Good morning all, happy Thirsty Thursday! Done with training for now, so, back at the new site. Going to go for a stroll to see if anything has been done in the construction (yeah, sure....). You'd think this was a goverment job, I've never seen so many people standing around doing nothing. And, we were supposed to start up this month! It'll be more like next May at this rate.

Morning Sir Patrick, all 'braska and friends. Actually isn't a power station just like a state government job. Kinda mandated as such. Under government purview.

that is true, since we are a public utility. Still, our construction contractor isn't with the government.

Oh, contraire, my good friend. I have drawings and manuals, and all sorts of stuff to go over! Along with our walkdowns, to make sure they aren't doing anything dumb during construction.

Wondrous Weekend Eve Nebraska, Pat, Lee, Roy, Bud, Ken, George and all the crew.
Pat, "I have drawings and manuals, and all sorts of stuff to go over! Along with our walkdowns" and that would be my story and I would stick to it! LOL Have fun and take it easy on the knee!

Roy, That looks like a fine place to camp. You didn't go swimming and muddy the water did you?

Good morning all, happy Friday! Did my walk around early today.

Roy, what an awesome campsite! Is that a hydro-electric plant on the river down from you?
