I used to do weeks on call as an electrician in an ethanol field. Anything that prevented them from moving product was considered an emergency. Got calls at all hours. Loved working at that facility but do not miss the on call shifts one bit.
Yes Sir, South East Queensland to be exact.

Well yes, technically That IS an ethanol field.I don't want to hijack the thread, but what's an ethanol field? What came to mind:
The one I worked at was a tank farm (I can see the next picture you're sending me already) where they store ethanol, gas, jet fuel and other fuel products. Comes in by train or barge, gets stored in large tanks, and gets shipped out on tanker ships and trailer trucks.

Odd that something a person loved causes something that same person dislikes. I worked at a corn processing plant and like you said, anything that halts product moving is an all hands in deck emergency. When you are the "all hands" it makes for long days. Still miss the plant though
Where I was at it meant no plans with the family, no plans for holidays, no plans for events. In exchange, you might get a call and get some good OT. A lot of the time it was sitting on your hands for a week, for an extra $50.00 in your check. The guys that worked there didnt get any stipend. Got paid the same as guys who couldnt pass a BCI or a drug test.... normal days, working with great guys, being outside all year round in all types of weather, doing crazy projects, home by 330 most days... who wouldnt miss that?
Stripers should be running in Cape Cod right now. I haven't been saltwater fishing in almost 10 years.Went surf fishing at Atlantic Beach late yesterday afternoon, used this late Buck 121 Fisherman as a bait knife. This one is stiffer than the four spacer models, but not as thick as the later Guide models. OH
Man, long time away from the surf! OHI haven't been saltwater fishing in almost 10 years.
That makes more senseWell yes, technically That IS an ethanol field.

Used to go for scup and tautog (blackfish). Every once in a while we'd get stripers. Used to live right near the bay and would go after work or on Sunday mornings. Amazing what a 12 mile move inland will do to your fishing habits. Now it's all trout, steelies and bass. Or what ever else you can pull out of thr lake river or pond.
Thanks mate!
