yum! that’s a whole lot of uni.
So… dinner at your place?
Aside from how Keany’s slogan nicely rolls off the cerebral tongue, okra may have been chosen because of how it captures what Keany is known for. Here’s a bit of the Keany business history from their website: 1989; The brothers begin a precut facility to fulfill customer demands and stay on the cutting edge (pun intended) of a progressive marketplace. The first few products included snipped green beans and peeled carrots.
Okra, being slimy, can get even slimier if not cut properly, and providing pre-cut produce is what Keany is known for.
From the FIFI company site regarding their ways of working, etc.:
“Our differential: a playful touch”
That’s exactly how balls should be handled… unless the recipient of such attention has other things in mind.
Alrighty, yesterday i did a work related tour i took here in Austin yesterday to look at some new facilities we’re in the middle of installing. I’ve picked some to share:
This is a natural gas city gate. We’re buying gas from a large distributor (seen in baby blue)
Our regulation station is colored in gray
(At a different site) Boring rig, larger than we normally use. It is currently using a reamer to make a 26" hole, and they’ll pull through 20" pipe from the other side
The mud is intended. It is part of how the machine lubricates the… ahem… hole, mud is siphoned, cleaned up and reused.
Other side of the bore
20" steel pipe staged and waiting to be pulled through
At a different site, which wasn’t super interesting in and of itself, i saw this old thing and thought it looked gnarly and cool
Panorama of Austin from a hill by Hwy 183 (ignore the weird cars)
Hold on. See the city skyline? No… enhance… enhance… (took the picture with the telephoto on my S24 Ultra)
I don’t… what? Is. Happening…
I like the curve. It looks like a very happy lamp
“Gotta dance! Gotta dance!”
It looks like it’s readying itself to ask a passerby for the time.
Go home, lamp. You’re drunk.
“…and I’m holdin’ up the lamppost, if you wanna know.”
