Doing well.
As you would expect it is hot as can be. We have been very busy fixing water main breaks. The Kuwaiti pump house that provides water to most of the base has a small jockey pump that is around 90 to 100 GPM, we use around 130 GPM. This causes the 560GPM pump to kick in. The pressure goes from 1.5 Bar to 7.5 Bar in about 2 seconds. The flow goes from around 4.3 f/second to 8.5 f/second. The surge is unreal.
The Kuwaiti answer is to put in stronger pipe and thrust blocks. LOL.
Working on getting new frequency drive pumps that will modulate on demand.
Good to hear from you. No rockets here, just a lot of work.

I am very glad to hear you are doing well. Somehow I am not surprised with the Kuwati engineering you are working with. Slap it together, keep it running with band-aids and bubble gum, and hope for the best ( One team, one fight, HUA ). Sorry wrong country , wrong base.
Is there anything you need Bud? Just give the word ( and your mailing address )and goodies will be on the way. I see you got your tech stripes on, good for you!! Nice difference in pay! All the boys up here at the 109th said to say hello.
Keep us updated Joey. Take it easy, Darin
