Jonas and I were the only ones at the transmitter site for morning devotions.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Lionel took a day off to watch his 3 year old daughter while his wife had to take care of some business.\u00a0 Later in the day, Dave Pederson was there for a while and Ivan was painting.\u00a0 Ivan has been painting the WEB power building to match the transmitter building.\u00a0 Now he is repainting some of the transmitter building because it looks so faded.\u00a0 That’s one thing we have noticed here–all the bright Caribbean colors fade to more pastel colors over time.<\/p>\n

After checking emails, we ordered five relays and sockets to be included in the shipment that will be sent from Niles in a month or so.\u00a0 We also attempted to order two contactors, but somehow the order did not appear to go through.\u00a0 Rather than risking making a double order, we decided to wait a while in case an email confirmation for the order might have been delayed.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Jonas and I began installing more vacuum capacitors in the phasor room.\u00a0 The total number of these capacitors that will be in the phasor room is about 50, not the 40 that I estimated earlier this week.\u00a0 Six bolts hold each capacitor to their base plates and each one’s orientation must be verified using photos that Kintronic took at the factory.\u00a0\u00a0 Often it is necessary to sort through 40 or more photos to find the one that most clearly shows the right orientation that will allow the prefabricated connections to fit right.<\/p>\n

Sometime during the morning, the special truck came and loaded the ‘rented’ container that brought the dummy load, back onto its trailer.\u00a0 The shipping company should be taking the container and its trailer away shortly.<\/p>\n

Had lunch at the duplex, as usual.\u00a0 Rather than a PB&J sandwich (which is my standard request), Virginia made a toasted cheese sandwich.\u00a0 Also had a small bag of cheddar Sun chips.\u00a0 I then lay on the couch with my feet up for a 15 minute snooze before heading back to the site.\u00a0 It is less than 1.5 miles from our duplex to the transmitter site.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

On the way, I noticed that the salt ‘harvesting’ machine was close to the road, so decided to get some clearer photos.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
