Rod,
1.  Fuku talked to Harada and he still wants you 16 Feb so do make
reservations.  Mihoko made reservations for you and Yutaka starting
Sunday night, 15 Feb. at the Wing.  I know sometimes you like to arrive
a day early to adjust.  If so, Email Mihoko, Fuku or I, to get
reservations for the night of the 14th.
2.  EDPC.  I'm meeting with them Monday to propose an alternative to
their spec to divide the water pool.  If successful, that change will
significantly reduce our risk.  On the price problem, we must hope that
the Yen strengthens.
3.  NTT's PLC.  Do you remember my ever suggesting that there wouldn't
be a PLC panel view in the control room?  I have no idea what the fuck
Bob is up to.  Would you please read Tom's messages to me, then get with
Bob and see if you can make sense of this mess.  Sorry to dump on you
but after these last messages it is clear my problems are more than just
wire not yet shipped.
4.  On an up note, Jim Smith and Don Petersen are off to a decent start
at the site.  It is not almost clean, they have checked most parts and
there doesn't appear to be any show stoppers, ergo, flushing should
start on schedule and hopefully we'll be ready to run towards the end of
the month.
5.  Re: Bob,  I know you can say I told you so, thus I am doubly
embarrassed to ask for your help but I do need it.  You have my
permission to do anything necessary to get that PLC working on time, to
include firing Bob and recruiting Steve.
Regards- Omar
