1/28/2006 - Respirator Fit Test Cards

Today I was working on getting Respirator fit test cards for each person's wallet.  I came up with an ok design, one that is simple yet maintained all the facts needed for testing.

Fit testing and respirator usage training and testing with be offered yearly at recertification. Managers will be done early closer to February.

1. Pool tech meeting
   
2. Picked up Epoxy paint from Superior
   
3. Poured low areas of expansion joint with one quart of filler

1/27/2006

Today I went and checked NOP pool for any issues with the paint. The paint looked ok but not perfect. It was very hard shelled and seemed to be cure enough to fill this weekend.

The main drain would not open. and I removed the bottle pump that was draining the pool. 1 ft is left.

I will be in again on Sunday and hope that I can give details on how the fill is going.

Lifeguard Instructor Class 1/22/2006

Today the class went well. There were 8 participants and they all were very excited about being here. It was my first LGIT class. Kathryn was on baby patrol so I did the class with Doug.

I have lots for tomorrow so I am ready to get in gear.

1/20/2006

Todays list!

1. Cleaned the shed up a little.
2. Started claening the chlorine vats areas
3. Worked with Gary for 4 hours replacing four dive pool underwater lights.  Used SCUBA gear to check out the main drain and clean large chucks of plaster out of the light niches.
4. FIxed the leaking 50 meter pool parker fitting.  Completely replaced and retaped fitting.
5. Swapped out the activity pool strainer basket.

I did not get to NOP.  The joint needs more goop soon, probably Sunday so it will be ready for painting next week.

1/19/2006

Worked on the expansion joint.  Visited Ventura with Doug, Kathryn, Ginas and myself.  The facility was beautiful!

 

Tomorrow there is lots to do!

1/18/2005 (Expansion Joint Day 2)

This dreaded process of pouring an expansion joint is done and the project upon initial inspection looked very clean. I want to thank the team Stu Williams, Kathryn Hugger and Aaron Wall for the incredible job they did! This process started at 2:30pm and ended at 8pm. We actually started pouring the joint at 4pm. That is the fastest one that I have ever witnessed. I have pictures and will post them very soon.

Tomorrow a trip to Ventura is planned and any touch up to the joint should be completed. Also an injector at the Aquatic Center is in need of repair. I will trace down the issue tomorrow morning.

Catch you later!

1/17/2006

1. Started preparing the NOP expansion Joint with Stu.
2. Cleaned up some leaves at NOP and pulled some poles out of the deep end.
3. Bought Weight belts for SASS, from Sport Chalet.
4. Checked VGP Pool.
5. Updated LGT Outline.

Tomorrow is expansion joint pour day and I need to buy more expansion joint Deck-O-Seal.

1/15/2006

I cam by NOP today for a pool check.  I believe the joint should be ready to go by Tuesday if the weather stays good.

 

Have a good weekend!

RE: Moment of silence for 055 1/11/2006

Chris, I will always remember that lonely night last year when we made our post swim meet trash run and 055 let the trash spill out all over Soledad and you got yelled at by the motorist.  It is memories like that that I will miss the most.

 

Long live the new king, truck 202.

I want to take a couple minutes with you to remember my good old friend 055. ........................... Thank you for taking the time as a group to honor my favorite truck in this way.  Today has brought me close to tears as 055 finally left our midst and is making it way to the auction block.  The beautiful parts of 055 were not show in it rustic appearance, in its cracked dash and broken door handle or even the semi- broken backup beeper, the beautiful part is what the truck stood for through the years, the toil it made daily,  to make us and many people around us and before us happy as it hummed down the road with care, only looking for more pavement, and more pavement to see.  This truck was my friend when I needed one and my workhorse when I needed to climb the mountain. This icon of recreation has finally been thrown away for a better model, one with a toolbox, shiny paint job, back seat and ugly light up top.  I do not see a day in the near future where this truck can fill the shoes of the greatest City truck I have ever driven 055.

 

So remember that change is never easy and that trucks die hard.  Here it to 055's life beyond Recreation.  Good Luck 055! May your tires wear slow and your alignment remain straight!

Today I spent most of the afternoon just getting paperwork in order for when I leave this weekend.  I went with Taryn and picked up truck 202 to replace 055.  I already miss 055 and the times spent cruising around the City in that fine beast of a machine.

 

I made a backup copy for the office of the LGT cds.  I picked up my boot re-imbursement check.  I hung the new strantrol tracking forms in the pump room and placed 4 pens there with velcro to last the ages.

 

I am off until Tuesday so until then Happy Pathogens!
