Further Adventures in Baltimore

For the last month I've worked on the refrigeration control system for a brand new grocery store in Howard County. While Howard County isn't in Local 26's jurisdiction it is where I live. After working in Arlington, at Fort Belvior and Ashburn, Virginia it was incredibly nice to have an assignment that didn't have me driving on 95 and the Beltway every day! When I found out that I was being transferred to another job site I figured I'd be back on 95 every morning.

I was right. What I didn't expect was that I'd be getting on 95 every morning and heading north. My new job is to update the control system of a grocery store in downtown Baltimore that had recently been purchased by a different grocery chain and changed over and modernized to bring it in line with the new grocery store's requirements.

It's a fast paced project. Every day that the store isn't selling groceries the new owners are losing money so the days fly by. It also makes for interesting ways of doing things. I've never had a wire pulling cart so easy to roll around!
