[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 2790882, member: 91783"] Going way off the subject of coyotes. I was working as a certified welder on pressure piping and vessels, boiler tubing and rotating equipment. I got tasked with putting abrasive resistant weld beads on a fans blading, the fan was 10 foot in diameter and turned at 1750 RPM when it was up to speed, I took my time and laid out my weld pattern followed the preheat and post heat procedures. Made a nice-looking job of it, the guy that came in after my night shift was over laughed at me told me what a fool, I was for being so precise about it and proceeded to just haphazardly lay rod to it. They then tried to run it up to balance it, it was way out of balance plus because the welding procedures hadn't been followed there were cracks in the blades that they didn't notice. It nearly got up to speed before it came apart a large piece of it severed a main steam line on the boiler that was at 2500 pounds of 850-degree steam. It killed the other welder, the balancer and an electrician. I had served with the electrician when I was in the Navy, so I knew him well. I also knew the other two well. Again, I was reinforced with the fact that there are times to be OCD and times that you don't have to be the last words that Tye spoke to me were I like working with you because you know when to work hard and when to f8903-off.
