Particularly interesting mark number

As you may or may not know, everything in a power station has a mark number designator that starts unit number, system, and numerical indicator.
In the process of requesting clearance tags for the work, I found a mark number that made me laugh this morning.

2-VP-44

I just thought YEP, that's how many I have bought this year.

At least you don't have enough time to buy a 3rd VP44 in 2007.

8 hours????? Try 8 miles. That is as far as I got with the last replacement VP I had installed. The shop turned it back into Cummins South Plains here in Houston and he had another replacement in 24 hours. He weren't too happy to re-invest the labor so I told him I would bring him a couple of cases of Shiner Bock to ease his pain.... I had truck towed to my house when he completed the re-install and then had a dealership pick her up on trade in on my new Hemi 1500 4wd.....
