New in North Carolina

[Old Steamer]

Hello everyone. A little about me...

Married 18 years, raising 2 children and have been a power plant operator for 34 years. My interests are mid-60's Pontiacs and Oldsmobiles, old steam engines, old tools/farm equipment and of late raising kids!

Thanks for having me!

The Roxboro Plant located on Lake Hyco.

Started out years ago as Carolina Power and Light, then about 2000 we became Progress Energy and as of last July we are Duke. It's 4 units, 2450 mw, all with SCRs and all with wet scrubbers. I spent 28 years in the Unit Control Room, 2 1/2 years with Lockout/Tagout and the last 3 1/2 years in the Scrubber Control Room.

All in all, an enjoyable 34 years.

Hello Tim. Are you really a power plant operator or a youtube surfer?

Welcome to Garage Journal. See you at work.

 

[Old Steamer]

Hello Matt. I guess I've been outed...one of my You Tube surfing finds.

Hey...what are you doing on GJ at 0319 in the morning anyway? I thought you were on nightshift. Maybe the clock on your PC at home is off a bit...

I'm looking forward to the next tailgate swapmeet!
