- Today’s activity was similar to yesterday’s. The
backhoe and dozer worked in the south east as
the sun rose in it. 9:45A was the first flurry of
dump trucks, filled doubly quickly since both the
backhoe and dozer were contributing. Intermittent
dump trucks with an occasional flurries of dump
trucks, moved dirt from the far east side of site,
with most of the good watching behind a hill of
dirt. As an interesting aside, between 12:43P and
1:02, down front on Connecticut Ave., watch the
Pothole Killer (written on the side of the truck,
really) cha-cha as it repairs the roadway. (1:35

- Video - Making up for lost time.
- At 7A the moving pair of lights was the bull
dozer making up for lost time. And by the dawn,
everyone was at a fervent pace of work. The
dozer and large backhoe were cleaning the site
and the small backhoe and crew were working on
the the north retaining wall. There were several
flurries of dump trucks, but most of the work was
digging, piling, and tidying. The heavy equipment
stopped by 3P but four crew worked around the
site until 5P. (1:07 min)

Even though there was no precipitation today,
there was no heavy work on site. A half dozen
crew arrived in the fog and spent the day
unenthusiastically soldering and working on piping.
The forklift moved a few supplies and equipment,
and the small backhoe tried to look productive for
ten minutes. A visually lazy day

Just the prediction of rain stopped work on the
site today. At 7:30A there was one truck on site.
By 9A there were a half dozen crew mulling
around the site. By 10A there was only one crew
on site sitting in his truck by the front gate. At
10:30A a large flatbed truck backed up to the
gate and blocked Military Rd., and at 10:48 AM
the retaining-wall-hole-poking machine rolled
aboard the flatbed and left the site. Around 11A,
the one crew met a “fuel” truck at the gate, and
before noon, the site was locked down.

- Today’s sunrise was included because of the
unusually large range of colors. Making up for lost
time, the backhoe started before light digging
further down at the south retaining wall (far right
back screen); the little backhoe did the best it
could at the north retaining wall and then moved
to the south wall. All the earth moving equipment
dug, piled, and tidied, but productivity was limited
by the lack of dump trucks. (1:36 min)
