It doesn't take 3 days to get to Missouri from Arizona ya lazy bastard.

That dude is literally knee-deep in that mess. With that being said. Anything can be fixed. It's all a matter of how long it'll take.

The first bump is always free. After that you gotta pay.

That right there is some of the best advice to be taken.

Welcome aboard from another citizen of the peoples republic of Marylandstan.

A happy belated birthday to our Mama Bear Susan.

I'll place my bet that he already has it and was just baiting us in.

Mine needs to make the journey back out there. She may be making the trip for the fall shoot this year. Plus, I've got the conversion kit for her so that she can do either 338LM or 300 Winmag.

Sounds like he's willing to become a mule.

Yep. A big ol Merry Christmas to all of you deplorable mother fukers that I love to call friends. Brothers actually.

Yep.

I'd say that you guys are a bunch of enablers. But.............you know..........

You're close brother. But mine is just the standard MRAD, not the MK22 version. Some of those Barrett prices are absolutely insane. But they make nice $hit. I'm still knocking around the idea of getting a suppressor for mine. But I've been hemorrhaging cash into fixing up the house this year. So it'll still be a while for the can. Everything in time I suppose.

You get the official R2 seal of approval on this one brother. I love taking things that are made for one thing, and using them for something completely different. Good job my man.

Who doesn't love a happy ending right?

Truth!

Yep. I already had 400 rounds shipped out to my sons place in Nevada. This was just a bonus case of another 200 rounds just because. But I appreciate the thought brother.

Some last minute Grendel ammo for the desert meet-up. I mean, you can never have too much.

Down here, at least in the DC area, elevator techs/fire alarm techs/control techs, we're all in the same approximate wage range. After all, all of our stuff (equipment) is doing the same thing. Just for different applications.

I'll throw in a couple bonus pics of some little stuff. Still night and day difference from what was started with, and what was left once completed. These were for some perimeter fan driven duct heaters. We built about 30 of these using 18x18x4 junction boxes. This was a typical AHU panel. Not a lot happening here since we communicate directly with the units instead of using relay logic to control them. About 20 of these were built over the course of the job.

Couldn't have said it better my brother.

Here's a shot of the temp work station that I was using. Once planting myself in one section of the penthouse area, I was able to drag out a 2nd monitor. I can't tell you how much easier that it makes it sometimes. More wiring. And it's slowly coming together. And finally. The finished product. It takes quite a bit of work from the initial destruction of the old system. But I'm also kind of anal (go ahead and start the jokes) about how I build the new panels out. I like them clean and organized. Plus I leave plenty of documentation hung on the inside of the panel doors ( I even laminate the panel schedules). I do this mostly to help "the next guy" that ends up coming behind me to try and fix something. That.....and I'm usually that "next guy". So yeah. A little bit of nerdiness, combined with some tech $hit and this is what you end up with. Now I'm cleared to go help blow up a little section of the desert that we all know and love. As you were ladies.

So we've been trying to finish out this fuking job at the HQ of the small business administration, that one of our other guys and I have been on for the past year. This building is literally a stones throw away from the Capitol building. Needless to say, I flip off the Capitol on a daily basis as I drive by. Then the Senate buildings as I drive by them. But I digress. So I've been labeled as showing panel porn from the likes of degenerates such as Eric in the past. I figured that I'd throw up some pics of the last primary mechanical room that we just finished. That was my last big hurdle to get finished before going on the annual Arizona desert retreat to the SDTF. So.........on to the nerdiness. We had to start by temporarily throwing in some new controllers to actually run some of the $hit that was there. Then we ripped out the old panel and cut a trough in to give a little space, then the new panel. Then, the wiring and control modules.

Well, as you can tell. I'm more of a salty kinda guy rather than sweet. insert jokes here ya savages.
