Stop in for a cup of coffee

Well gotta go, heading over to Nighthawk custom in Berryville Ar for the day. Gotta see what’s cooking and how the integration of Cooper rifles is going. They bought out Cooper a year or so ago. Just about to start making them, I hope! My buddy will drag me thru the new addition if he is not tied up.

Will there be samples?

:rolleyes:
 
OMFG !!!!

Before you ask.. yes, I've spent a great deal of time in the past, studying this

Electric grid is 1950s technology. There are 3 interconnects... Eastern, Western and Texas... any generation is "available" within the interconnect. Any power not consumed gets dumped into ground. There's no storage, therefore, auxiliary power generation comes online as required (or offline) ... Spinning spares and cold start facilities are few... almost all step-up or step-down bulk transport transformers are customized to the generation plant... We (the US) do not make transformers domestically any longer.

Edit to add,

Governance and management of the electrical grid is also convoluted.

North American Electrical Reliability Council (Non-profit industry group) NERC

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Federal) Home Page
I had to deal with the NERC in my last job, ugh ugh I hope I never have too again
 
I bet he did, be nice to grab so royalties.
Good morning Mike, meeting with my spray foam guy this morning, getting the ceiling done in the shop.
Hope all is well and some snow starts melting up there today for you..
Morning Mike. You will notice a big difference with that ceiling being done.

Oh it’s not politics. It’s work related. Politics have zilch to do with this discussion. In fact, the organization being talked about is not a federal agency despite its name. It’s a non-profit, non-government and non legally enforceable organization.

Electrical engineers are some of the hardest to work with people that ever exist. NERC is bad. UL is even worse. It’s the egos and attitudes that make it a pain.
Thanks. You self control makes our job much easier. We hate do delete posts from friends, especially in the coffee shop.
 
Good morning gentlemen. Well I feel like I may be coming down with Wyatt’s illness. I took NyQuil last night and then overslept this morning :BangHead: So I had to hit the ground running. I didn’t back read so I hope everyone’s morning is going well.

Oh, it wasn't you... It was the words I had churning in my head as a response ....
 
morning all you electric car haters.:lol: You will never see one here, electrical grid is too small this far out.
 
Got some plowing done. Brought in some parts to get started on the hvac in Studebaker. Will use part of the s-10 firewall for mounting.
Was a 2 cup coffe break, and i see snow is happening. Ice pellets, or maybe freezing rain.
