Not sure how they do that other than maybe a tripped breaker but that could have tripped during the fire too. |

The upper section of a back-bar wall that I have been working on in an "off and on" situation. It is not complete yet. It gets doors with a wire mesh on the end units, a top plate with crown, and puck lights on each shelf.
There are lower cabinets and an actual bar to go in front, but no pics yet. |

On the right we have our cat. Our plump, lazy cat.
On the left, we have a baby gopher. Lord knows why it crawled out of its hole. And yes, they are just hanging out like nothing is out of the ordinary. :uhmk: Attachment 2093035 |

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
My guess would be the big time natural gas compressors used to push the gas from the mid stream gathering and dehydrating facilities to the end user utility’s. Sometimes these pipelines can go hundreds or even a thousand+ miles. For example, my grandfather worked for Washington gas and light co. For 35 years. One of the sources for DC and the surrounding areas’ natural gas was for a long time, and probably still is from the Gulf of Mexico. Engines such as this likely push the gas thru the pipelines between the gulf and DC.

It may be different between parts of the country but in our neighborhood natural gas powered engines push it along. One pumping station I toured many years ago had 4 huge 3 cylinder engines running. If memory serves me they turned at 150 rpm. That station pumped gas from Arkansas to Mississippi under the Mississippi river.

Originally developed for use in railroad engines, but that didn't work out as planned. They were also promoted for use in marine applications. We had a pair of 3608s (eight cylinder version) in one of the tugs at work. They ended up being unreliable and very expensive to repair. After 11-12 years they were replaced with a pair of EMD's. Video of a 3612 crankshaft being reground. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NlcTr8lqCA The 797's shown above used 3500 engines. The next size down CAT engine series. |

They run on one side and compress on the other, they are actually giant 2 strokes believe it or not. They run a max speed of about 400 Rpms. Ho455, I had a feeling that it was a 36 series but I havent messed with them first hand and didn’t want to speculate. We looked at some 3608’s a few years ago at auction, damn they are expensive to buy and rebuild. We were looking at upwards of 100k for me to rebuild it in house if we went that direction. |

CAT parts are made of solid gold when you go to buy them ;)
