Another strenuous day. 6"main steam lines to racks Nos 1 and two developed leaks. Luckily above the valve. Worked a whole with Main relative to condensate tank. Found pressure of 11# with no blast through seal!!! In PM tried to get Beddoe lined up on new pressure freeze off system. So busy with miscellaneous nick nacks of jobs, never got anything much done. Weather has turned cold and raw.

Another frosty morning, clearing to a lovely afternoon. Not very busy. All my men working hard. #2 condensate pump finally back in service. Find Jim Main doesn't like figures collected by Plott on L.P. condensate. May have to do over. Rode home with him. Took quite a walk west beyond - way beyond the single tank.

Clear frosty morning - right down chilly but cleared to beautiful day. Morning paper confirmed that our troops had found Ludendorff Bridge at Remagen unguarded. They seized it and are pouring across - what a break. Not very eventful at Plant. Worked out scheme with Jim Main for measuring condensate. Plott to do it. Not other matters of great importance. Wrote Mary. To bend. Seems Major didn't like my inquiries at Chem & Carb. Went over to library and studied.

Raining. Found Main had led left his desk locked couldn't work on estimate. Find condensate pump shaft badly butchered. Stillite wearing surface had disintegrated. Came home. Took a nap. took a walk to Roberts place at Delaware Ave or more accurately Delmar Circle. beyond water tanks.
