I agree and what p!sses me off is that it was Canadian customs that told me the above in my previous post. I just want to get the d@mn act in writing so I know what i am dealing with since I cannot get a standard answer. Basically if I get stopped I am just gonna hop on the phone with Nexus and tell them that I am checking in as we speak...was a last minute idea to go to Canada!

Twins....Really?

Well, living the good life here at work, I mean literally LIVING here. Our union workforce went out on strike, they couldn't come to agreement with the company over the contract so they walked. We all didn't think it would happen but it did.

So, myself and many other management workers are sequestered here at the nuke plant 24-7 so as not to have to cross the picket lines. It's quite peacefull so far.

No idea how long this may last since niether side is bending at all. Talks are to resume tomorrow.

This is really strange. I'm working 12 hours then sleeping on an air mattress in an office while another group works the other 12 hours. I've got a pretty good little nest set up but it's fricken wierd sleeping here. I missed a beautiful weekend for boating. My upcoming vacation time is in jeopardy since I may still be living here. This blows!!!!

The only boating I'll be doing is following what all you goofs are doing on OSO.

So, just when you think your job sucks, consider that I now have to live at my job. But don't you worry, we'll keep pumping out dependable, clean nuclear power!!!!!!

Bird, so you're hot racking 12/12 with a bunch of Homer Simpson's running a nuke plant, cool. If it goes too long we'll get the Formula nation to pull up to the warm water and bail you out. That sucks Dude!! Missed a good weekend up north, we ran the canadian channel to Wellesly and no issues,actually very little traffic. Didn't see any Canadian water cops until we were back on the american side by Boldt Castle. Axa of course, was yelling at them asking if they were checked in, MFers....

Gotta love the Union mentality!!! Personally I find it hard to believe that any job at a Nuc would leave a man begging for change on a corner to make ends meet. In these times WTF are these people thinking? Sorry to hear that you end up on the dirty end of their chit stick.

To add to 5P's report, started off with the loop over to Rockport, thru Ivy Lea then up past Wellesley to the Gan narrows, back thru the Bay, crossed over to Rockport and ran the north channel to Brockville Narrrows this afternoon, not a water cop to be seen, was just like the old days. What a wonderfull, event free day on the water.

not actually living here...but pretty frickin close!
here on my 5th 12 overnight in a row. Though I do get to travel the 6.2 miles and sleep in my own bed!

stayed up this am and scrubbed down and painted another 900 sq. ft. of steel...
4 hours of shut eye and back at the madnes that is the ER in July, at night...
I used to take summers off, now I remember why!
and will again
damn partner and his blown shoulder!

That is funny .... I don't care who you are !!!! everytime I walked by her she would say.....

"Really !?"

Really Twins?

I heard this weekend there are some rules you will be held to next time you visit the Boathouse.

1) You must have Mute button installed.
2) You must wear a PFD on the docks at all times.
3) You must be equipted with a Soap on a Rope.

Not real clear on #3, assume it has something to do with water polution, must be a new DEC ruling. Did notice a funky waterline ring on the Biotch, so I guess they might be on to something. In any event, the Dockmaster has spoken!

Picket lines are getting ugly. 200-250 angry people at a time out there. Verbal abuse is pretty bad, we've heard of a few cars hit with picket signs and some picketers leaning over hoods and windshields and throwing coffee and "other" liquids on cars. Not good!!! I suppose it can only get worse.

My stay at Hotel Nine Mile is over tomorrow at 1800. Off until Sunday at 0600. Looking forward to getting out of here for a while.

Stay focused there Homer! If you need to play the "Senator Powell" card, go ahead. Put me in coach! Hang in there buddy!
