  1. Put HEB and Chick-Fil-A together and everyone would have electricity, food, water and a covid vaccine by now.
  2. I thought this thread was about Jeff Fisher and Vince Young. Carry on.
  3. Insert spider man pointing at each other pic.
  4. No problem. I wouldn’t have said shit if we were, I would’ve kept my mouth shut. I’m not trying to get neg-bombed [emoji23]
  5. We are not a power generation business. We generate our own power and could put it back on the grid, but that’s not our business.
  6. Spot on. That was me that brought this up earlier. We committed last Friday for a specific volume of gas expecting the price to be in the $30/unit range. We were notified after the commitment that the price is $356/unit, but at that point we’re committed whether we use the gas or not. So basically we said Friday that we will purchase 20 units of gas Saturday, Sunday & Monday. When they told us the pricing it was to late, we were in. That’s why we shut the fuck down Monday morning and are still down. We’re waiting on pricing for this weekend to decide if we stay down through the weekend or not. In the mean time do you care to guess how much shit has frozen and busted with everything being down? FM Global hates this shit.
  7. I think there is a poster here whose wife is a pharmacist with CVS if I’m not mistaken. Maybe they will see this and chime in. Maybe it was JimmyJazz?
  8. Ah, ok. I don’t venture over there often so I’ll check it out. Thanks.
  9. I can’t remember what the hour count was on it. It can’t be that high. If I’m remember correctly you are close to us. We used Nantz Electric and they did a good job for us. They coordinated with the electric and gas folks (meter needed to be changed out for a larger one). I dealt with them and they handled everything else.
  10. It quit one day when the power went out. I had the switch ready for them to install when they came out. The manual is pretty good about having all the part numbers and I’ve been able to find everything thus far.
  11. This was quoted in his post. I didn’t read the full release but this certainly reads the way he described it in the tweet.
  12. I’m not really sure how that side of it works. I’m pretty sure that we have to tell them daily what our usage for the next day will be and then they give us the price. From my minimal understanding, the price for Friday sets the price for the weekend. When we told them on Friday what we would use the next two days they came back with 356 per unit. That locked our price in for the weekend. On Monday the decision was made to shut all but one boiler down and get gas usage as low as possible until the price comes back down. It’s absolutely insane, but when your the only provider you can do whatever you want.
  13. Quick comment on this. At the facility I work at our gas price per unit went from 30 to 356 sometime last Friday evening. Our normal daily gas cost is somewhere in the neighborhood of 200k/day. With the rate increase, our gas cost per day went to right around 2.6 million/day. The decision was made on Monday that it was cheaper for us to shutdown than it was to pay the 2.4 million increase in gas cost. I can absolutely see why some facilities would chose to shutdown instead of paying these insane gas prices. They priced the gas so high that people can’t afford to continue to run until the weather warms up and the gas prices go down.
  14. We have a 22KW Generac with auto transfer switch that runs on natural gas. It was right at $8500 installed. I’ve had the oil pressure switch go out and had to replace the battery and terminals, but otherwise it’s been good. The only upgrade I made when we bought it was had them install copper cable from the generator to the switch instead of aluminum since it was going to run across the house. I’m not in Houston so I can’t recommend a dealer.
  15. I can’t say shit on this one. I burned up a couple of Wubba Nubs trying to boil the nipples. Turns out the flame on the stove was a little high and the plastic/fiber could not take the length.
  16. Probably because they produce power for another area or even another state. It bullshit that some of these places build in one state and supply power to another. Hell we could put power back on the grid here, but the state won’t let us.
  17. Um actually you are just doing the same thing to another utility. The gas companies have the same worries about meeting the demands. In fact they put a cap on the amount of gas my facility can use this week. If we exceed it we run the risk of heavy fines or even them shutting our shit off. So yea, the gas companies are just as concerned as the electric providers.
  18. Damn, that could be either the Arkansas or the Texas side. They are both equally “shitty”.
  19. The morning sun made its way Through the wind shield of my Chevrolet Whiskey eyes and ashtray breath On a chert rock gravel road What the hell did I do last night That's the story of my life Like tryin' to remember words To a song nobody wrote
  20. That is not championship level piss. He needs to lay off the apple juice.
  21. A kid that goes to the same sitter as mine likes to poop in his diaper and then throw it on the floor. A couple of times the sitter has stepped in it before she realized he’s done it again. I would put a couple wraps of duck tape around the top of the diaper where they can’t get their hand in.
  22. We start new electrical engineering grads out in the neighborhood of 70k. After 18 months they get a pretty significant bump.
