The Tennessee Valley Authority needs Senior Interment Mechanics to work their Fossil Plant system. I know the weather conditions are a lot better. I just retired from the TVA Gallatin Plant, and we were still actively looking for qualified IM's when I walked out the door. Property prices might not equal out but the weather might make up the difference. New Westinghouse computer control systems to be installed next spring, and everyone involved being sent to Philadelphia for the initial training. I am not sure what industry you work in but the weather in the south is bound to be better than the northwest, and it rarely gets cold enough to freeze the moisture in the air system, and the sun stays around a little longer in the winter, and the idea of putting Skis on the Endurance might have to go on the back burner. Bob Perkinson Hendersonville, TN. RV9 N658RP Reserved If nothing changes Nothing changes Unfortunately progress has slowed this month as on New Years day our deepwell pump quit (556' down) so had to be replaced, so I also began upgrading the rest of the water system electrical control, then I melted down a piston on my Ski-Doo (main mode of transportation to work in winter as I only live 3km from work by trail, but 15.5km by road = 3minute commute vs. 20min), Then my electrical system failed on my skidsteer, while I was working with it in a really crappy location inaccessible by any vehicle that would have any chance of towing it back to the shop, so I had to run hundreds of feet of extension cord out to it to keep the block heater and work lights plugged in. Without being able to lift off the cab this was a real bitch of a job. Made working on the apron seem not so bad. Now the snow is getting high enough that my 3 horses have finally figured out that they can step over the fence! So the last few nights I've been woken up by the sound of horses calling and the dog barking (you'd think they'd be smart enough to be quiet when they escape, but no, they gotta holler and let everybody know they're out. damn hayburners). So the plan for tomorrow is to use the skidsteer to dig the snow out from the fence line. sounds more fun than working on the plane anyways. eat your heart out Florida J So now you know why Endurance is coming apart. I think I' ll go mix another hot buttered rum. Goodnight. S.
