At least you got that, I have given up a few complete wknds. to the co. but in actuality I did it because my boss asked, and he is the kind of boss who makes you feel like working for him, and acknowledges who is loyal to him..........AND buys you burgers and beer after work!

I have a good boss also. Pretty much leaves me alone to do my thing. We used to work 7-12's during outages. The money was great, but man, does that wear you down!

Don,

I sure hope you intend to change the type of power drive that horizontal has, or do you have a steam engine out back?

Can we assume yours is different, maybe with an electric motor? Yes?

Hopefully next month. We got the head on the reactor Friday night, and they are tensioning it down as we speak. There is a ton of testing that will have to be done, including heating up, and looking for leaks. I'm expecting a ton of those, after sitting idle for over two years.

Good morning Oregon FTE gang and friends.

I am making the most of my day off and slept in.

Getting ready to get a few things done around the house... Nothing too strenuous though.

In best Russian accent........"Is little leak, is nothing to worry about"

I can imagine the amount of inspectors looking over your shoulders.
