Guys and Gals..had an exceptionally good day today. Called the state boiler
inspector at 8 a.m. and he was here 4 hours later. Had a nice visit for a
couple of hours..thanks to ya'll I didn't come across as a total dummy and
he will be out in a couple days to do the U.T. and map it. He shows great
interest in the steam hobby and does attend some shows and ensure's that
quality control/safety is #1. Suggested I get the fusible link out, didn't
bad mouth the lap seam and swags it as a 20 hp..he'll punch in the numbers
later. He asked me what kind of pressure I'd like to run in it..and
naturally I said max..we had a good laugh. He says 60-80 psi will do
anything I want to do with it in this hobby.
All in all, a GREAT DAY in "The Big Sky."
PS: His pet peaves are the same as mine..iron leaving Montana and concern
about the new generation grabbing hold.
