Happened to a friend of mine about 5 years ago, burnt his whole barn down and everything in it, they nailed it down to a battery trickle charger on a ATV.

Not sure how they do that other than maybe a tripped breaker but that could have tripped during the fire too.

I cant imagine that happening hope he had everything insured

This is why all my cars the battery gets disconnected and the power off to the barn . I also dont grind or weld indoors either just too much can go wrong .

We got called to a wild fire some years ago, that was started by an old snowmobile sitting outside. Supposedly mice built a nest on the battery and shorted it out, providing lots of kindling.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’

The upper section of a back-bar wall that I have been working on in an "off and on" situation. It is not complete yet. It gets doors with a wire mesh on the end units, a top plate with crown, and puck lights on each shelf.
There are lower cabinets and an actual bar to go in front, but no pics yet.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’

On the right we have our cat. Our plump, lazy cat.

On the left, we have a baby gopher. Lord knows why it crawled out of its hole.

And yes, they are just hanging out like nothing is out of the ordinary.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’

My guess would be the big time natural gas compressors used to push the gas from the mid stream gathering and dehydrating facilities to the end user utility’s. Sometimes these pipelines can go hundreds or even a thousand+ miles. For example, my grandfather worked for Washington gas and light co. For 35 years. One of the sources for DC and the surrounding areas’ natural gas was for a long time, and probably still is from the Gulf of Mexico. Engines such as this likely push the gas thru the pipelines between the gulf and DC.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’

It may be different between parts of the country but in our neighborhood natural gas powered engines push it along. One pumping station I toured many years ago had 4 huge 3 cylinder engines running. If memory serves me they turned at 150 rpm. That station pumped gas from Arkansas to Mississippi under the Mississippi river.

Originally developed for use in railroad engines, but that didn't work out as planned. They were also promoted for use in marine applications. We had a pair of 3608s (eight cylinder version) in one of the tugs at work. They ended up being unreliable and very expensive to repair. After 11-12 years they were replaced with a pair of EMD's.

The 797's shown above used 3500 engines. The next size down CAT engine series.

KB. Does your German Shepherd go nuts when you go out? Mine goes ballistic when we go out. I guess they call it separation anxiety. All I know is that he loses it. And he always knows when we're leaving. He runs around and throws a fit. I do take him out a lot, but I can't take him everywhere. He scares people.He's a big boy.

Sounds like they could be Ajax compressors or similar. We’ve got a bunch of them...
They run on one side and compress on the other, they are actually giant 2 strokes believe it or not. They run a max speed of about 400 Rpms.

Ho455, I had a feeling that it was a 36 series but I havent messed with them first hand and didn’t want to speculate. We looked at some 3608’s a few years ago at auction, damn they are expensive to buy and rebuild. We were looking at upwards of 100k for me to rebuild it in house if we went that direction.

wow, sounds a lot like Fritz.. he just turned two so he is calming down some.. but definitely prefers human company and does not like staying home by himself.. thankfully tho he doesn't destroy the house while we're out.. he's about 85lbs and while very playful with us, his bark is deep and he's not afraid of strangers

Yeah. Duke has quite a bark too. I have a long driveway and have found UPS and Fedex packages about half way down it. I guess that's as close as the driver wanted to get to the house. My gardener is scared to death of him. But nobody's breaking into my house anytime soon. Duke is on the case. And I have .357 other reasons
