Monday, clear, sunny, windy, 70's. I washed in am took Liz home. Sue went to last swim lesson. Made relish in pm. David and Gerald started work at a pipeline at Carlisle. Barry, Bev., and children here at night, brought Gerald home.
Comment: Brother David and I worked as laborers on a pumping station being built for a natural gas transmission line. Cousin Barry Taylor was working at the same job as a welder. I remember seeing him inside a large pipe welding two sections of pipe together and the smoke and vapors were flying. I spent the first day inside the concrete forms for the huge box-like foundation for the pump hand wiring 8 ' pieces of re-bar together into 18 inch cubes. It was a long, miserable, hot day and Barry, I and David just had to stop at a bar in Central Bridge on the way home and see if we could drink up all the beer they had....and I think we almost did..........not sure why Barry brought me home.....
