It takes me half the summer to catch up from days like today. lol

Right now were pushing 13,000 gallons a minute through the plant. 😯 Normal is around 2100 gpm.
Southern California better thank us for all this water we are treating to send to them. 👿

Does the level of treatment at higher volumes stay the same as when there are lower volumes?

This weather gets a full suck. We still don't have power at the house. Work was a zoo on Friday. 18" of snow at my house. The transmission on the Ford hates pushing through the stuff and is puking fluid like crazy at this point. Bring on spring!

I guess you are still going the cruiser route, but I saw a nice 01 Tacoma off of Greenback for sale. I bet it would do just fine in the cold weather/snow!

Definitely haven't decided on a rig yet. If it's a double cab, snap a picture or grab a phone number!

Yes, it is a double cab. It's that maroon color and looks like a limited because the flares are the same color.
I only saw that it was an 01. I didn't see a price and I have no idea what they book out at.

Can I say it again...this weather still sucks. We still don't have power. Everyone around us has power, but here is a problem with our individual service/transformer. They have no estimated time to get it back. 🙁 Keep your eyes open for a used generator. I'm looking for something at least 6kW 240V so I can run my well pumps.

They're all over the map. I've seen a couple with really low miles (30k) around $20k and one with about 150k miles around $10k.

$750. What's your price range?

I think I also saw a 4KV unit for about $300.

I haven't landed on a price yet. I have to look into a transfer switch and with the way my house is wired it could cost me as much as the generator. 🙄 I'm also debating a multi-fuel unit. Would be nice to be able to run it off my propane tank. I've heard good things about those generac units, but I think I can get one locally and save on shipping.

One of my employees has a generac unit. It is a self contained system that she converted to dual fuel. She also runs it off propane but has the gas (I don't think it's diesel) back up.

Now that the power is back on (after 116 hours, but, hey, who's counting) I figured I'd post a picture of the snow (mainly for Alex) and the sweet rig they used to fix the transformer. Our individual transformer blew so we were way down on the fix it list. Thanks to PAR Electrical Contractors who actually did the work. Kelly followed them until they stopped and begged them to fix our service when all of our neighbors had power. PG&E was more worried about paperwork. 🙄 I've got a bunch of big branches hung up in trees. Any Posse members want to bring their toy bow and arrows and see if we can get a rope around them to get them down. lol

Pretty close. I guess the 20 hour shifts caught up to me and I am sick as a dog right now. 😥 😥

So who is officially in charge of making it spring? This was our third weekend in a row without power. At least my power bill will be low. lol
