like Bob. 😁


This is a video of Bob yelling at me.



LUNCH AT THE FLOODED MISSISSIPPI

At lunch I went to Grafton for pizza. The river is a little flooded right now. So I thought, what a great place to eat! I was able to sit right at the river and enjoy my pizza. The river was so close the ground I was on was saturated with water.

A look South down the river, towards St. Louis.

And a look to the North, toward our Canadian neighbors.



INTO THE BELLY OF THE BEAST

After lunch I found myself with the boss man heading down to the local harbor to replace a bad raw water pump circuit board on a fifty foot yacht. Here is a quick picture I got of this beauty.

The main circuit board that controls their air conditioning had burned up and it was Laird Conditioning to the rescue. This repair required us to crawl down into the bilge/engine compartment of the ship.

Here's a view of the access hatch.

Now a view from the inside.(Looking back toward the entry hatch.)

While our circuit board was in this room, it also housed the "power makers" of the ship. Two diesel powered Volvo Penta marine engines.

After a little bilge compartment sight seeing we got to work repairing the A/C system. We replaced the board and fired it up. They were good to go, as the system was now functioning as designed. It was a board similar to this one. (Sorry, forgot to take a picture of the actual board.)

Bob has an attitude .. but perhaps he is just politely asking for food ;)

If i make my way back to that worksite, ill bring them some fruit and we will see if they are hungry. ☺

Lol...perhaps! :D

Great to see you online again my friend. How goes life for you and the family?

Not too bad. Busy as can be! That's for sure. Works been hectic. And Evans school tires him out, so he sleeps pretty good. I completed all my classes and received my HVACR technician certification. Pretty happy about that. My girlfriend got a good job in the medical field too. How are yous doing? And did you decide on where to keep Evans present he got you. I promised him I'd ask. I hope all is well, and I'll be seeing you around.

Evan's gift is displayed proudly in our living room. My wife likes it too so I wasn't allowed to bring it to work. Great news all round the job front. We've all been pretty flat out at work too. Must be just that time of year. What is a HVACR certification? Guessing HV = High Voltage?

HVACR=heating ventilation air conditioning and refrigeration. If it makes something cold...from a house to a walk in freezer and everything in between we repair, diagnose and or install all of it. Its pretty fun. I get to travel around a little and never work in the same place for long. Plus i make most all of our custom sheet metal. So i get to be creative and be challenged. But.... We do mess with 230V three phase systems every now and then. It's probably enough to a blue whale... Seriously. So you were kinda right. 😀

Nice. New challenges at work are never a bad thing. Some days I feel like that's what I need in this gig.

That's exactly why I left my last career. I was tired of the repetitiveness. Same thing, same place, day after day, year after year. I'm so glad I went through with it.

I just seen that you delagated some SP to me and wanted to stop by to say thanks. This new RC system Steemit incorporated has put a damper on things. I hope the new system don't run off too many redfish / newbies.

  • Thanks again for the delagation. You are too generous.

Wrong person😁

And again. 😁

Hi @badassjohn!

drugwars

Received:

  • 17.884 STEEM from daily
  • 9.431 STEEM from heist
  • 3.344 STEEM from referral

Spent:

  • 35.262 STEEM

Total:

  • -4.603 STEEM

First transfer was before 19.41 days.
Your ROI per day is 4.48 % and you are earning approx. 1.58 STEEM per day.
Break even in approx. 2.9 days.

You are more then welcome. You do so much around here to help others. When i read @mysearchisover's post saying you couldn't keep up with your posts due to the new rules, I felt you definitely deserved a hand. I gave what i could from my two accounts. Im sorry I can't do more.... But i do have a plan to try to help you some more.

Your delgation is certainly appreciated but Please focus your help on another that may need it. There are so many redfish with 15 sp that are likely getting frustrated with this site because of the new RC system and lack of account use they have. I think this RC system was a big blunder by the Steem team.

