Multiple backups on the site and the load was probably transferred elsewhere as it occurred. . I'm sure they have spinning standby going all over

For those that have never done it the Hoover Dam tour is well worth the time. Very cool, I do not know if they still do them or not?

Some Hoover Dam info from The Bureau of Reclamation.
I am told that my great grandmother ran a cook shack for the LA Dept of Water and Power's crews as they installed the transmission lines across the desert to LA

LOL Maybe on our driest winter days
At least we don't get many of those 100's. Pair that with our humidity would be deadly

One of my adventures to Famoso they had Junior Dragsters. Those engines that slightly resembled a Briggs and Stratton had no problem smokin' those 10" wide tires
The drought is only part of the problem too. Even in a wet year, the consumption rate of the Colorado river was such that even in a wet year, they were using more than it’d replenish. We studied that in college 10 years ago now. I remember being shocked to learn that at the time, no water from the Colorado river was getting to the Pacific ocean
And there are quantities that have to cross over into Mexico as well.
I lived in the Colorado river valley near Somerton, AZ. The water board was serious and gauged everything very closely. My pasture was flood irrigated and required a lot of coordination
I saw something a while back that they were doing something to farmers using water from the Colorado river but I forget what. I’m gonna go look
Thats what i call good to the last drop!

3 plugs out, 3 plugs stuck. Only been likely 100,000 miles since they were changed. So this puts a damper on this job. Im going to go cut grass or nap or something.
