[Sir Napsalot]

I'm alone here at Napsalot manor for two nights while Lady Napsalot is visiting her sister in the northlands

 

[raratt]

Two loads of laundry washed, waiting for the towels to dry the rest of the way. Groceries bought and put away. Need to go grab a six pack at least, beer shelf is borderline. After that I'm done. BLT's for dinner. I have been such a good wife today.

Armorless undersea cable, start to finish.
Fiber optic cable gets wrapped in steel wire on spools, then gets a copper sleeving welded over it in the second shot.


Then the copper coated spools go to extrusion line, gets a polymer coating, then cooled in water trays that run forever. You can see the finished product overhead.



Goes into huge creels underneath, then the ends are tested here.
Then down the elevated high line a thousand feet to the harbor to be loaded onto a ship.
About 800 miles of undersea cable on that load, light duty stuff. Most the armorless cable has multiple layers of protection, armored cable is usually coated again with steel and tar.

Saw some A-10's lined up for takeoff, fearsome planes. That last one is going to jetblast me in a second.
I heard them first, then saw 4 Warthogs taxiing thru the trees, forgot there was an airport there!

Usually, they are preparing to cross the Atlantic, probably Nat. Guard deploying to Europe for the summer.

Easy day, did a few more sheet rock repairs in GV. Also jammed and trimmed a doorway between the living area and the dining room.
Got a pic of the TV cabinet after it was painted and it's shelving and crown molding installed too.

Better to get them under control before it gets bad, if they aren't flowering Neem and insecticidal soap will kill them.
