Well how time scoots. A very busy day. In morning got ready for meeting. Interrupted by attempts to get scale tank tested. Then to meeting which was short. Then back to plant where we found Jones outfit digging under foundations of steam power line. Plenty going on all PM. Got orders to change position of dog houses and quite late heard they were going to cut storehouse in two and move it. 100 p.c. again toward evening and hardly a leak showing. 57 varieties of things going on though. Evening cool and very unsettled. Doesn't seem to know whether to clear or rain. Patton took Kassel.

Marvellous spring day. red heds dog wood, wild crab, wild cherry, apples all in bloom. Tulip trees budding and even oak showing a little fringe here and there. At plant a general feeling of let down. Started day with a big drive for new condensers butthink Buck was here and it all sort of frittered out. Actually boondoggled in afternoon. Home early. Patton is reported approaching Nuremberg and we are landing on islands only 380 miles from Tokyo.
