Having trouble staying awake last night after publishing the Blog we were both in bed by 10:00. We normally stay up much later but with earlier waking hours we still need our sleep. I must have really been tired because the Alarm woke me this morning.

When I got to the Plant this morning there were Two Cars already there. Ron and Jeff were already running the Powder Coating System in an attempt to deplete the Backlog.

When I started working last Thursday after seeing a pile of Pieces on a skid and being told that was the project I asked for a Sketch or a Drawing so that it could be properly assembled. To date that hasn’t happened.

After lunch the Owner wanted additional Bracing installed on the bottom of the Floor-pan while the unit was still in the Jig. That would have cause a major distortion issue and holes. No matter how hard I tried to explain that to him he was having none of it. Luckily the Supervisor was there and agreed with what I was saying and helped to move the Unit to the Workbench.

By the time I got Home I had to explain my concerns to Kathy. The more she listened she said it sounded like he was building it backwards and he was.

Long before I worked for Ford Motor Company I used to do this kind of work and it was done completely different. The Floor-pan was built with all the braces welded in place before adding the Walls and Top similar to building a House. What this Owner is doing is building the Roof before the Foundation. I’ll try to explain that to him in the morning.

After taking a shower we were soon headed out the door and back to Windsor. We were almost at Fantastic Sam’s when we realized we’d left the Camera back Home.

We had moved our appointment for when Jenna was on her afternoon shift because of my job. Seeing how dirty I’ve been coming Home Kathy called to make it later. When we arrived we had a slight wait but managed to be done by 6:00.

Since it was so late we needed to have supper. We chose to go to Taco Bell since it has been a while. We enjoyed what we had avoiding the French Fries but we didn’t stay too long because it was freezing in there. With more High Humidex Days happening in our area more businesses are adjusting their Air Conditioning Systems to be even colder.

After we got Home it was raining while the Sun was shining.

We stopped at Pioneer gas station to top off the car before heading Home. We were only Two Miles away when the clouds opened up dropping a lot of Rain. As we parked the Rain slowed slightly so we were only slightly damp once inside.

Just before 9:00 I called my sister Anna in London to wish her a Happy Birthday. It’s been a while since we talked so we had quick catch up. Since she reads the Blog she already knew that I was back to Work.

Tomorrow should be cooler and I hope to talk to the Owner. Thank you for following along and feel free to leave a comment.

Be Safe and Enjoy!

It’s about time.
