I know this really doesn’t mean anything to anyone so I’ll just put it like this: The red is bad. This is good to know, and it will be good to know that we can check things so that bad stuff doesn’t happen again. Hindsight is a very good thing, but it would be cheaper and, well, better if I could have seen this coming before hand. The trouble with experience is that it generally has to be gained the hard way.
It’s a short post today. I’ve got stuff to do.
Peace out.

"It rolls off the tongue, but don't let the name fool you, this blog exposes the adventures and mis-adventures of life in Edmonton as a engineer who works on sewer repair." Shouldn't it be an engineer rather than a engineer?
The picture is very cool. Is it a picture of the liner that split? Is is it a thermal picture? New equipment to check the liner with? In any case I'm glad that you saved the day, although not at all surprised. I'm sure I can speak for everyone else in saying that we knew it would be you who would find a way to make everything better.
Please do not post anonymously. It creeps me out.
Unfortunately that day was not even close to being saved. The picture is of where and how the thing failed.
I will strive to redeem myself by ensuring things don't happen again. The truth is, engineers only get noticed when stuff goes horribly wrong; more often than you'd think.

There's my two bits...good luck!
