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.

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. . I’m glad both are on the mend. Prayers going out to you brother

Trying reason with Hurricane Season. 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).

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.

Eat Bullwinkle and we have something to talk about . . . .

Never ate Bullwikle but had some Yogi.

Jimmy truly had a way with lyrics! Especially those early albums. My favorite quote from him came from his first novel ironically…”this book contains factual fictions, and fictional facts,” or something along those lines…

My life summed up in a phrase! .

“Liv’n my life like a song”…close second!

My absolute favorite musical artist, author, and storyteller ! Miss him all the time.

Got a substantial break in the rain, so the back yard got cut. Front yard was cut last week before the rain showed up. Damned green stuff is growing now that it's gotten some water.

And I believe they were playing at Beaver Stadium....

Because it's just wrong to say Phills and Beaver in the same sentence!

Closest one to me is 17 miles and I am not going that far. I just wanted to point out tomorrow is National Coffee Day. I have not seen OM recently, is she off on another trip?

That's what we have Out West, too. Take good care of them (no "garbage" disposals and certainly no "flushable" baby wipes) and they can last a good long time.

We have them on boats too and they are called a MSD unit (Marine Sanitation Device) which is very sensitive to bleach, chemicals, and any undigestable materials.
During the Alaska voyage, despite 3 warnings that they were plugging up my MSD with disinfectant wipes, flooding my machinery space with shit, they continued doing so.
The last time I had to unstop it, at lunchtime, I carried them all up and sat them on the galley table, saying "You'll listen now MFrs!"

She said it helped along with the peach crisp I baked.

Could you please FAX me a helping of that Peach Crisp?

OM is away again. B2 has coffee duty… and YOU KNOW WHO has to wash the dishes.

His initials are WAT TYLER.

Correction... YOU KNOW WHO has to throw the dirty dishes out the window!

And the window is sticky and needed to be fixed first.


At least I didn't break a nail.


But hey, the Giants won!!!

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.

A much more valuable skillset than juggling balls!

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.

Were you aware that Arkansas was going to remain "neutral" in the war of northern aggression, until the Yankee Govt. stole the cannon which were ordered earlier, while they were being shipped to Arkansas?

I am grouchy

You'd make a great Merchant Mariner, as grouchy is a prerequisite!

I thought this was the Oil Rig WC. I mean, it's on the internet so it must be true... right?

I'm not going to say they've never had one like that, but I've never seen one...

I mean... who wants their bits dangling above schools of hungry fish?

Upon further thought, I could definitely see this being true on some rigs in third world countries.

Saw this article and thought I would share.
Could be bunk, but there's no harm in trying as it is drug-free, non-invasive, and fairly easy to try.
