Calvert Cliffs

[LaFeet]

All I know is I told them that I gotta leave here before Aril 10th... and they are shaking their heads no......

Anyone got a bigger hammer?

[starving_dog]

Y'all still "grinding it out" at the Cliffs?  What's the scoop?

According to the engineers "Well....hmmmmm... it donna fit rite.... gsta wiggle it a lil more afor itll fall down"

As of today, it does not fit correctly and will not sit on the surfaces.  I told them they need a bigger T-Post driver and just drive it in.    Diving ops sometime next month - may be

Hey SD,
Were sitting fat and happy at the hatch...... Not much going in or out cause they can't get the crane from the TSP group. They did install a 1/2 million dollar temp crane on the pzr for the outage. It's definetly been an interesting outage....Flash backs of the SGR from hell and the same unit.

They bought off on the TSP...... aka Square Peg inna Round Hole.  Moving onto the next oops... 

[RADBASTARD]

We are now 13 days behind schedule. TSP or BUST!

[LaFeet]

13, 15 whatever it takes.   Got the TSP slide through the chees grater, now the EDM debaucle begins

[LaFeet]

Hey RadBastard,  at this rate it looks like we might hit the Tiki Bar before you depart fo St Lucie 

[RADBASTARD]

Yeah if it didn't burn down with half of the island like what happened the other day there,Half the island went up in flames on solomons island.

[LaFeet]

Tikis hold fire... not burn themselves... besides, all the alcohol has to burn away first 

[kwicslvr]

Well at least there's a good view from the Tiki Bar now!

[RADBASTARD]

Tonight they are suppose to start diving ops.I don't want to be tech A.
I hope they are bringing in jacque quostoe and phillpe from the dead to do the diving.
Maybe they will find the titanic down there.

[LaFeet]

Hell... If they actually got the dive surveys done before I came in tonight.....

Let's see....  8-9 days diving,  10-12 days refuelling, and then 32-3 days buttoning up....

Money Money Money   

Guess RadBastard will be here with me until the end... Tiki Bar here we come   

[LaFeet]

Managed the first round of divers.... I would like to know what idiot thought that herculite is water proof....

[radbitch]

What about the water logged lead blankets from the dive tower?

[LaFeet]

What about the water logged lead blankets from the dive tower?

The were bled like a stuck piggy......and come on... they were waterproof, just ask the engineers

[RADBASTARD]

I can't believe we are starting diving again.Man that was a great pot luck tonight.
I'm surprised you didn't try the excuse that we can't go in the water for an hour we just ate{alot},so no diving for awhile.

[hamsamich]

Yes that was good pot-luck.  The sausage pasta was my favorite.  I bet you liked that too, tom.

[RADBASTARD]

I'm sure he did like it.
Those crab balls from STONEYS were great all crab meat and the fried wontons lafeet made were awesome.The desserts were good for another 5 lbs.,but hamsamich's salad wasn't to good and looked old, so somebody tossed his salad.
Overall everthing was great so we should do it again next week.

[LaFeet]

Next week I think I might bring in some roulad or chicken wings

[kaveman32]

Or we can have the cafe wip up some howard's or romo's for the bunch. for a nice parting gift.

[LaFeet]

Managed to complete the diving this morn...... Now for the real fun to commence.

[radbitch]

Anybody that has worked Calvert knows about the famous Solomons Island. Home of the Tiki Bar. They had a massive fire on the Island last week that took out two historic restaurants. The Lighthouse Inn and Bowens Inn. If it wasn't for the fire boats responding so quickly the whole end of the Island would have burned too, including the Tiki Bar. For video of the fire go to
www.thebaynet.com Then look under the bay net video for Solomons in flames. It's pretty good video. I also have several pictures I could email if anyone is interested.

[jjordan]

Too bad about the fire! The ony picture I would be interested in would be of you though! How you holding up? We are going to run over too. We have a crack in the Core Spray piping in the vessel. AREVA is suppossed to be making some sort of clamp, but they are already several days behind, on top of the 6 days they initially said it would take to install it. They are talking about underwater weld repairs now (divers), ohh boy!

[LaFeet]

Most of our divers were headed to Palisaids (spelling??) , the others decided to work only non nuke jobs..... At least they all got out clean
