February 2003
Saturday - my friend Tim came up for the weekend, with
his wife and new baby. It's a gorgeous infant, and remarkably quiet. I can't
recall a better natured little girl. Cute too. We all went out to dinner
- but I forgot the camera. Darn. Oh well.
My father sent me a link to a web page camera of the bridge - they are finally
building the deck. Actually it is apparently built in large sections elsewhere
and raised from a barge and connected together at the bridge site. There
is a possibility that the bridge in the picture of the week below is carrying
a bridge deck section. I wish I was up there on a non-holiday, non-weekend
day, so that I could see the action. Of course, it's probably pretty slow.
Only on Toonami do you
see thousand ton chunks of steel flung about quickly. And, sorry, I don't
have the bridgecam link handy. Sorry. Next week maybe....

Friday - a good night's sleep does wonders. I finished
up most of the weeks modeling task. We are also going to run some cross checks
and more in-depth analysis on some other runs from earlier in the year. All
the computers will be working overtime while we humans play this weekend.
Well, if the power stays up, anyway....

February 2003
Thursday - dinner at El Torito's. I was so tired that I didn't dare drink a Margharita - now that's tired. Home and to bed early.
I did watch a couple of minutes of a "Bachelor" special. The engagement is
off, it seems. The girl seemed nice enough, the guy like a typical jock/jerk.
It's not really my sort of show.
Wednesday
19 February 2003
Wednesday - lots of work, so short shrift here. If finding
more fault seems like an improvement, maybe that says something about my own character. Ah well.
Proof....
Tuesday 18
February 2003
Tuesday - back at work. Still a bit tired. Our
'patched' systems aren't a patched as we thought, apparently. And the
scans seem to be improving - now they are finding even more faults.
Monday
17 February 2003
Monday - drove back to Lancaster. It was
an OK trip, moderately busy, but not Thanksgiving or Memorial Day
levels of traffic.
The car rolled over 249,000 on the way down - a few hundred more miles
and it will be 250,000. Actually, given that occasionally the odometer
stops working it may already be at or beyond that completely arbitrary
(but wonderful) number.
Sunday 16 February
2003
Sunday - Not a lot going on. We went down
to the local marina and watched the boats out on the water and some
guys - adults - playing with kites. Admittedly cool kites, but still...
The water level was up over the banks of the river for some reason. It
had been raining, and it was certainly a high tide, and perhaps there
was some sort of lunar tide thing going on. I had a chance to take a
good picture and didn't. Darn me anyway...

Photo Notes:
On this recent trip I took a picture of a barge moored out on the river.
Note the little benches - I didn't even see them, but they add
something to the picture. As a photographer I make a pretty good
engineer...
