It always amazed me at the stupidity of many of the drug test "requirements".
When I was working as a contractor and having to go on many different worksites for varied companies I would be required to get a drug test before I could go on the site.
These could be city, town or village water or wastewater, pulp or paper, chemical or petro-chemical and others that needed calibration of various transmitters and controllers.

When I went with "permanent" employment with a pharmaceutical manufacture performing calibrations on equipment used for growth and production of materials for injecting into the human body and severely controlled by FDA regulations.

No drug tests or testing required.
Simply amazing and actually mind boggling.

Good Morning!!!! 59F @ 6:15AM. Abundant sunshine. High 83F. Winds WNW at 5 to 10 mph.

Mr. Fox is outside barking in the new dawn.

Worked just shy of 30 years without ever being tested for drugs, until the day I announced my retirement. No love lost between us...

Got the new toilet valve installed, but had to use a gear puller to remove the old sealing ring from the compression fitting. Then a pair of ViseGrips for the last bit. But new one doesn't leak.

Got a wrong number text message from someone, so texted back to let them know. Got a nice reply apologizing, and it turned out to be from a younger woman that said they worked in D.C. and was from Taiwan. Then she got a little too personal, and I started to wonder if the original message was some kind of scam. Blocked the number, and not long after that another "wrong number" text showed up. Ignored that one; learned my lesson.

Noticed an over voltage warning light on the deep well controller yesterday, and it wasn't the first time I've seen it recently. Called the local utility to report it, and they sent someone out. Yep, even after shutting down the solar power system, still reading over 255VAC. Fellow goes away to check other lines, comes back and said someone else had rebalanced the grid in another spot to cause the problem. They fiddled with it and it came down to 251, 2 volts below the tripping point for the pump controller, but still not right. Good help is hard to find, I guess.

That shot the afternoon in the butt, so no work on the motorcycle. Maybe today.

Happy Hump Day!

Good morning! Low of 46°, heading to 80°. Sunny. Forecast is rinse and repeat until Sat., then a chance of t-storms.

The weather guessers were all excited yesterday....
El Nino was confirmed at 99% probability through the winter. That means cooler and wetter weather for the region. Being we didn't have a monsoon season, the moisture would be welcome

Wng, CONGRATULATIONS! First grandchild. A milestone.

Phil, your work continues to amaze! Beautifully done!

Dennis, that was funny.... I wonder if he was just playing with you? ......

Drew, safe travels back home. Glad you had a good trip...aside from riding out the storm.....

Everyone have a great day!
