Definitely a win my brother.

Yep. Trust me. I know all about his games. Come on down for one of the AZ fall shoots and you'll learn even more about his games. Nothing is ever free........and no good deed goes unpunished.

Having a work vehicle is the BEST my man. You don't have to pay for gas, upkeep or anything. If it gets wrecked? Oh well......it's not mine. Plus, like you said, you don't have to be out there driving your own ride. Save the wear and tear.

Dude..........you've forgotten more about motorcycles than I'll ever learn. But...............for the right amount of hookers.........I'm willing to lend a hand.

Yeah, I've heard some dumb ass horror stories like that before. But we've gotten permission from that site to pimp the fact that they used our products/company to upgrade their facility in the past. It's documented on our company website, as well as the manufacturer website of the controls themselves (a Canadian group, go figure). We've changed out approximately 1200 VAV's (variable air volume boxes for offices), upgraded their lighting control and most of the mechanical equipment controls in the 3 buildings that they occupy there in Silver Spring over the last couple of years. This is the 2nd of 3 central chiller plants that we've done at this facility, with the 3rd coming later this year (that's what's conflicting with the Wisconsin meet-up for me). Somehow, I'm one of the few (very few) guys with the company capable of taking one of these chiller plants from start to finish. And I'm always willing to help you out wherever I can brother. The only thing we have is a geography issue.

I'm in for this brother. I'll PM you for your address so I can send a check. I don't do paypal. Rob knows the pain of dealing with me. Don't suppose you have zelle (through the banks) do ya?

Oh, I get it. Nope. No NDA, being that it's work for the government. It's all part of public record somewhere in the bowels of Washington DC. Granted, they don't own these buildings, but they're pretty well dug in with their leases and all.

Welcome from Maryland.

Welcome aboard from Maryland.

You lost me.

Alright ladies. For any of you bastards that think that us control/automation guys only work with our laptops. Suck on it. So, we're getting close to finishing our re-fit of the chiller plant in the NOAA headquarters here in Silver Spring MD. It's been 3 months so far, and we're probably looking at about another month to finish things up completely (before getting rushed off to the next one). For the size of building that it is, the mechanical system is pretty basic for a commercial office building. Theose new chillers in the pictures though are pretty sweet (as far as chillers go). They're the oil-less type with magnetic bearings. Those fukers are pretty quiet (relatively), even when running under a heavy load. Anyway, here's a quick rundown. A view trying to catch most of the mechanical room: A reverse look back at the chillers: A shot of the primary condenser and chilled water pumps: The custom built control panel that I fabricated, wired and programmed. We're still not done, like I said, so it's not all cleaned up yet. : A closer look at the panel : A panel that we installed to control a $hit load of 2 position, line voltage valves. We open and close the valves (obviously) as well as monitor their position. : A closer look at that same relay panel. I custom built this panel on site also, besides the main control panel. It's also not 100% complete yet. It should get wrapped up early next week, and then all of the wire-trough covers will be cut and snapped into place. That'll clean the whole look of it up. : So.....don't always laugh at us control fuks. Some of us actually run the conduit, hang the panels, build the panels, pull the wiring and terminate the wiring as well as doing the programming. I like my work.......I just hate my job sometimes.......as we all do. Carry on ladies.

Well played my friend.........well played.

That looks pretty fukin cool my man. You better get your ass down to AZ in the fall so I can shoot it. Otherwise..............you SUCK!

I got 3 Armalite AR-10 carbine length gas tubes coming (for spares). An AR-10 complete BCG (once again as a spare). Some AR-15 gas rings (cause I didn't have any in stock), and some 338 chamber brushes (cause I hate cleaning $hit).

That's funny. I was just going through my parts bins the other day (taking inventory), and I came across 3 Armalite carbine tubes and 5 springs. Hell, I had forgotten that I had those......thus the inventory thing. Surprisingly enough though, I only had one carbine gas tube. Now that doesn't sound like me at all. I'm usually too obsessed with redundancy to just have one. The overall inventory was productive though. What started with a pencil and a clipboard, turned into 4 pages of $hit. Found 4 AR-15 stripped lowers. One was even already engraved as an SBR lower. Apparently I forgot to build that one. It ain't easy being as dumb as I am ya know. Found a billet Black Rain fallout 10 matched set that I never built. And most of all.......2 stripped Armalite AR-10 lowers. One of them was to build a second SASS, but I was gonna have Tom hit it with his FDE paintjob. I got the handguard /gas system from Pat Raley a while back. I think the other was for an A2 carbine that I used the lower for my Leonidas SBR. And then.............................TONS of parts. Sheesh......as if I don't have enough projects going on around the house already.

Damn. You weren't kidding when you said blow out prices. I may have to buy a couple "just because".

Those WC rails are solid. I've got one on one of my SBR builds. If the rifle goes click, you can beat them with the rail.

Yep, you stay on em Matt. For a guy that wants to constantly ram that desert down our throats, he's all skeered about buying a little suppressor........or two.......or three.

Happy belated birthday Mack. Love those Kabar's.

Welcome from Maryland.

A belated happy birthday to Tom-Ass. And an early happy birthday to Matt. HFB to both of you deplorable brothers.

Nope. Sounds like it's hers now.

Is that a tiger striped Desert Eagle at the bottom?

Welcome from Maryland.

Definitely.
