It felt good to use the Truck to go to work that way if Kathy needed the Car she had it. I was running slightly behind my normal time but was still there before 6:30. After clocking in I got ready to start the week fresh. I even spent some of my time checking a job we are supposed to do on Saturday.

As soon as the Clock hit 7:00 I started repairing a few Carriers before straightening more of the Compound. I was finding Air Powered Tools here, there and everywhere. Since there are a number of Tool Cabinets I thought there might be some space in a few that the tools could be placed in. There wasn’t an Inch of space in the first Two but imagine my surprise when the Third Cabinet was completely empty. The Tools now have a new home.

Kharin the Supervisor showed up and assigned me a job that would take up the rest of the day. It required disassembling an old Conveyor Chain using Hand Tools and there wasn’t a drop of Penetrating Oil to be found.

I spoke with Kathy at lunch. She was busy cleaning old files.

I continued with my task repairing another Carrier for extra measure. It was nearly 4:30 when Kharin the Supervisor comes around and starts screaming that I should have left at 3:30. Production was still working and I was in my zone so I didn’t realize the time.

I start closing up and taking my Coveralls off when Kharin returns and starts screaming at me for Punching in early. (The days of punching in early are no longer allowed.) Then he tells me he’s going to take Disciplinary Action against me for that.

The worst I’ve ever gotten were a couple of Speeding Tickets in my younger years. I’ve never been Written Up at work or convicted of a Crime and now I’m a major rule breaker. By the time I got to the Apartment Kathy had to calm me down. Now I truly understand why this place can’t hold on to any Welders.

Kathy made Sweet and Sour Chicken Balls on Vegetable Rice for supper. She also made a dessert plate of Bing Cherries and a Mini Boston Cream Donut.

On the 6 o’clock Local News the Provincial Government is still trying to figure whether or not they’ll allow students to return to in person learning for remainder of the month even with Vaccines increasing and Cases dropping. The Windsor/Essex Region had 14 New Coronavirus Cases bringing the Active Cases to 202 as well as Another Coronavirus Death bring the area Death Total to 427.

The smaller numbers are what we'll feel like.

Today’s high temperature reached 77 F (25 C) but will increase throughout the week until we start to cook on the weekend.

As soon as the News was over I called my aunt Anna to wish her a Happy Birthday. She is so looking forward to the Lock-Down to be over so not only can we go see her again but it will be less Red Tape involved even for her daughters.

In response to a Comment about a Solar Trickle Charger. My mechanic Jim said they work fine but not when One of the Batteries was already dead. Our Batteries were already dead on the Truck before I purchased our Solar Chargers for each of the vehicles. The one for the Car had no problems.

Lets see if I still have a job tomorrow or if I’m contacting the Canadian Labour Board.

Thanks for following along and feel free to leave a comment unless it personally attacks someone for their opinion or is Spam.

Be Safe and Enjoy!

It’s about time.
