    Damn the luck! I was just getting into it. Looks like we're gonna go balls to the walls at work to get the refinery up. 7/14's indefinite. We're gonna bring alkalite in this weekend and get our HF unit up first. Then comes the powerhouse, pipestills, sulfur units, hydrogen unit, coker unit, catcracker, and then all the bad boys which make the high octane/racing/diesel and jet fuels etc.... We've got one hell of a challenge ahead of us but it's gonna be worth it. I've got plant support/central maintenance of all the machinery, compressors, blower, pumps and whatever else it takes to move process through the piping. Looks like I'll have Sunday to watch the kid and do a little work on the truck before I go. I got a new condensor but it's aftermarket and looks like it's made of brass and painted black. That kind of scares me because the original is aluminumand unpainted. What do you guys think? Once the condenser and radiator are complete all that's left is the headers and wiring. Looks like the headers got pushed back until next Thursday now, what a bummer! Keep your fingers crossed that everything goes well so the price of gasoline will drop a little.

    Damn, man. With those hours and big paychecks you can afford to take it to MTI and let them finish it for you.

    I thought you guys were more famous for those high octane explosions down there.
