what a DAY!

Man, today has been a scramble. I'm helping a contractor with a floor vibration problem. They are constructing a 2 story building. It's not yet finished but all of the structural stuff is complete. The owner stopped by and visited the site. While a worker was pushing a huge stack of material across the floor, the owner noticed the floor vibrating. Freaked him out and he demanded a vibration study. I agreed to help the contractor thinking it might take a day's work. Since mid-April, I've spend almost 2 weeks on it. No good deed ever goes unpunished. I turned in what I thought was a final design yesterday afternoon. The engineer of record made comments that I've spent all day frantically taking care of so I can take tomorrow off to be with Megan and Deb since Megan is getting her wisdom teeth removed. Taking a break right now, but getting ready to get back after it.

Had planned to take the whole weekend off. But after spending so much time on the vibration deal, I'm way behind on a couple of jobs. Need to work Saturday for sure. Gads.

Anyway, the weather is great. No rain!! Well, there is a chance this weekend. Tara will hopefully get to come for a visit this weekend, pending Evie getting better and the other two munchkins not getting sick. Tara and John have their hands full o' little ones. Just when I think I'm gonna have a nite or two to stay up late and look thru the new telescope, there's a chance of rain. daggonit.

Have a great evening.
