I
was busy making progress on the next Aluminium Project at Work
when the Owner suddenly had me start modifying the Extra
Safety Feature we had removed from the Prototype. Once he
explained what he wanted to do he went to the Computer to draw
up the braces that he wanted to add. After lunch he had a business
meeting and I was left to deal with parts that would not fit. With
the help of Gerry the Supervisor the Modified Safety
Feature was finally installed on the Prototype by 4:30
which meant I worked an hour past the end of my shift.
Today
our Humidex reached 97 F
(36 C) and I completed the last Four Hours of my shift
working in the direct Sunlight in the parking lot. By the end
of the day my Coveralls were again soaked and I needed to
consume nearly a Litre of Fluids before I could safely drive
Home.
Kathy
went to walk around the Walmart
in Amherstburg this afternoon. It
is one thing to stay Home when we
are together but another when you are by yourself. She was very
careful not to bump her Hand today but saw enough stars to
fill the Milky Way when she instinctively gripped the Steering
Wheel. She spent nearly Two Hours just walking inside the
Air Conditioned Store. She also managed to find another movie
based on a Real Life incident that we had been looking for.
When
she got Home she was slow to go
inside because the Shade on one of our Windows was
down. Not sure if someone was inside but instead of calling one of
the neighbours over she stuck her head in the Door to see if
anyone else was inside. Not hearing or seeing anything she entered to
find the Shade hanging crooked and a String hanging to
one side.
When
I got Home I prepped the grill
and started cooking supper. We shared a Side of Spareribs, a
Sweet Potato and a Zucchini. It all turned out perfect.
After
the table was cleared I began taking down the Day/Night Shade to
replace the broken string. It didn’t take long to do since I’ve
done it many times but somehow the slight Knot that I had put
in the Strings while I rehung the Shade became a
non-moving Knot. Even with Kathy’s help I had to take the
Shade back down to get that Knot out.
After
I
got
the Dishes
washed Kathy insisted on drying them. We both enjoyed nice warm
showers. Tomorrow is another day. Thank
you for following along and feel free to leave a comment.
Be
Safe and Enjoy!
It’s
about time.

I am very familiar with those gremlins!!! Sometimes they can be scary!!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I hated those shades. Always an issue when one broke. You have the patience and experience.
ReplyDeleteAnother long day for you both. Do you get overtime or time off in lieu of the extra hours worked?
ReplyDeleteI can not believe your heat indexes. I was telling a friend of mine about how hot it gets in Canada and she had the same erroneous impression I had until I began following Canadian blogs that it was always cool in Canada.
