There were four of us again at the transmitter site devotions this morning — Kevin, Lionel, Ivan and I.<\/p>\n
I spent most of the morning making final revisions on our May 2017 McGuiReport and compiling the page of listener responses to be included with the mailing of this report.\u00a0\u00a0 For some reason, this process seems to take longer from a remote location, than it does from Elkhart. \u00a0Everything was completed and emailed with instructions to TWR Cary by noon.<\/p>\n
For lunch we had leftover pizza and lettuce with carrots and sunflower seeds.\u00a0 We also shared a small bag of Sun chips (original style).\u00a0 Virginia said that our supper tonight should be really interesting.<\/p>\n
My nap lasted almost 20 minutes–my ‘alarm clock’ forgot to wake me up!!<\/p>\n
Shortly after lunch, an email came announcing that enough funds had come in for the Bonaire Power Up project to allow the ordering of the new 400,000-watt AM transmitter.\u00a0<\/u> Praise the LORD!!<\/u><\/b> \u00a0The order was signed and sent to Nautel, the transmitter company, today.\u00a0 Delivery is anticipated in about 5 months.<\/p>\n
This afternoon, I investigated what was going to be needed to connect power and control wiring to the 600kw dummy load.\u00a0 In the process, I discovered a large stack of cardboard boxes that had been packed inside the dummy load.\u00a0 They appear to be mostly installation and spare parts for the dummy load. \u00a0 These were removed from the dummy load and moved into the transmitter hall for Jonas or Dave to handle next week.<\/p>\n
Virginia went to town again this afternoon to pick up some last minute items to take home with us, then picked me up at 4:30.<\/p>\n
Today was my last day of work for this trip to Bonaire.\u00a0 Tomorrow we are scheduled to fly out at 2:50 pm.\u00a0 We plan to spend that night with my niece and her family in the Atlanta area, then fly to South Bend on Sunday arriving just after 8 pm.<\/p>\n
Yes, our supper was ‘interesting’!\u00a0 Virginia called it ‘self-assembled shepherds pie’ using a variety of leftovers that needed to be used up.\u00a0 The first layer was mixed vegetables, with leftover hamburger pizza topping next, then pizza sauce.\u00a0 The Dutch equivalent of ‘Tater Tots’ were then put on top.\u00a0 Not exactly shepherd’s pie, but close!<\/p>\n
We went to Bachelor Beach for about 1\/2 hour before the sun went down.\u00a0 Tonight, seemed a little clearer than last night, but there was too much haze on the horizon to see the sun set.\u00a0 We did notice a ship coming in from the southeast.\u00a0 As it got closer, it looked like the ship that brings about 10 containers per load.<\/p>\n
We now need to get busy packing!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
