Reviewing the Comments on yesterday’s Blog I realized that I didn’t quite explain the type of Industrial Plant that I am now working for. There are a lot of Automotive Manufacturing and Parts Suppliers in Southern Ontario as well as Michigan. Of those many are Sheet Metal Stamping Plants that send their products to Assembly Plants as well as to Body Shops. The Parts all need to be painted before being shipped.

What this plant does is paint all those metal Parts on a production scale. In order to do that the Parts are loaded on Carriers that are hung on a long Paint Line. (Only Three Miles of Line that loop around the Plant.) After the Parts pass through the Paint section they then go through a large Dryer. When they exit the Parts are removed from the Carriers then stacked in Racks or packaged in Boxes.

Those Metal Carriers are what I was saying I needed to repair and was cleaning up a big pile of them. Before the door opened this morning I was talking to another employee in the parking lot who told me most Welders don’t stay a full month. That sent a chill up my spine but I carried on. I later found out that I am the only Trades Person in the entire plant. (Remember the Jack-of-all-Trades Job Ad.) Another chill up my spine.

Kathy went for another walk around the Neighbourhood this morning and swung by the Book Exchange. When she opened the doors the few books inside looked like they had all been Vandalized. Always someone that has to ruin a good thing for everyone else.

When I returned from my 1:00 to 1:30 lunch Kharen the Supervisor came in the Compound and starts screaming at me. Even threatening to Fire me because he needed Carriers for this New Job now. I must have turned my Crystal Ball off and had no idea what he was talking about but at the same time I understand why Welders don’t stick around. I’ve never been Fired, Written Up or convicted any Crimes Hopefully I’ll have more pleasant things to talk about in the future.

After getting some parts by 5:00 I had produced Two Proto-Type Carries that will each carry a Dozen Pieces. After they are tested in the morning I’ll have many more to make as well as maintaining the other Parts Carriers as well.

I was wiped out by the time I walked into the Apartment. We had the Leftover Chicken Fajitas for supper along with a Chocolate Pudding Cup for dessert.

On the 6 o’clock Local News they said there were 70 New Coronavirus Case along with another Death in the Windsor/Essex Region. They figured the Spike was from people visiting over the Mothers Day Weekend.

With the low Humidity the temperature felt like 91 F (33 C). I turned the power on to the AC so Kathy will survive the coming Hot Days heading our way.

I was starting to fall asleep during the News so as soon as the Dishes were cleaned up I headed for the Shower. That Hot Water eased my aching joints.

We later watched “Nancy Drew”.
