Weather: low 55 degrees, high 57 degrees, clouds and rain all day
One of these days, we're going to find a place to spend some time where it doesn't rain as much as it does along the Texas coast. We've been here about 18 days, and we've seen rain on at least seven of those days. I know, that's normal here, but doesn't mean we like it.
We continued our preparations for the shutdown at work, and the rain didn't help matters. Some of the work outside had to be deferred until tomorrow, when the weather is supposed to be better. As on most days, part of my day was spent in meetings, which I appreciated with the way the weather was. Compared to the last shutdown in the fall when we worked on the other reactor here, there have been very few issues that have arisen, and the few that have come up have been easily handled.
When we were in Washington on our trip to Mount St.Helen's, we were impressed by the natural beauty of the forests, lakes, streams, and the farms that are in the area. Now, our primary reason to be there was to see Mount St. Helen's, so imagine our surprise when we looked to the north and saw the most spectacular mountain we had ever seen. That mountain was still well over 100 miles away, yet seemed to dominate the view. When we asked some local folks what the name of the mystery mountain was, the answer we got was Mount Rainier. Wow!
More later, be safe.
