GCC Pueblo

[grim]

So here I am at GCC cement plant in pueblo on my iPhone I'm waiting for these guys to bring me a torch so I can take these couplings off and im bored so. I'll be in shitty pueblo all week most likely working from 7am till god knows when but if anyone is in pueblo that wants to grab some grub one of these days or whatever let me know. Or if anyone wants me to take some snapshots of the local meth heads I can do that, didn't see too many on my way in this morning as it was pretty cold but they are out there.

[grim]

Oh yea and #1 townie i think your in the springs but either way

Check out Do Drop Inn for some good pizza (kind of the highlight of my 2 years of school there)

[madvlad]

Dunkin' donuts on the way back son!

[grim]

I found a Irish pub had some kickass irish nachos with some corned beef n cabbage!

Lambeau can you give me the address?

[LambeauXLIV]

1201 South Santa Fe Avenue, Pueblo, CO

It's on the corner of Santa Fe and Mesa.

I also recommend ordering a fresh pizza; sometimes they have a buffet, but it never seemed to taste as good.

[grim]

Weather today is making my job fun as everything I'm doing is outside

[mdub]

at least it is not too cold...

[grim]

at least it is not too cold...

Yea if you are standing behind a wall where the wind isn't kicking your ass.

The plant is open to allow the wind to pass through so im constantly battling that and I'm handling steel parts and my tools so my hands freeze up immediately. This hour in my truck (my lunch break) is like heaven.

[grim]

Oh yea and my jacket smells like it was ass raped by a garbage truck!

Just out of pure curiosity what do you do for a living that you are stuck in Pueblo for a week at a cement plant?

[spdu4ia]

Oh yea and my jacket smells like PUEBLO!

fixed :silly:

I work on AC and DC electric motors and gearboxes for major manufacturing facilities. This cement Plant is on a 1 month outage to overhaul all Of its equipment. Down here I am working on 8 gear boxes that are bigger than trucks and my hours are from 6am to 6pm so it's easier to stay here rather than drive 4 hours.

[grim]

fixed :silly:

Good call

[grim]

You know you've been working in cold weather when today's high at the plant was 35 and it felt warm.

This morning at 6am when I started it was eight degrees.

[mdub]

that is what they say....it is the coldest just as the sun is coming up..

should post a video of your job.

[grim]

Fucking cold today

Mdub I was thinking of mounting my gopro on my hardhat but not sure if the plant will let me.

I took a bunch of pics yesterday had to go to the top of the raw material elevator bucket tower about 385 feet high I'll post em tonight when I get back home.

This week I'm inspecting the large units so I'm able to work from 7 to 4 but what sucks is I'm driving 4 hours every day leave at 5am to get to pueblo at 7 then leave pueblo at 4 to get home at 6.

[mdub]

yea mount it ....if they ask...tell them in case i get injured its documented....heheheh...pics are cool too...

[#1Townie]

yeah last year about 3am i was hooking a car and looked at temp on my phone it said -17. then when i looked it up there was a wind chill of -27. dealing with steal parts in that temp SUCKS!

im just happy at most im out in the cold for about 30 min. stay warm.

Ill put descriptions later i need to eat first.

also mdub i snuck in a video showing how light and fine the raw material is for cement ill post it on youtube tonight.

[mdub]

right on.....

[grim]

Ok descriptions will have to be another day I'm too damn tired and I have to be up at 4:30am

However here is the video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpMkfGhdrhE&feature=youtube_gdata_player

This video is at the top of the raw material silo/dome where the material is gathered and stored to be mixed with the finished product to make concrete. It's very very fine and as you can see in the video it's freaking everywhere. It's next to impossible to not get it into your eyes and mouth because once its brushed into the air it hangs around for awhile before settling.

[grim]

Doesn't seem to be as cold this morning might catch a break from being able to see steam come off my own piss.

[mdub]

Looks like a great place for a horror movie.

What would you consider that, similar to mining?

[salsashark]

After re-explaining the proxy issues we're having to the 4th helpdesk person this morning, I needed some creative therapy...

so I tilted one of your pics.

kthxbye

They do mine here, but it's called above ground mining the quarry is in one of the pictures I posted.

[salsashark]

:lol: guess that was kind of out of left field...

I was waiting for the caffeine to kick in.

[grim]

Mdub I recorded a video of me hiking up a shotload of stairs to the top of the fished product silos about 280 feet up

[grim]

K here is the video of me climbing up too many damn stairs it may not be done processing but i suggest watching it in 960p

:king: Good one. Thanks for sharing.

I think elevators at industrial sites are probably the most unreliable thing ever. I remember being at a plant in TX where the elevator broke down so often, they had someone to sit in it and use a paintbrush to keep dirt and debris out of the door track so it could continue operating. Every stop they were down there brushing out the door track. Worked, but what a shitty job.

Yea he was actually just joking there is no elevator for those silo's. The only elevator GCC has is to go to the top of the bucket elevator which is 385 feet up. Which coincidentally is where i will be working all day tomorrow as i found a gearbox that needs repair work to be done on it.

[grim]

Well kids I am going to be at what they call "the top of world" which is the top of the bucket elevator for the raw mill working on the gearbox that sits 385 feet in the air. All day tomorrow so my question to you is are there any special requests while I'm up that high?

[mdub]

throw something lg and go pro it...
