When I was told to just blend the edges on a Feedscrew yesterday I told Mile he would be having me build it up again today. I must have had a Crystal Ball because an Hour after the start of today’s shift guess what I was told to do. Of course, he didn’t like being reminded so next time I’ll simply do it my way.

One of the advantages of sitting in a Small Plant while doing delicate TIG Welding is you can hear things happening around you. I mentioned yesterday how we were running out of Argon because our Supplier said they had no Electrical Power. While sitting, concentrating on the task at hand, I could hear the clanging of Compressed Air Cylinders being moved around in our compound. That put a smile on my face. Once I had finished the job as I was winding up the TIG Welder I found the Argon Cylinder had just gone empty. Good Timing!

I managed to load a Left-Handed Metric Feedscrew into the PTA that I was told was “Past Due” but there was no Date written on the Tag. Since it was a larger Unit, I made certain to have everything ready for an early start tomorrow but then it happened. As I ran a Test to see if the Torch would follow the Numbers, it started wandering off wherever it wanted. Everything was double checked, but I had the same results. It could be an interesting shift tomorrow.

It was 3:36 when I punched out. Kathy was happy to see me in the Apartment shortly after 4:00. The Wind had nearly blown her off her feet earlier but when I came in there was no Wind at all. As we were talking about our day, I suddenly felt extremely Tired. The next thing I knew it was nearly 5:30. I must have needed it.

Kathy made Sweet and Sour Chicken on Vegetable Rice for supper.
