This
morning it was not hard to tell that we are beginning the downward
slide of summer as I had to activate the Wipers a few times on
my way to Work. As per usual I
was the first to arrive followed by Ron Ten Minutes later.
I
started the day working with Carter finishing the job of etching all
the Serial Numbers in the pieces I started the other day.
Since nobody showed me how to do it the other day I asked Carter to
show me how to program the machine so I won’t have to wait for
someone else to do it for me next time.
When
that was finished I reclaimed some material from the Scrap Box
to make a Secure Stopping Device
to use on the Rotisserie. When I had suggested it Three
Weeks ago the Owner had said it wasn’t necessary but his
method is “Unsafe” because it
wasn’t reliable.
It
was half way ready when he showed up wanting another modification on
the Jig. It wasn’t needed but I said I would and did do it
but pointed out what I was making. As soon as he started to object I
said his method was “Unsafe”
and this was only taking my time to create it. He agreed.
Since
I get up earlier in the morning Kathy senses my absence and has been
getting up around 7:00. That gave her time to run an errand for me
today. I mentioned how Cutting Wheels had broken and struck my
Left Hand. The pain subsided but yesterday there was a pain in
my Thumb as if there might be a Hairline Fracture. She
was looking for an Elastic Tape that would add pressure to the
digit and take the pain away. She was at the Shoppers
Drug Mart in Amherstburg before
10:30 but had no luck. Heading Home
she dug through our First Aid Kit and came up with a few
things for me.
When
I spoke to Kathy at lunch it was Raining quite heavy back Home
while it was only partly cloudy where I was at. The Rain Gauge
would later indicate that a Half Inch of Rain had fallen
in an Hour.
Kathy's lunch looked like mine. |
The
Architect finally delivered the needed measurements so the
required Layout Templates could be made. By 1:00 I was busy
tacking the Brackets on using the TIG. The Owner
thought they should weld on faster but that’s impossible. Aluminium
loves to get rid of Heat and since everything was clamped to
the Steel Workbench it also had to warm up before the tacking
could take place. By the time I left for the day Four out of
Six modules were ready for welding on a different Bench.
Kathy
had spent the remainder of the afternoon going through the File
Cabinet and removing the out of date folders. She didn’t stop
until after I walked in the door. She commented about the Salt
Stains on my T-Shirt cause by the warm temperatures I was
working in.
After
relaxing for a few minutes Kathy made Strawberry Shortcake for
dessert to go along with the Microwaved Corn on the Cob and
the Spare Ribs I was outside grilling. It all tasted great
leaving us Satisfied but not Stuffed.
Still Cloudy. |
Then
the headaches started. The other day I attempted to order some
Welders Coveralls from a Distributor in Alberta
but it didn’t go through. When I contacted the
Distributor they said it was our Credit Card
that was the problem. When I spoke to a Credit Card Representative
this evening they said there had been nothing charged or attempted to
charge to our account in over a month. When I tried to order the
Welders Coveralls this evening it went straight through. It
wasn’t our Credit Card that was the problem.
Next
I had to call Bell about our High
Monthly Charge. Neither Kathy or myself use our Phones for
anything but to make and receive calls. Somewhere somehow Kathy’s
Cell Phone had the Data turned on and Apps that
we don’t use were having a field day updating at our expense. That
won’t happen again.
When
I finally took my Shower
it woke me right up. We've been having some Rain and distant Thunder. With tomorrow being Friday I’m looking forward
to the Weekend.
Thank
you for following along and feel free to leave a comment.
Be
Safe and Enjoy!
It’s
about time.
