Dear Fellow Technicians, Don't be Dicks!

This will be  a brief one. I just had to write a $344 bill to my best client because the previous service provider was an ass. Here in Canada, everything works in celcius, except, for some reason, Glycol Chiller settings.  It isn't that we CANT use Celcius, we just dont.  Why? Cant say. Maybe because all the beer knowledge manuals work with Feregnheit. Regardless, fine.  I  ame up in the business in The Greater Los Angeles Area, so I work comfortably in both scales.  
However, what we need to remember, especially because most of the temp control units are made in Italy and China, is that when we switch to Feregnheit from Celcius,  we also need to change the differential to 4° instead of the factory fefault of 2°. A 2°F Differential causes compressors to cycle too often and for too short a time. 
Secondly, if you set a password on a temp control, use the industry standard password of 22, or something pertinent to the business, or the manufacturer default password.  Do not do what my predecessor did, which is set 2 different,  random passwords on 3 different units. Serious Dick Move, Mike!. I hope you shit yourself during your next line pull, you self important schmuck.  

Peace and Blessings.
Dan B.

Michael A. Broaddus and who he is to me.

  My brother, Michael, is a person of immense heart.   I will take some care to continue to say “is”, as opposed to was.  I know and accept that his body has ceased to be the vessel of his spirit, but everything that he is, and loves, and wishes to protect is very much alive.  This includes his chosen and found family, which happens to include much of his blood family.  This includes his wife, Michelle.  Despite recent struggles and conflict, which so many adult relationships face over time, he never expressed anything other than esteem, respect, a deep and abiding gratitude, and deep love for the woman who gave him many gifts.  Especially those of his children, Cole and Damien.  I was going to mention his Work, Church and his SCA family, but you are all included in the Chosen family.  With Mike, if you let him love you, he loves you.  And he always loves you.  He might get angry with you, or feel deeply hurt by you.  He m...

GETTING CUSTOMER SERVICED[Yes, that kind of Serviced] and Complaining ad an art form.

     A week or two ago, a Customer reached out to me with a product inquiry, about a CO2 gas regulator.  They wanted to know how much gas it could move.  This is, in my opinion, a pretty simple, fundamental question about any commercial-grade, Mechanical device: what sort of performance can I get out of this item?  Will it do what I need it to do?       Most technical questions are not new.  Someone has already done the math and/or the science.  Someone has the data.  Someone engineered the device to perform to a particular set of parameters[we hope].  I thought " I should just call the manufacturer, and ask.  My counterpart there will surely be able to rattle this off, by heart, or have the data readily at hand."   Buckle up.  I thought wrong, on several levels.     First, this manufacturer was somewhat recently acquired by a large conglomerate.  The informational insert, that came wit...
