winding down
I spent this morning cleaning the head and packing the deep freezer. If the weather doesn't play merry hell with travel plans for my relief, I will be on the last train to Boston tomorrow night, there to reunite with my family, spend a couple of days visiting, then drive back with the wife and kid to my home in south Florida over the course of a couple of days.

Sorta OT, do you know what endorsements are going to be needed to refuel those new LNG powered vessels?
Just wondering, I retired and let my MMD expire.
Thanks
Forgot to add that I am not looking to renew.
With that LNG the no smoking and non-sparking tool rules will really have to be enforced.
Jon, the STCW stuff got revamped and some new shit came into force this year. So far as I know, the PIC stuff will require a new tankerman class and endorsement, and there are, I believe subdivisions now for Dangerous liquids and cryogenic/liquified gases.
LNG is still a bit unwieldy without a lot of infrastructure here, but I think that the tax breaks and green street cred will help it to survive the current low oil prices.
I daw my 1st idiots of 2016... 5 minutes into the new year.
A couple families drove out onto the field next to my place and started setting off fireworks. The flaming debris fell onto the roof of a small oilfield shack. This one contains a meter and a regulator unit that takes 1350 psig gas and drop it to 80 psi and 720 psi as it goes into two smaller pipelines. The fenced yard around said building is class 1 div2. Which means there is a good chance of wxplosive mixtures present.
Yes I got involved. It wasn't even their land. My neighbour farms that piece but lives down a mile.

Holy shit. Kaboom. Jon reminded me how complacent I've become too, with sparking tools and other details too.
I work in the patch around natural gas systems. Class 1 Div 1 or 2 tools are very expensive. $100 for a flashlight. 10k for an intrinsicly safe laptop. Etc
