Weather: low 53 degrees, high 84 degrees, clear skies
Work for the project I’m on is just about finished. I should still be able to leave in another two or three days. That’s the good news. The bad news is that the station has had a delay in starting up the plant that may cause the outage to last another couple of days. Even with the little delay, the outage should still end on schedule or slightly ahead. That’s not bad for an outage that involved so many people working on a large number of activities over a period of about 35 days.
This is the time in a project like this that becomes a little sad. People you worked with in planning and executing a complex project begin to leave, going on to other jobs or taking some time off. In some cases they retire, or like me, go back to retirement. Everyone promises to stay in touch, but the reality is that you usually never see the people again unless it’s at another project. I don’t plan to work any more, other than the occasional week or two on special assignment (if that), so I probably won’t see most of these people again. That’s too bad, because I enjoyed working with them.
Here's another beach with a lighthouse and the light keeper's house at Heceta Head on the coast of Oregon. Note the kids with swim suits on. They're not doing anything in the water except wading. That's cold water, folks! There were not any adults out there.
The funeral for the father of our son-in-law John was held today. This is a difficult time for the family, and our heart goes out to them. The only help we can give is the advice that time usually helps with the pain.
More later, be safe.
