Weave Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 2nd interview next week for a position that would be a complete career change. Different industry, different line of work. I'm intrigued but more than a bit nervous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksabre Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 (edited) So I stumbled across some pretty cool youtube channels recently. If you're into (or vaguely recall having been into) that late 60s early 70s psychadelic rock/metal, these two users are loaded with full albums of cool stuff. Enjoy! http://www.youtube.c...h?v=PfL8vABvmlc http://www.youtube.c...dikhoras/videos http://www.youtube.c...h?v=_zyWwGleUcU http://www.youtube.c.../Piwtoad/videos edit: not sure why it wont let the videos embed. weird.

darksabre Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 So ever since I moved to Rochester in 2007 I've been living right next to a little gem of a museum and never checked it out until today. The New York Transportation Museum in Henrietta is well worth the admission fee, especially if you have kids. There's a good selection of old train cars, and you can take a trolley ride about two miles down to the old Industry depot and see some more. I felt just like a little kid again and the volunteers working there are more than happy to chew your ear off about anything and everything train related. It's a low key little operation that is open only on Sundays year round, and they do special events every other weekend or two, so there's always something to bring you back. It stirred something from my Thomas the Tank Engine days and I immediately asked if they needed any help, to which they said we could use anyone under 50 to help in the restoration shop, special events, etc. Sign me up!

JJFIVEOH Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 (edited) Nailed it. Are you a train man JJ? Not trains, but different types of engines intrigue me. I remember seeing one of those down here, a modified version of that engine was once used at a pumping station. I remember looking it up when I saw it, the turbo setup is a giveaway. Especially around Lake Okeechobee, you used to be able to see some really cool, old style diesels at pumping stations. Most of them have been decommissioned, but a lot of them they kept in their location and on display. Here's a few I have handy.

MattPie Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 I have an acquaintance that's a Marine Engineer, the scale of those diesels is astonishing. Hatchways to climb inside the cylinders for maintenance... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frissonic Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 fixing our sprinkler lines ourselves and saving $350-400. pretty proud of this one. main line was leaking right at the shut-off valve. it just so happened that the pipe was directly under the edge of the valve box. worked around it anyway, and no more leak. took 2 days of on-and-off working (95 degrees by noon requires 30 minutes of grunt work, 30 minutes of air conditioning, or i end up with a debilitating headache), but it's done.

nfreeman Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 2 entertainment items: "Pacific Rim" -- pretty entertaining summer action thriller. "The Shield" -- very good cop show -- not as good as "The Wire" but in the neighborhood in subject matter and quality -- all 7 seasons available free on Amazon Prime.
