  • No, I’m just not part of the Hamilton club. He’s an incredible driver, but his attitude sucks. In most people’s eyes he can do no wrong. Virtual safety car gave him the easier overtake with Sainz. Sainz less than a second behind Hamilton he’s already wanting Leclarc to swap, lap 36? He is past Leclarc late lap 38? So I see a full 2 laps of trying to figure out tires and Sainz before saying go ahead. The whole time Hamilton making shitty remarks, meanwhile Leclarc’s tires were improving. He was defending against Sainz(which allowed Hamilton an easier pass), pre vsc, and is now pulling away. The give it back was only fair…and he did cry about that one. That wasn’t a burn to the pit wall, it was a hissy fit that he had to give the position back.


  • Because he, Lewis, had DRS he was able to gain on Leclarc? Once he was past Leclarc he didn’t have it and then Charles was on his tail, telling him to speed up because now he was stuck. They wanted to run calculations to see if Hamilton was given the lead would he make it…or will Leclarc’s tires would come around and be able to beat Hamilton in the long run because Hamilton’s tires will only be great for 4-5 more laps? I think they, Ferrari, need some help with strategy but I just saw it as Hamilton frustrated and having a hissy fit that he wasn’t just given what he thought he was due right when he asked for it. Maybe he can wear another one of those rockstar fluffy jackets to the track…make sure everyone swoons over his style.

    Proof...

    Can't deny this one.



  • This may not sound like much for someone that doesn’t know how involved a fire alarm can be but …Lightning had struck a large chain hotel and blown up the fire alarm at 5pm or so. By 11pm I had a temporary fire panel installed, temporarily wired, bare minimally programmed and communicating with a central station enough that the guests were safe for almost a week until the actual manufacturer representative could do a full repair. Parts used were a different manufacturer that shouldn’t be able to “talk” with the intelligent field devices. Most parts were used spares I had in my truck. Customer was thrilled. Most guys would have just thrown up their hands, said it’s dead, notified the fire department and went to sleep.

    The fire alarm industry has provided me many days with a sense of accomplishment. It’s the best part of the job.
