rifles, shotguns and "saturday night specials" came and went even as preteen.
HOWEVER, a Christmas gift of High Standard Double Nine and a Paladin Holster / Dropped belt will be with till it is pried from my cold dead hand.
I wish I knew the number of rounds have been through it
For the last few days temps in NC are unusually cold and there is not enough generation so un annouced rolling blackouts for hours. I have had two so far
4pm news briefing announced that area GOLF courses will be open tomorrow.
State of Emergancy and Curfew ends at 05:00EST
Duke anticipates having all service restored tonight
I'll add to the wild-arsed speculations;
the Sheriff commented the vandel "knew what he was doing". that could mean that it was not a missed shoot at a deer, but intentionally aimed at transformer.
Now that the utility can not reroute service to that area through a different feeder, Did the...
after their incident, didn't PGE enclose the transformers. (I thought a lot of them were already "out of sight" anyway)
Local "Professors" doing "comentary" for NEWS are calling for block enclosures. and hardening the sorrounding buffer zone with better fencing.
as for impact on the...
I initially thought of an attack on the grid since the location is adjacent to Fort Bragg.
Local news will soon be calling it Terrorism as rumors are anti gay right did it in protest of drag show in nearby city.
Did not read Your posting yet. Hearing Major equipment needing replacement...
not paying attention here nor news.
has it been discussed that a "shut down" nuclear plant needs power to remove ambiant heat for fuel decay? (or KaBoom)
I thought it interesting that in a fosseil fuel power station when "clearances" were hung to put the plant in shut down. the only need for...
not sure if someone else hasn't made this comment...
after watching above, the resolution of the safety switch versus the final position it was verifying. such a small change resulting in large differance in closure gap.
today, a Model 3 appeared to be in autopilot behind me. It maintained 1 car length at 45mph. HOWEVER it did not reconize my left turn signal/brake lights.
while It didn't hit me, the passangers took a jolt
my similear thoughts. . .
given young mans height and chest girth, the between the leg protrusion was left far above the seat, (and the thickness of hips had his CG over the edge of the seat)
the over the shoulder did restrain during negative G of initial fail, but during positive G...
another possible "design" defficency . . .
i got the impression the unit was producing mw (synched) when the event happen. even it the turbine tripped, the generator breaker should not open till all steam addmission indicated closed AND the unit went reverse power
I think the "reheater" is actually the steam generator.
the inability to have indication of a failed state was one of the big heart aches I had when I attempted to assist with the conversion of older turbine controls to modern computer controls. (oh, I did have the "big one" that forced my...
I never work "combine cycle", so with out plant specific drawings, I thought the explaination was fair. actually, I was able to anticipate the event and conclusion.
Normal steam turbine overspeeds from "heaters" was a BIG concern and given the simplicity of the use of flapper non return...
