Headin' north today to back-flush our heat-exchanger (HE) at the Colfax Xmtr. site. We've had a MAJOR Cotton-wood outbreak and my HEs are getting too "blankety" - if you know what I mean...
But, here's what happening in the area right now...
Hot news last night...MNDOT decided to shut down the Hwy 43 bridge over the Mississippi River yesterday afternoon/evening. It seems that little bridge is suffering from a severe case of bolt & gussette plate rot (Just like what they believe took out the I-35W bridge in Mpls/St.Paul last year.). This particular little span connects Winona, MN. to the western side of Wisconsin.
The nearest connecting bridges are in Wabasha, MN. (Hwy 60) and the I-90 Bridge down by La Crosse...anyone that had to cross the river at Winona on a "short trip" now is looking at a, minimum, 65-mile one-way commute to, and then from, work.
With gas running about $3.929 for RUG and $4.759 for diesel, this has got to suck, big-time.
Hey, hopefully your Hump-Day isn't giving it to you today!
How's it going?