I have a steady stream of rewards coming in so my RC issues were / are only a short temporary issue.

'M hoping my delegation will be temporary, as i have a plan to try to get you some more help from the dolphin arena.

I thank you for the help but there are others that need it more. I have 250 SP which allows for allot of comments. I just need to allow it to regenerate a little and I have a steady influx of rewards coming that also help regeneration of RC. Please focus that help on someone else. Remove the delagation when-ever you see fit to do so. I wasn't expecting to run into much more RC issues after today even before your delagations.

And unfortunately, i believe it is already discouraging a few. Mainly ive noticed a lot of my friends not able to post. They have hit me up in discord. When i explain the reason why they are having a hard time now, they are heart broken and discouraged

Steem went too far into the pay to play direction. It will just scare people away. I understand Steemit needs investors but it also needs users as without them it doesn't matter what system they implement. No users = no steemit.

Too true... And also sad.

Hi Saw you commenting around today and thought I would pop over and see what you are into. Looks like you have good company at work and just in time for the Halloween season too.
You do better than me I always seem to forget snapping a pic when interesting things happen. Must train the brain to do better on that.

Yes, i do it for every body else. I love sharing things i think are neat. Im glad you stopped in.


On another note, i am trying to help a friend on here. He believes he is going blind in his right eye and wants to go to the doctor, but can't afford to. I promised to pay for him to go(its only 27 dollars) ....but i forgot how long it takes for me to turn US Dollars into crypto. I have about 19 in my account now. So i ask, do you have any steem or sbd you can spare. I will repay you as soon as my money hits my ether wallet.(with interest) I hate asking, but this guy is a great person and deserves help. If you can't or are just unwilling to, it is okay. I won't be upset and i promise i understand. But i will repay you with interest, i hope you can believe me when i say this. Here is proof im just waiting for it to be converted.

Any help is greatly appreciated. I hope your weekend is going great!

Well you hit a home run with the bat... get it ? homerun= bat lol
Yeah corny I know

Anyway I have commitments that equal about 2 steem per week so need to make sure I can at least meet that. I for sure can't count on post payouts mine are just now starting to break 1.00
I do have about 5 that I won't need for a little bit.
I wouldn't dream of charging interest. I actually would donate if I could. Sadly a loan for 5 is about as good as I can do at the moment. Would that help a little?

Immensely! We would be within just a few bucks. I really truly appreciate it. And I will agree with the no interest, so to compensate you will be added to my steemauto vote accounts for a while. Thank you again so much!

Thank you!! the votes will be greatly appreciated and put to good use.
I really should set up one of those auto things myself I am so bad about getting distracted and voting all over the place

P. S. Corny jokes are the best!

I love the photos.
Good to see everything going smooth. I wish you well at your job. Hope your boss is a nice man and not as mean as Bob :)

Its always nice to have smooth waters. And yes, my boss is the absolute best boss in the whole world. He is a nice caring family man

I hope all is well. Haven't saw or heard from you in a few days. Wishing you the best dear friend.

Nice getting in touch once again. Your co-workers above must be happy to have hard-working someone like you doing all the work hahaha

I think they enjoyed their rest. 😀

That Bob is one mean SOB. I wouldn't want to run into him in a dark alley. On the plus side ... he is a great guard for your workplace :)

Yeah, he had an attitude for sure. I was going to stick around after dark to get video of them coming out. But family beckoned and i had to go home.

Don't be like Bob! LOL

What a full and interesting day! And so much accomplished!
I know a few HVAC guys, some do industrial-type installation and repair and it can be brutal. The ones who fix home a/c's are always sure of a warm welcome! (Okay, that was a joke, but seriously, people are so happy to see them!)

Yeah, we don't do industrial applications. Just residential and commercial. But it can be some very demanding work. But my cousin is my boss, and he's a great friend and boss. Its really awesome. Thanks for stopping by my dear friend!
