can we say long day..

Yep. Got up early, got gas, arrived before 8am.. tx off, aux on.  Since 5:30a. I had Master Control switch back to the main.. did it wrong, off air..tried again.  Up and working.. 10 min tripped off again.. on.. a few more off.. so went back to the aux .and I went to the transmitter site.

I was supposed to meet with the city water department at 9:30.. 

I turned on the Backup.. setup a laptop to the backup, using the front lan port.. installed remote software and tested it. We have control. 

I texted Mike F and asked for suggestions. He called me back.

He said he had a contact at tech support..and will get someone to call me. He did say.. I need to switt off the main. It could be causing damage.

So I put the backup on and it was working well. 

Tech support called me and we looke at logs and retuned the exciters and he said we need to visually examine the lines and switches and purposed it may have been a humidity issue caused by the different temps and issues we have had. Now we have arcing and it will continue and get worse.

So up and running.. the water department guy, never came by.. i contacted the site mgr, and he said they have been there all morning.. and was in the parking lot now.. i went out..and he said, im searching for the leak. I dont need access to your building. 

Im so glad it wasnt a waste.of time. 

In the meantime i figured out the gui issue with the backup transmitter.. it had the same network address as the replace rack Computer.. fixed that.. now we have remote control!

..

Now I have to inform the management.. and ask whats next

.

When I get back..the engineer that Mike emailed yesterday, calls me

. After explanations..he offers to call the corp eng mgr and start the process to get a tech out to work on this. Many emails and phone calls later. We are waiting for pricing and availability..

Plus I had another repeating water leak and had to reboot a set display computer..

..

The car project..

The replacement shock and the other new one are for a different year..not the one im fixing

So I waited a week for nothing

And I cannot find decent priced replacements..so.. tomorrow I am just gonna reassemble the car and move on..

I will do the struts another time.

Unless I find a kit and assemble them my self for under $300.

...

The month is nearly over..next week im covering for Mark wed thru Fri..

Early morning shifts and  zip trip..

Gonna be an a series of early long days.

..

Boy do I need a vacation....
