So...I'm in Louisville.

I'm going to learn to drag chemicals around. In a tanker.

Orientation starts in the morning, then I go back to my affiliate terminal for OJT, and hopefully don't kill myself or fall into a giant tank of MethylEthylBadShit in the meantime.

Good luck with training!

I've been learning little by little. My biggest fear is imploding the tank, but I'm fascinated by tankers. Sometimes I try to sneak into our orientation classes here and there, but usually they frown upon heels around the tankers. LOL

My biggest fear is imploding the tank,

You'll learn not to plant ideas in @Sinister s mind like that. Duck once mentioned going for a swim and well.............

 

[Sunnie Lynn]

LOL but there's videos on youtube. It's fascinating.


I'm sure my employer would not be pleased with my fascination with this. They don't let me near the equipment much anyways. LOL
"Why does your internet history show imploding tankers? Should we be worried?"

Is that a gay joke?!

You go be an Ass clown on your own thread.

Otherwise I may have to take you for a ride.


A ride?........I don't even know what the feck that means, I just read that somewhere......





Bet you don't even vape.

 

[Tazz]

Bet you don't even vape.

Depends on what I ate for dinner last night.

Wait the wife said those were deadly vapors......never mind


I have no idea what you have going on with your holes and hoses. Just remember to wear your rubbers, practice safe pumping eerrr dumping

my last job I had as a process engineer was working with chemical baths. Both acid and base.

Had to make a chemical bath on one of the processes and it used just simple H2O2. Hydrogen peroxide. at a 96% concentration level.

Considering that the stuff you buy at your friendly drug store is only like 3% concentration.

Spilt some on my shoes one day. Thank god I had a garden hose near my hand. and it wasn't even a lot.

Peroxide LOVES organic material. It will burn you bad fast.

Know what happens when you accidently mix bleach and formaldehyde? Almost cost me a dairy barn full of cows and a Kiwi student.

Accidentally?!! What are ya doing....running a mortuary in your laundry room?

He was setting up the hoof baths. Normally you drain them, wash them out (when cows hit water they poop) and refill them on an alternating basis of copper sulfate or formaldehyde.

My night crew washed the wall every Friday night with bleach. They figured instead of mixing up 10 buckets they would just fill a hoof bath.

My student thought it was just water and dumped ten gallons of formaldehyde into a bath of sodium hypochlorite.

Luckily we had Big Ass Fans

And the turbo fans to move heat out of the barn. We drug him outside and hosed him down he was breathing on his own thankfully. Had a spate of respiratory problems in that herd for a couple months. Probably cost us 15 lbs a day out of that herd that year.

After that we had some stricter policies on chemicals, foot baths, and respirators.

Chemicals ain't no joke. That's one of the biggest problems we have with the "new breed" of recruits. You can tell em over and over. They're yeah, yeah, I know "old guy". Then they go do something stupid when they're on their own.
