I'm not sure what you do for a living, but the pay must be tidy if you're throwing a word like nuclear around!

I "grew up" in that area, Westminister /Arvada. I remember driving by the entrance and seeing the protesters in the early 70s.

We would swim in Stanley lake not far from the plant...I now wonder if the lake was contaminated by the nuclear waste water runoff. May be a great place to find mutated biology!

I heard that.

Yeah I made it home. Still tired this morning though. Marina went to work for 4 or so hours and I am watching the kids. Sophia is painting and watching the divers. Vince is in the play pen exploring toys.

Was suprisingly cool for this time of year at work, everyday thunderstorms and clouds kept down the afternoon temps. Yep, rained hard everyday, everything is so green down there. Aug.1st it got really hot, right on time I guess.

Expecting a hurricane to be in the Gulf by Tuesday. If so they begin paying double time for workover, but not interested unless it adjoins my regular hitch.

The just put out a bid for 8 pilots to upgrade to IFR program in the S-76. I bid but I am like 13th in seniority so far. Some won't be selected though, so I could still get it since I have some twin time and I am ready for the ATP already. I sure hope I get it, but if not they will bid again by spring and should get that one.

No Joy,
That last Thunderstorm, killed the router and DSL modem.
I did get to watch that storm from the North side all night, lightning thunder.
Even seen it start a fire on of all things Fire Mountain. LOL.
We was on a Gas Well Pad and it flashed and popped at the same time. Watched it hit Fire Mountain.
They shot down the Frac Operation for it, afraid the Crane was going to get zapped next. So we got a nice two hour break.
