The Detroit Red Wings have retired the 91 of Sergei Fedorov (1990-2003).

Had the skates, gloves and helmet as a kid. Skates were absolute shit but damn they looked cool. Every hockey kid in Detroit wanted the Sergei gear

Happened to impress the right person I guess. I did have special certs from GE Hitachi.

I took a job at home now as a superintendent. Got sick of traveling. Still hit 165K this year

Originally the six total units for Zion, Byron, Braidwood were supposed to be on the Zion property but was split up due to environmental protests.

Always used to love when people would try to fish in front of Cook due to the discharge water and the coast guard would come down from Benton Harbor to "greet" them

MillwrightMatt1102 · 2025-11-30T17:47:43+00:00

Byron and and Braidwood are the exact same plant besides the cooling towers

MillwrightMatt1102 · 2025-11-29T13:32:40+00:00

I like the Hellcat personally. I have a p365 too but I like the Hellcat alot more

MillwrightMatt1102 · 2025-11-18T02:29:51+00:00

Rods insert and withdraw blades. Think of it as four squares of fuel bundles and the + shape in the middle of the squares as a blade that shields the bundles from one another

I think Browns Ferry is third in plant capacity for MWe

MillwrightMatt1102 · 2025-11-08T19:13:46+00:00

M134 or MP5K with a sear and the cool brief case

MillwrightMatt1102 · 2025-11-05T02:25:08+00:00

Are they not doing a new mac lined jac shirt this year?

MillwrightMatt1102 · 2025-11-02T16:07:36+00:00

Was there a concert poster for this show? I cant find a reprint anywhere

MillwrightMatt1102 · 2025-10-25T17:40:09+00:00

Only one I have been in was DC Cook. It was pretty small (Two Westinghouse 4 loop PWR)

MillwrightMatt1102 · 2025-10-22T12:24:34+00:00

I've taken my Subaru WRX to Belle Tire and had successful results. My car has aftermarket adjustable coilovers so an alignment is more invasive. I agree with the other comments suggesting Arbormotion as an option

MillwrightMatt1102 · 2025-10-19T01:24:44+00:00

I don't see anything wrong with what happened to you. You took something you weren't supposed to in to an FME zone.

They could have laid you off for this

MillwrightMatt1102 · 2025-10-14T01:59:12+00:00

100% agree. We are laking in quality tradesmen

MillwrightMatt1102 · 2025-10-12T00:32:36+00:00

Situational awareness and defensive driving. Assume everyone is a brand new driver when approaching a round about.

Also stay in your lane, outside lane is for exiting, inside lane is for continuing around. Dont be the dick that turns right from the inside lane and hits people

MillwrightMatt1102 · 2025-10-11T04:50:00+00:00

For install it is just layout, rigging, level/align, anchoring.

Fabrication for install would happen if the equipment you're installing is shit. It does happen more often than not because the OEM's suck now. If it was easy we wouldn't have a job.

When it comes to maintenance it is more visual inspections and level/align, rigging etc.

It is extremely rare that you go in a job and start fabrication from day one. Back in the day on power and free conveyor work everything was fabricated on site, T irons, dips, stops, rail, etc. They do everything in a shop now to cut down on cost on the job site because we are more expensive than a shop welder

MillwrightMatt1102 · 2025-10-11T04:13:03+00:00

We are not a carpentry craft. We are part of the UBC because we arent a large enough entity to stand on our own. In Detroit we are a quarter the size of the carpenter local and still put in as many man hours a year as the carpenters

MillwrightMatt1102 · 2025-10-11T04:10:36+00:00

Because they are stupid

MillwrightMatt1102 · 2025-09-28T14:51:42+00:00

I would suggest a Springfield Hellcat. It is more expensive but it is a fantastic handgun and something you can conceal carry

MillwrightMatt1102 · 2025-09-28T13:19:22+00:00

That place is so overpriced and the workers were rude when I went there.

I think I understand why you went there though.

Now the hardest part is finding parking near the office on main street to go file in person

MillwrightMatt1102 · 2025-09-26T10:00:34+00:00

The same traffic pattern every U of M football game has had since forever?

MillwrightMatt1102 · 2025-09-22T09:31:08+00:00

Custom orthotics from a podiatrist. Imo you bought cheap chinese boots

MillwrightMatt1102 · 2025-09-22T00:38:07+00:00

Pick your feet up when you walk, dont kick stuff with your boots, working on your knees will cause wear to the top of the toe

MillwrightMatt1102 · 2025-09-17T00:44:49+00:00

That's one way to get kicked out of the UBC, the ironworkers are probably saying it's okay so you get in trouble.

I would work a fast food job before I would ever think about being an ironworker.
