Slow progress, some pipe welding going on. Toasty 106 degrees with a nice breeze (blast furnace-like).
TCS - but the wind chill brought it down to 102

'Nyuk nyuk' is right. If I had read the bloomin' link I would've learned that it's just a transload and processing facility. I asked 'cause I live in the middle of ethanol corn country, and there are enough "huh?" reasons to question ethanol production in SoCal - not the least of which is the monstrous amounts of water it uses.
Carry on. :omg: |

Centerline stakes for the unloading tracks follow the service road, appears they'll switch it from the west end.
TCS - deadline a GEVO wasteland but the other stuff keeps leaving :headspin: |

Sounds like the Deadline is going to become a Roach Motel.

A pic of the current work area, looking south east. The track center line is the row of stakes.

Turnouts being installed yesterday and today, looks like two tracks. Access road temporarily blocked.
TCS - but I got some info on the Riverside local for next week's chase. |
