After kissing Kathy and telling her that “I Love Her” I was soon on my way out the door headed for Work. I actually took my time getting there and only punched in Forty-Five Minutes before the start of my shift.

I had chance to clean up my work area before Gerry my Supervisor showed up. He was there to help me weld the structural supports on the Floor-pan of the Unit. You could see the difference that having the Floor-pan flat on a steel table could make. No warpage, no big gaps and the welds were extremely neat looking.

When the Owner finally showed up he again was making changes to the design but he liked the way the base turned out. When he said that I simply said you have to build the foundation to your house before you add the walls and the roof. We started adding the Hydraulics from another unit only to find that the Hoses were much too short. While I kept working on assembling the Upper Structure Gerry went to get new Hoses made.

Lots of Dust in the air from neighbouring farmers working their fields.

I was asked to finish welding a different design Tailgate before leaving so it would be cool enough to handle in the morning. That added an entire Fifteen Minutes to my shift.

When I walked in the door at Home Kathy was already cooking supper. She made Twice Baked Potatoes with Cheese and Salsa along with a Zucchini as well as pan fried a couple of Salmon Fillets. She figured that I worked hard enough that I deserved a good meal. She also topped that off with Strawberry Covered Yogurt for dessert. I’ll never loose any weight this way.

While I got washed up Kathy did the dishes which allowed us to be out the door by 5:30. We headed to our son Kevin and daughter-in-law Melissa’s house in Amherstburg for our weekly visit. We had plenty to talk about including what it was like for me being back to work. The only problem I’m having is that I am standing all day and when I’m using the TIG Welder do so while standing on One Leg as I use the other to control the heat of the machine.

As mentioned since my return to Work even Kathy is not sleeping as late like being awake by 7:00 this morning. Even though we were wide awake we were both feeling physically tired. After hugs we were headed for Home but we were hearing McDonald’s telling us they had Dollar Ice Cream Cones calling our names. We couldn’t be rude so we made our way via the Drive-Thru to answer the call.

With all the Cramps that I am feeling in my legs it could well be an Extra Strength Tylenol night to help me sleep. Thank you for following along and feel free to leave a comment.

Be Safe and Enjoy!

It’s about time.
