Loved seeing this on my local store’s IG. IH in Utah would be awesome. Hope it works out. The owner is real cool.

Helen was lovely - I spoke with her for about an hour. Assuming she's game, it will happen

Looks like this might be a good year for a certain Belgian…

In Colombia they have meat banana splits.

Plantain with grilled chicken, beef, and sausage?

I would crush that.  Please tell me it was good…

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Yeah it was really good. May have been a little rich. I had to wash the plantain down with beer. It was fried in butter and tasted like a sweet potato.  Not too shabby.

Preparing for Icepocalypse '19. Currently -10°F and expected to reach -30 tonight/tomorrow 

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

What area is that? I could go for some ice.

@Filthy

Minnesota. But, a good portion of the midwest will be affected

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Stay warm. Sending some heat and humidity you way.

Here, in the Milwaukee area, we are expected to have low temps in the -20F - -25F range, with windchills approaching -60F, for the next 2 days. I'll be feeling the chill with you.

@Filthy what do you do for work if you don't mind me asking?  Just curious because it seems that you're always sent to random and cool places around the world for your job.

I work for a contractor that services heat transfer tubes.

Basically I work on these things. I clean the scale (from circulating water) or product out of them increasing the heat transfer back to original specification. Also I test and repair them, pull the tubes out with heavy machinery and replace them. Sometimes they are so bad I use this big drill rig and drill them out. These exchangers are often massive and 30+ feet long.

Most of the time I work on the condenser in power plants.

I can't post any pictures of my equipment, at least I don't think I can.
