Mike is currently rotting in a shallow grave, but he said he'd be working on Orchid next.

That's it...fuckers.

No dead, might be soon. Stuck in an engine room working on a leaking antifreeze system. Room is around 110 ferinhight and stinks of old processed oil.

No work tonight though. My day trip to Lake Erie has been held up by the aforementioned issues and other minor setbacks.

But yea, code orchid is the next story up for work.

Working in a horrible engine room build character.

I'm always in the mood for a beer and an adventure after crawling around a pair of revved-up Cummings or being stuck in a bilge behind a generator, between a bulkhead and a bunch of spinning pain.

Like I said, rotting in a shallow grave. Never said you were dead....

That describes exactly where I was. Two desiel volvo enigines in a cramped engine room with a bilge full antifreeze and oil. I like working with the stuff, but damn was it hot and smelly. Less then ideal situation made a fun job difficult and frustrating.

Is build character, but is not fun. Beer made it better.

I certainly know them feels of the antifreeze. It used to take us hours to winterize until we made a rig up and got new hoses, cleaned the fittings up, etc.

I'm still not certain if being in the hole is worse when it's hot or cold. 'Cause when it's hot it's humid and stinks of fucking everything and you can't wipe sweat from your brow without getting covered in engine shit. When it's cold and you're down there, you're either dealing with a leak or antifreeze or something else wet and all the hoses and wires associated with it.

Nothing like cleaning up 30+ gallons of diesel out of one compartment before climbing in the engine room to drown in cheap antifreeze.

I like you, you know them boat/ship feels.

If I had to choose between a cold or hot engine room, I'd go with the cold one. I'm about 260-270 pounds and hold heat like nobodies business.

Winterizing is a pain, but I did get beer out of the ordeal.

Aw fuck, man.

It takes a anorexic midget to work on a boat. Of which, I am neither.

At least you got a beer out of it.
