I'm Off To Egypt

[Bacon]

This pic is of the 1MW generator control cabinet for one of the genys that the camp runs on when incoming mains is lost.

I have rewired this 1 as  2contactors and 3 timers were U/S also the wiring was all burnt up and insulation was breaking off.

I did try and order some contactors and timers for the other 5 genys but all parts are obsolete and it's a long winded procces to order different parts.

How is the work going?

 

[Bacon]

Work going well doing monthly PM's and testing on sub-stations and generators.

We may be getting some new generators we have recommended they purchase 3x3MW caterpillar generators as a the moment we run 4x1MW when we have a power outage.

Hi bacon, more to the point how are things for yourself? I heard that there were 30 or so soldiers killed at a check point by Muslim extremists? Thought that you are not to far away?

 

[Blue Duck]

Hi bacon.

Glad you are safe and well wouldn't worry too much about us here were still in the same old mess, that's never gonna change.

 

[Bacon]

It was only about 5 miles away from the camp,

I heard the bomb go off it was last Friday afternoon about 14.30 in the afternoon in total 30 with the bomb then 3 more at checkpoint about an hour later gun and RPG attack.

The Egyptian army are levelling the whole area more or less and they are creating a 500 yard buffer zone between Rafah border at the Gaza Strip and creating a canal some 9 miles long and upto 25 meters deep 50 meters wide.

As for me all is well

 

[Bacon]

Happy New Year to everyone hope all is well.

[Bacon]

[Sharpend]

Glad to hear it's all well out there thou, they've had a fair bit of trouble.

Happy new year to you too!

 

[Bacon]

Yes a fair bit close to the camp and the general area around it from a group called  (Ansar Beit al-Maqdis) the local Jihadists.

 

[Sharpend]

Nice! Electrified fence on the quiet around camp was it?!

Can't imagine what it's like out there, but the works got to be interesting? Bet you've not seen pvc mini trunking in a while or your worried about plastic consumer units spontaneously catching fire!?
