Soo Locks Coffer Dam



Soo Locks Coffer Dam, originally uploaded by Don Campbell Models.

Engineer Day Soo Locks- While we were checking out the leaking coffer dams I noticed this picture of some early equipment they used .
What a difference now and then with the equipment used.
Alpenfest 5K Run 2010 – This morning it was 35 degrees but Deb and I took off running on the Alpenfest 5k Course for the second time. I was very proud of Deb as she ran 2 miles today . I completed the race course in my normal time so I was pleased with that. We plan on going and running that route several more times before race day in a couple weeks.
Weightwatchers- Deb and I got a perfect plan for breakfast , lunch and supper and do great with our daily points . But after supper we have been messing up with a poor choice on our snacks the last week.
So the last two nights we are back on track. I just had fresh chunky salsa on 5 baked scoops, 5 strawberries with a half a cup of fresh chopped pineapple, and a small kids size box of raisins. Now that is a much better evening snack.
Frost warning again tonight – Last night we had our first frost warning for a while and it hit 33 degrees in a couple areas . Tonight they are saying it again.
P&H 5700 mining excavator- I am still working on the last parts on the lower end of the model. I sometimes misjudge the last week how much more time it will take to get the last parts designed and done. I’ll be in the shop tomorrow morning working on them again. Each day I get closer to getting done.
Hope your having a great summer !!
