OT Been too busy working

I have not worked on anything tractor related, this is my season for Natural Gas system programming.

We are upgrading an interconnect near Clear Lake Iowa where two companies hook their pipelines together, this supplies Minneapolis from the south.

I have to get back to Farmington in the next couple of weeks to work there, hope to hook up with Green Mech.

I will be putting in three new wells this fall on an underground storage site in Iowa.

Oh yes, I will be doing an upgrade for metamucil the first of next month in Phoenix.

Nope,

The Clear Lake job was supposed to be a weeks work, but we kept finding things wrong, that is a critical site, must check it out completely. I will be in Omaha next week at their headquarters doing a pre-site checkout, then on site the following week. The site was ignored for years because it was too critical to take down, so we are fixing the issues during this outage. A good portion of the gas to the south side of Minneapolis will be interrupted while this is down, so we need to make it quick. I am hoping for an hour's outage, there is enough compressibility in the pipe to allow for a while.

They are tearing the fuel injection off the engine at Farmington, and will start on the mechanical Tuesday, that is suppose to take two weeks if all goes well. I am assuming it will take me 2-3 days to do my part, then a couple of days of check out there when we come back up on the standard fuel blend valves. The vendor that supplied the combustion system never got their part working right.
