I have mad respect for those that can do this job month after month.

Wait until megawatt fever kicks in toward the end of the outage.  That's when the pressure really comes on.

Jason,

Glad to hear it's working out for you. Don't forget to have fun. Outages can be a blast, don't let the pressure make you lose sight of the fun side of it.

has the new guy had the pleasure of meeting the SHIM?

[starving_dog]

The SHIM left a while ago.  The burgers just aren't the same.

There must be some weird business/zoning laws around deez parts because their isn't one damn place open for food 24-hours.

The IHOP in LP is not open 24, blasphemous. What kind of IHOP straddled by a Nuke Plant and a Navy base is not open 24 hrs or at least opened at 0500.

No Denneys, No Huddle House, No Waffle House. Crazy Yo

All that is opened is some Guidos pub opening at 0600 for beer and 0700 for a breakfast bar. Since the breakfast bar looked worst than the Cliffs cafeteria and since it was 7 i went to Bob Evans. But when you get off at 5, two hours is two too many to wait for breakfast.

What's wrong with the resteraunteers around here?

[kwicslvr]

There's "resteraunts" around here!  Holy cow!!!  Where??

Captains Table Solomon's Island behind the Comfort Inn is open at 630 for breakfast.

Have fun with my Beagle Pictures.

Let the games begin.

Ohh, by the way, expect two guys from the Outage to drop off their keys to my apartment before they leave on friday night. I expect they will work until 1200 AM and then depart.

I told them to leave the keys with Chemistry.

I'll be back around the 20th

Around 5 days behind?  What is going on?

[RADBASTARD]

NOW WE ARE 7 DAYS BEHIND LAST I HEARD!!!!

We did move the head out with the TSP 1st one in history of the world I heard that was changed out

You should have no problem finding a nice 3/2 for less than 400k.   We live up in Chesapeake Beach in 2000sqft 4/2 on a .25 acre that is worth right around 300k now.  Farther south you go the less expensive it can be.  The area has a big part to play also.  Right down the road from us are 600-800k houses and a new house a block over just sold for 475k.

HOLY SHIT!!! That's all you get for 300K in that area??? What drives the housing cost up there?

[duke99301]

Should have SGT there on line on time!

[Already Gone]

HOLY SHIT!!! That's all you get for 300K in that area??? What drives the housing cost up there?

Proximity to Washington DC and Baltimore
Proximity to Chesapeake Bay
Moderate climate
Crabs fresh out of the water
All the shark teeth you will ever need
The Tiki Bar

I figured  as much. When I interviewed at North Anna in October 2004 we spent three days in the that region. My wife and I vacationed in Williamsburg for something like 3 years in a row and every year we'd spend a night in Fredericksburg. F Burg had very reasonable housing with little or no traffic. So we figured we could get reasonable housing in that area. We hadn't stopped there since 9/11.

SO, we stop in F Burg to stay while I'm interviewing. It was crowded, way too much traffic and the average price of a decent house was well over 200K when in 2000 it had been around 125K or so. I'm talking for maybe 1700 square feet.  I asked the realtor why and she said after 9/11 so many people moved from DC to the outer regions that prices went way up. Moving towards the lake made it even worse.

That and the long drive to work made me say no to their offer.

I'm so glad I live in Tennessee because housing is at least reasonable. For 235K I have 2800 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 4 baths, huge deck, a private porch, hot tub, jet tubs and a 1700 square foot basement that I'm currently finishing. Plus about  1.25 acres of land (all wooded).

Well we are only about 10 days or more at last count behind in the outage.
I think they are woundering if anybody has a spare TSP.at there house for the head that fits.
This one doesn't seem to be the right size.I think it was the metric to english conversion sizing mistake.
They have been grinding the hell out of this one to make it fit and not get stuck.
The head replacement is going great,it's that damn THIMBLE SUPPORT PLATE that's holding it up.

[starving_dog]

Sounds like a serious case of Back to the Future.  Comparisons are being made to the 2002 SGRP.
