Happy New Year! We are back once again after the podcast studio was taken down. It is the 11th day of Christmas which is the Pipers Piping. I don't know much about Pipers or piping. I think we'll have some application still. Btw- It is Steve Kowbel's birthday, if you know him reach out and tell why you love him.

The music on the podcast is from John Nugent. John is a Chicagoland area musician who has been a real blessing to Tabor Church.  

Recently, ROADS TAKEN sat down to talk with Josh Marks about how his life has been full of happenstances that finally led him to meaningful work within independent schools. What we didn't talk about was his role as college bagpiper. Join Leslie Jennings Rowley as she talks to Josh about how he got into the bagpipes, how it's kept him connected to the college, and what evolution he's seen going back to campus twice a year for the last quarter century. Then, stick around for a special treat to musical tribute to our class and anyone who has called Dartmouth home on this special Bagpiping Bonus Episode of ROADS TAKEN.

Executive Producer/Host:Leslie Jennings Rowley

Opening Music: Clancy Rowley on a theme by Worth Rowley

Closing Music: Dear Old Dartmouth, Harry Wellman 1907, performed on bagpipe by Josh Marks ’96

This week the boys decided to pour through the most recent edition of ABSA's AB-506  "Inspection and Servicing Requirements for In-Service Pressure Equipment". 

One of the back-bone documents of their local regulator- ABSA 

AB-506 was created to assist owners & owner/users develop an effective integrity management program which spans the lifecycle of their equipment from construction to decommissioning.  

The document (AB-506) also lays out some rules for inspection companies and organizations who provide services to owner-users help maintain these programs, as well as the people who conduct the inspections. 

In the first part of this two part series the boys walk through the document covering some basic terminology "they" deemed important from section 2, and have casual conversation about sections 3 through 10.   

Grab your favorite beverage and enjoy the show!

In the second season opener Scott and Frank sit down and do a quick recap of their first season, and are amazed people are still listening.

They tackle a few listener question they encountered  such as working your way into your first visual job (or moving up from your current position), final package reviews and fitting registrations vs fitting modifications / construction, as well have a bit of open discussion on double checking with your peers when you encounter something that makes you scratch your head. 

 

The long awaited conclusion to the ASME section IX WPS review is finally here. If you thought the first episode was dry you haven't heard anything yet. In the conclusion to this 2 part technical series the boys discuss applying what they learned in the previous episode to real life repair and fabrication scenarios. Mastering ASME section IX is just the beginning, now the real work begins. Registration, construction code compliance, and welder qualifications. Oh and don't forget about the CWB, your hosts will attempt to decipher WPS data sheets and how to apply them. This episode really brings it all together and puts a real life perspective on WPS review for the pressure equipment integrity industry.
