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.

You
know you are getting old when
a
dripping faucet causes an uncontrollable bladder urge.
Glad the surpervisor had your back. Good luck with explaining that to the owner.
ReplyDeleteYou deserve to splurge on french fries once in a while
as you both are always eating healthy.
Sometimes it's hard to explain to bosses how things work in the real world. Hopefully he gets it sooner than later. You're only trying to help him out!!
