Good Saturday morning everyone. Anyone want some snow? I'm about sick of it.

 

Good morning Utah, happy Sunday! I'll pass on the snow Bill!

 

Mornin everyone, don't know whats so good about it. I wish I could pass on the snow, but mama nature won't let me.

 

Morning Bill. What's on your plate for the day?

 

I'm going to start painting the upstairs bedroom today. Been putting it off for 7 years now. Maybe I ought to put it off another 7 years, and go work on the truck. How about you?

 

Working today. We shut down the plant for our 18 month cycle refueling this morning. I'll be on 6 day weeks, 12 hour days through may. At least I get Fridays off.

 

Well, just be glad your working. What do you do for a living?

 

I work at a nuclear power station, just north of Omaha. I repair/calibrate all of the portable radiation meters, and the personel monitors. Love my job, but the outages can get tiring.

How about you?

 

Nuclear scientist? LOL sounds like a good job. I'm a painter by trade, but theres not much I can't do in construction.

 

I just sort of worked my way into it, not a lot of experience. I worked on aircraft in the Navy, mostly the hydraulics and airframe. I had to take some classes in electronics, and do a lot of on the job training. Your work should be picking up here pretty soon, shouldn't it?

 

It will if this weather ever stops. I understand what you mean about calibrating electronics, I was a communications specialist in the Army.

 

Took me a while to pick it up. I've been doing it for 5 years now. Love the work, it's always something different, and I don't have to go into the containment building anymore during outages, which is just fine with me!

Well, gonna grab some lunch, I'll swing back by in a while.

 

Enjoy your lunch.

 

Hope everyone had a good weekend.

 

Good morning Utah!
