Well, I am back for a few days from my first ever work related road trip. Tuesday morning drove down to Wolford, MD so that I may work in the Chalk Point generating station. Got there, registered at the hotel, and after that, actually had to go to work. But wasn't too bad, was easy work for the most part and done in a few hours.
The best part is I get to work a detonator. We use explosive plugs to seal some of the pipe and its like on tv. Run wires to the explosives, hold a button, then push another, then boom. Haha, its fun though.
Drove home wednesday and got home around noon-ish, then immediately had to go back out again. This time had to run up to the Hudson Valley region of New York. So I spent a whole day in the van driving. But since I am on the service crew, I GET PAID FOR TRAVEL TIME!!! Woohoo for driving.
Today, I was in New York working in another power plant. Doing more blast plugging, and then a nice drive home. So it was pretty good. Come Sunday, I leave for Virginia for a couple of days, then back to Chalk Point, MD.
