A few weeks back I started complaining to the powers that be. We were WAY behind schedule because my crew kept getting pulled off my project to work on other projects. To make it worse, most of these other projects had deadlines measured in years away while mine is measured in months.
Management responded by telling the crew that my project was top priority and to ignore requests for work by other engineers until mine was done.
OMG...
Progress has been insanely fast since then.
There's still a lot of work to do, but I'm going on vacation next week and I'm betting that by the time I get back all primary construction will be done. All that will remain is plumbing in fixtures and such.
Of course, even when plumbing is complete there's a LOT of work to do before it can be used (procedures written and such), but....
...I'm thinking we may make the deadline.
Another random thought....
I can see further updates on what everyone else is doing around the cannon to avoid the blackout that is the cannon 
Is the deadline itself a grey area?

I think those two search queries alone will probably give you a good idea of what D_hall is up to.Technician1002 wrote:Search Semi-trailer and Pipe Dream.

And in a related, but kosher break from my previous policy... I have a pic.
No, it's not of the project, per se.
Rather, it's of a test fixture. See, I decided that I needed to do some burst disc testing. To do so with the main gizmo would be excessively laborious. Thus, a small chamber to test discs with.....

Are you sure it's not DWV though???:P
My boss at my old job was telling me he was welding thick plates on dump trucks, He had to lay down to see it better,
and he fell asleep in the back of the dump truck!
Those plates look thicker so maybe stay on top of the welders.
Wish there was a vid of that burst-disc tested!!! 8)
