Cool article. I never knew this.
When I was in the AF washing dishes while pulling KP we would throw dishes on the floor to see how many times they would bounce, We were punch crazy from working 18 hrs. a day for two weeks. I also learned to juggle plates.
Funny and this is how old I am. I did some work at Three Mile Island while it was being built. You were close to Columbia if you drove on 30. I lived in and around Lancaster most of my life and somehow stumbled onto the burning of the Wrightsville bridge, I had never heard of it.
No i threw the whole roll at it amd stunned it...then i stepped on it and pulled off a couple pieces to pick it up and then flushed otYou used the WHOLE roll?!?!?
Shoot...
My dad built the boilers on Three Mile! He worked for Babcock&Wilcox at the time and I remember he was gone all spring and summer! Y’all probably crossed paths. His running joke was, we built the boilers, they didn’t break! It was the computers.
. I’m glad both are on the mend. Prayers going out to you brother
. Spent a large part of yesterday getting Momma’s generator on line and basically battening down the hatches. She was going to get that home Gen system put in but then her med issues took precedence and so we’re back to the Husky/Subaru 5000 (a damn fine Gen if you can find one). 
Good Lord I remember those KP duty days! Long days and punch drunk…would just laugh hysterically at the silliest things.

Aye! miss a day and trying to catch up on a dozen pages. We’re prolific posters if nothing else!
Good to see RJ back and so sorry to hear about Lady K.
Trying reason with Hurricane Season
Upside was I got to spend quality time with my son and granddaughter, and the grey visiting cat who I was excitedly told chased a snake off property the day before!
My gen is waiting, got a pallet of water just in case, and getting some extra food…just in case. All the models have the thing getting close but doing a 90degree turn back out to sea. Fingers crossed!
Morning Z is morning Music today…anytime the wind picks up, a weather eye is cast to sea…
I worked on the instrumentation in the lags they used to test the concrete. They tested the concrete on every pour. I have worked with Babcock&Wilcox boilers but mostly out in California.My dad built the boilers on Three Mile!

My life summed up in a phrase!
“Liv’n my life like a song”…close second!
Because it's just wrong to say Phills and Beaver in the same sentence!
