Friday Night Out

Bay City, Texas

Weather: low 53 degrees, high 64 degrees, cloudy skies

It was an uneventful day at work, with everything on the project humming along. Things are going great since we solved the problems of the last two weeks. We made up several hours on the schedule today, and should be able to continue the momentum. Refueling of the reactor should begin in a couple of days, followed by placement of the new reactor vessel head on the reactor. Testing of the new components will follow, and startup of the reactor. I think everyone here is ready for this to be finished.

In last night’s post, I mentioned that I had a consulting job commitment for one to two weeks in New Orleans after this outage here is finished. I talked to the folks over there today, and we may have worked out a way to take care of the commitment. I still have some details to work out.

When I was still working full time, Carolyn and I would go out to a restaurant for supper on Friday nights. It almost felt like a date, and was something we looked forward to. After I “retired”, we seemed to get out of the habit of going out on Friday night, since we could go to a restaurant any time we wanted without regard to what time of the week it was. Last week, we decided to go out Friday night, and it was a nice change. We both enjoyed the change, and have decided that we’ll start that little routine again. Last week’s choice to go to was K-2 Restaurant, and this week, we went to the Waterfront Restaurant at the Matagorda Boat Harbor . It was an enjoyable meal, made even nicer by the company.

The temperature in the morning is forecast to be in the 40s, which will be the lowest so far this fall. I really like snuggling under the cover when it’s cool. It sure makes sleeping nice.

More later, be safe.
