See the red refueling tank in the lower left corner of this pic? Well, all the equipment shown backs in to refuel at all times of the day and night Do you know what the equipment says when backing? Makes me say BLEEP! |

| That elbow is not sharp enough, plus it washes out while workers are at dinner. Tide comes in higher than expected | ||

| Working at night to repair washed out pipe and get pipes turned 180 degrees back to the south. You can see 180 turn in 12-13-02 below along with bypass discharge to gulf. Look at far right edge in middle. | ||

All remaining now is clean up some clay that got pumped out at the
last (Pump12-21-01 above) And removing the pipe -- about four miles worth. Each section is from 495 to 530 feet long. that's only 45 or so sections for 4 miles from the jetties to Seabreeze. |

| But, is it worth it. Nature seems anxious to remove this hump protruding out to the east between mile markers 4 and 4.5 | |
