One Down and More Wildfire Smoke.

Our Location today is Windsor, Ontario.

Other than a very lite Rain as I drove to work, the ride was uneventful.

I had a similar event at work, when I simply dug the Rebuild Feedscrew out of the Sandbox and set it up to weld. When Mile saw me moving it with the Crane, he turned around to check on other pressing issues. I had hoped that it could be completed with another single Pass but it came up short. When the second Pass was applied, there was no argument as to whether there was enough material. It was in the Sandbox shortly after noon.

Even though I worked through my morning break, I was able to sit down and enjoy my lunch. Due to an Alarm on one of the Lathes going off, I had to go outside to call Kathy. She was just getting ready to go out for a walk around the grocery store. She does that so she can use the Shopping Cart to hold onto for stability. I had to cut the call short, when the Rain started pouring again.

One of the Raw Shafts brought in last week had already been channelled and placed on the Rack for me to weld on the PTA. When I could not find the Blueprint for it, I simply went to the CNC Mill. There was an Identical Shaft also being channelled, so they still had the Print. I didn’t need it for long, just enough to verify the numbers to be put in the PTA Spreadsheet. With the Screw mounted I ran a Test and it worked perfectly.

When I looked at the Clock I was surprised to see it was near the end of the shift. If there is one thing I hate to do, is to have to reheat these more than once. Since I have to leave early tomorrow, I told Mile I would start early to make certain it’s finished before I leave. He was happy.

With all the Road Construction happening around the city, I tried a different route coming home this evening. It shaved Fifteen Minutes off my home commute.

We talked for a bit than Kathy was asking me what we were having for supper. I didn’t realize that my eyes had closed for nearly an Hour.

Looking out the Balcony Door we thought the area was being hit with Fog since the temperature was dropping. According to the 6 o’clock Local News it is more smoke from the Wildfires in Quebec being blown our way.
