Dave works in the overhead in the Machine Shop on Orion.

He and Mike found some panel covers that they needed.

 

 

In Orion's CIC, Frank is removing sound powered phone jacks.

 

 

Denny visits his old shop on Orion.

 

 

The weather was getting rough, so we had to leave our parts on Orion for pickup the next day. We headed across the nest to the end ship, and waited for the barge to come alongside. A tug was called out to act as a break alongside, providing the barge some calmer water for us to get aboard.
