After having to clean off the Truckbefore coming home yesterday it was a pleasant surprise not to have any of the ~~White Stuff~~anywhere to be found this morning. Instead we had a lite southerly breeze with 37 F(3 C) and Fog. That was quite the change but one that I did not mind.

The Employee Doorwas already unlocked when I arrived at the Plantso I was able to get organized for my day. Just as I was about to get started before 8:00 Ivan showed up ready to go. He’s been going home, showering and in bed before 8:00 the last few nights and he’s Eleven Yearsyounger then me.

We still had a little grinding to do before getting ready to install the New Beams. I had to cut materials and shape them as Corner Hooks so they could be permanently installed not just for this time but for any future changes that would also be made.

Using the Cleaning Crewto help with the Heavy Liftingwe first raised the one Beamonto Chainswe wrapped around the Manifoldsas a Safety. Those same Chainsheld the Beamswhile we used Come-Alongsattached to the Corner HooksI had welded in place. Bit by bit we were able to snug them to the ceiling of the Washer. After attaching the Lead-Into the Beamalong with a few more securing Stitchesit was time to repeat the process with the Second Beam. After using a String Lineto verify the Beamwas in fact in a perfect line the same process was repeated.

I had talked with Kathy at lunch and reminded her of the possible late quitting time since this has to be ready to run before Monday. The Cleaning Crewleft around5:00but Ivan made further progress and closed up around 6:35.

Since Kathy hadn’t started supper I stopped at Burger Kingon the way home and finally walked in the door around 7:05 with our mealsin hand.

The Weather Networkshowed we had a high temperature today of 37F(23C) feeling like32 F(0 C) with a couple more days of moderate temperatures before we really start experiencing the Winter Weather.

Working these late hours is making it even harder to say current of what all our RV Friends are up to. I can just say like ourSign-OffI always use “Stay Safe and Enjoy!”
