High Winds

Bay City, Texas

Weather: low 68 degrees, high 75 degrees, partly cloudy skies, winds gusting to 40 mph

An unexpected problem came up at work today when the wind blew as hard as it did. By this afternoon, gusts were hitting 40 mph, which meant that any cranes operating outside had to stop operations. As a result, all crane lifts, which involved several different cranes, were suspended for about five hours. That resulted in some minor delays, which we're hopeful can be made up tonight. Work in other areas continued, and one of the tasks that gave us many problems last outage begins tonight. The project should know if the lessons learned and applied solved the problems by the time I get to work tomorrow. One more time, my fingers are crossed that everything goes well.

Carolyn was still sleeping when I went to work this morning, which I was glad to see. Why should she have to get up that early, and then try to stay awake all day? She's used to getting up when I do, but it's not anything that I expect her to do.

Today's pictures of California flowers are even prettier than the last two days. As good as the pictures are, they don't capture the true beauty that we saw.







More later, be safe.
