overdue...

Last week Justin Hernandez and Matt Burch spent Monday - Thursday @ S.S.I.D. with Johnny Hardwick. There was continued apprenticeship training in our books, as well as hands on training on the lathe.

Yesterday Justin Hernandez and Matt Burch worked on the oil-cooler end caps for U-15. We drilled and tapped holes for pipe. Plumbing was added, with a pressure gauge. The caps are now ready for test. Jim Hinkley replace the fuel filters in U-14, and declared that unit OK for service. General housekeeping was done as well.

The only person representing the I.C.E. crew was Doug Laflin. Both Journeymen were overtown, and Jay Martin is on vacation.

This morning Justin Hernandez and Matt Burch requested to take U-15 out of service for an overdue planned 4000 hour check. Currently waiting on two units in the CEMS shelter to cal before the operator will give us the clearance for our work to begin.
