Good job on the photo!
Just out of focus enough to make us feel like we’re really there at the bar.

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?

Short day - going to work the rest of the week in Texas

SwampYankee · #4 06-04-2008, 10:40 AM

Rainy and quiet. I might actually catch up today since I took off early yesterday (we attended the funeral for my wife's 21yo cousin yesterday-died in her sleep the day after a "good" physical for a new job

).

On the upside (even though it was Tues. I need to brag

, especially after the way the first part of the day went) my 10yo hit a game-tying, bonified Grand Salami (his 2nd real home run in 2 games-as opposed to just advancing bases thanks to misplays or errors by the other team) in the bottom of the 5th (they play 6 innings) and the next kid up hit the eventual game-winner to beat the only other undefeated team in their league 10-9. It was quite a relief, as well as a very proud moment, since the kid lives and dies by every play. He has a real tough time keeping his emotions in check when things don't go well and I was preparing myself for the worst case scenario (I know, I should have had more faith). The funny thing is that although he probably a good 5-6" taller than most of the kids on his team the bat is thicker than his arms and legs. I guess it just goes to show how important bat speed is.

Ahhhhhhh- woke up on this side of the grass and I'm still on the payroll! Woooohoooooo. Today at work,I officially christen the 3-D camera thing-a-ma-bob "See-3D-Oh". Thought it appropriate since I have a Star wars theme going on in the studio. Have a good one everyone!

Later in the morning- "See-3D-Oh" decided to have a major meltdown so I spent 1/2 the morning on the phone with "Houston Control" .....I love technology.

Argh thought I smelled diesel going to lunch. Pop the hood at Wattaburger and first return line is spraying the engine down. Fortunately I had about a foot of line in the trunk. You can't cut return lines with plastic knives

It finally cooled off enough

to take the hardtop off my Jeep. I moved our playscape this afternoon with our PiggyBack forklift so that I can get the pool set up this weekend. My wife and daughter have their Girl Scout bridging ceremony tonight so the boys and I will take a little cruise in the Jeep with the doors off and drop the oldest off at baseball practice at 5:00.

Dee8go · #10 06-11-2008, 04:22 PM

Trying to get a little ahead of things with work. I'm going to my older daughter's high school graduation tomorrow. Life is good!

I just got my teething 10 month old daughter back to sleep AGAIN.

I'm having trouble getting back to sleep myself now, so I thought I'd check in.

Happy Hump Day everybody.

I'm off to bed.

Oh man, 0330 is way too early! Hope you were able to catch some zzzz's finally. That's one stage I'm glad we're out of, for the most part.

I'm hopping on a plane in a few hours for Richmond, coming back Friday night. If I don't get a chance to pop back in before then I hope the rest of the week goes well for you all!

In the wee hours of this AM I finally wrapped up putting on those new %#@*^ oil cooler lines on the SD. Not a tough job but a real PIA. The SD will breathe life tonight!

Cool ... here's hoping for LEAK-FREE breathing tonight.

I'm still paranoid of leaks even after replacing mine. I plan to eventually do the low oil pressure alarm that another member posted plans for.

Low oil pressure alarm.

Maybe an alarmed hooked into the idiot light

I hate it when you have pieces left over and a two pronged plug that came loose from somehere underneath

Maybe an idiot lite with a more serious note!
