West Virginia Coal

Boy! When the weather gets bad the coal mines get really muddy. Spent some time this week at a coal prep plant here in WV and mud is up to your ankles. They are still loading trains though and that means they are still mining coal. Maybe not as much as they are used to but the power plants still need something to burn. And beside, all that mud keeps the dust down. These guys were using slugging wrenches on their mechanism bolts and had a guy who was holding the wrench get his finger smashed with a 16# hammer. TorcUP tools are cheap.

Haiti

We here at TorcUP of WV are thinking about our friend Dorothy who runs an orphanage in Haiti. While Dorothy and her kids and her house are OK the next few weeks and months are unknown and chaotic at best. No food, the grocery stores are gone, no money, cashed checks at grocery store, no medicines, hospitals are gone, no fuel for generator and no power from Haiti. The orphanage is called Faith Hope Love Infant Rescue in Port au Prince. If you feel you can help you can go to Faith Hope Love Infant Rescue on Facebook Causes and donate. The money goes directly to her through the Christian Light Foundation which supports her. There are alot of needs but I just know this one personally.

As we begin a new year the TorcUP team is looking for bolting problems everywhere. I wonder if Oboma has any bolts in his teleprompter. It appears to be broken since he never comes out immediatly to talk to us. Maybe we need to talk to his maintenance people.
Problems with maintenance affect production and that affects what you sell and that affects how much money you can make. When production people and maintenance people work as a team to maintain reliability then everyone makes more money. Hydraulic bolting tools can increase efficiency and save time in repairs, help eliminate down time and help you MAKE MORE MONEY. Keep the bolts turning.
