Caught In The Rain

Bay City, Texas

Weather: low 67 degrees, high 80 degrees, rain early, then partly cloudy skies

As I was walking in to the office this morning, a torrential downpour caught me between buildings. By the time I was under cover, I looked as though I had stood in a shower with the water turned wide open. Fortunately, a co-worker happened to have an extra shirt, which he loaned to me. I heard people complaining most of the day about their shoes and socks being wet. Some of them even went so far as placing paper towels in their shoes with them on in an attempt to help dry their shoes out. It is a miserable feeling to have wet clothes on in an air conditioned environment.

It was a very busy day at work and we made good progress in moving forward with the plans developed yesterday to use new parts in place of the parts we can't remove from the old reactor head. At this time, it looks as though we will begin removing the old head from the containment building in about two days. Then we will move the new head into the building and start getting it ready to place on the reactor vessel. There's still a lot of work to do, but we're moving forward.

Has anyone noticed what's been happening with the stock market? Since the low point in the market, it has recovered about 3500 points. That's still a long way from the high of over 14,000, but at least people's 401-k accounts are not bleeding like they were.

Don't tell Carolyn, but I'm taking her out to supper after work tomorrow night. There are not many choices here, but we'll find something.

More later, be safe.
