Back To Work

Bay City, Texas

Weather: low 64 degrees, high 67 degrees, cloudy, sprinkles late in the afternoon, breezy

Today was my first day back at work after a day of rest. The time off was enjoyed, and now it was back to the outage. The weather continued to be cool, and I didn't hear anyone complaining about it.

I stayed up a little later than I intended last night because I couldn't tear myself away from watching the Florida and LSU football game. It was a game between the number 1 and number 4 teams, and Florida played well, wining 13 to 3. There was no doubt that Florida was the better team. Tim Tebow, their quarterback that suffered a concussion two weeks ago, played the entire game and showed no ill effects from the injury.

Last night, the old reactor vessel head was moved to the head stand area in containment so work could begin on removing components that will be used on the new reactor head. Today was spent setting up the work area so the component removal work can begin, and the old head made ready to move out of the containment building. That should happen in about a week.

Our daughter Lori, who lives here in Bay City, suffered a fractured nose today when a container fell off a shelf at home and hit her. Obviously, it was very painful, and a lot of blood was involved. The emergency room folks told her there was nothing that could be done, and that she would have bruises for about six weeks. Ouch!!

I think I'll try to get in the bed a little earlier tonight.

More later, be safe.
