Good morning Washington, Ken, Rod, Wayne and others.

Wayne, Thanks for sharing the cool photos from the refuge!

Ken, it does feel good to have the leak fixed. Back to my retired life.

Yesterday's strawberry harvest.

I'm back at it after having yesterday off, mandatory 14 day fatigue day. slept in till 6:00 yesterday morning, enjoyed taking my beautiful wife to church, took a nice nap and just rested. Got to hear from the 3 boys yesterday so that was very nice. Gotta call the youngest as he actually called after I went to sleep, getting up at $:00 to be at site by 6:00 just makes for exceptionally long days.

Working on a 1964 Nuovo Pignone CO2 compressor train at Nutrien Fertilizer in Point Lisas Trinidad.

Power rating is 7990 kW, 10,863 Hp. 2,277 Psi. discharge pressure. It's a little one.

Evening Tim, Eric and Wayne. A little warm here. Takes some of the energy out of me. Tilled up the tomato Asparagus patch, then noticed the tiller was moving around more than it should and discovered two bolts had sheared off that holds the cover over the tines. Fortunately, when I hit them with a left-hand drill they backed right out. After I got that repaired, I have been taking it easy.

WOW! If that is a little one, what kind of specs does a big one have?

Good job, It's great that worked out.

We managed to make it up to low 70s for a bit today!

Well I survived the weekend with a car show at the Lemay Auto Museum and my mom at my house!

Then yesterday and today I spent some time working on my truck and bunch of time chipping away on other projects in the barn. I just got chased out of the barn by the frickin bats so I came up to the house for a shower and an adult beverage.

That would be early for the bats in our barn. They don't come out until dusk. Sure wish they would find a place they liked better.

I wish they'd stay put until dusk but they seem to take hot laps around the barn every so often and more often when it's hot out. Every year I tighten up the barn and think I've got them shut out but they always find their way back in.

It's the crap on everything and being buzzed by them is what I'm tired of! I'll be going back down there later today to keep working on my truck and chipping away on other stuff.
