This 142 cfs (92 MGD, 14,511 m3/h) cooling water intake is located in Albany, NY and provides water to both heat and cool buildings owned and operated by the state of New York. The facility was required to install 0.75-mm slot size wedgewire screens with a through-screen velocity of no more than 0.5 fps (15 cm/s) to reduce both entrainment and impingement in accordance with NYS Commissioner Policy #52. Fish species offered protection by this screening system include river herring (Alewife and Blueback Herring), Atlantic Sturgeon, Shortnose Sturgeon, and tens of other anadromous, catadromous, and resident Hudson River fish species. This project is to be fabricated in 2021 and installed in 2022 and this page will be updated as the project progresses.

Going to be a relatively cold week to start March 🌬️
I guess in like a lion 🦁. But out like a lamb? 🐑 Only time will tell. 🥩 People don’t eat lamb like they used to since polyester and cotton replaced a lot of wool but nothing beats wool for staying warm. I guess if it’s really cold to end March you’ll want a lot of wool and lamb to eat.

Stumbling around a bit this morning I got out for my walk closer to 7:10 then the 6:45 so it was more the rush hour by the school 🚸 then I preferred although there weren’t that many idling cars and buses smoking 🚬 and it was still before peak traffic. But I’m past that part of the walk 🚶.
Pancakes 🥞 with blueberries and strawberries on top this morning. 🍓 My dress shirts are pants are ironed and ready for when I get home and then shower 🚿. Boiled, washed and ironed are my muzzles for the week ahead. 😷 People are celebrating no more muzzle mandates but I like my muzzles and I still have to wear them on the bus 🚍 so I might as well wear it in the elevator. Not sure when they are going to drop the muzzle mandate at work away from the desk but I don’t see the harm of wearing them in crowded locations.
Fixed the broken tail light bulb 💡 in my truck. Apparently the taillight fixture has a leak and had filled up with water and the hot bulb exploded in the fixture. I couldn’t believe how I dumped out a half gallon of water 💦 out of the tail light. I’m actually surprised 🤨 I didn’t blow a fuse. The bottom screw in the fixture was badly corroded but with a lot of WD 40 and a properly fitting screw driver I was able to liberate it. I was worried a bit though as I didn’t want to bugger up the limited thread remaining on the Phillips head.
Didn’t get out skiing 🎿 yesterday as by mid day the snow was terribly sloppy. The truth was I was frustrated 😤 by the tail light bulb and chilled by not being dressed warm enough when I was working on the bulb early in the morning. 🌅 And the truth be told I’m tired and so done with winter, my mind on spring. 🌸 Plus when you keep the heat down to keep the bills affordable I’m already cold. ❄ Plus the clouds rolled in by mid day and the wind picked up and I was working on an R project so I had yet another excuse.
