PotD – Fault Verification

Part of this gig involves mass quantities of rent metal, discarded cables, and components with innards crushed asunder. Standards are met in the factory, careful laser-cut styrofoam inserts cradle during transit, and thick kevlar shielding insulates each part so each part can stand proudly and claim to be “ruggedized” or “mil-spec.”

Yet metals clash, pins fuse, and shorts surface. I’ll pick up a part and note thick scoring where a leatherman bit in to the soft metal of a port connector, or pin out a perfectly good looking cable only to discover the invisible sickness within.

Mundane? Sure. Expected? Of course. Each part has a little story though, and it’s my job to tell it.

I’m back here now. This time there’s standing water.

Same vehicles, though.
