Our Location today is at Windsor, Ontario.

It was again slightly cool
when I left for work this morning but after looking at The
Weather Network
that is about to change.Grandma Rose, Kylla and Kathy.
I had just gotten my Coveralls
on when again Paul the Owner
shows up before
7:00 with a Shipping
Basket of Carriers.
The problem was that someone last night set a Heavy
Skid on top of it
thus crushing most of the Carriers
inside the Basket.
Those also were the Carriers
that would be needed within the first
hour. Forty-Five
Minutes later they
were all straight with only Eight
having suffered any heavy
damage.Kylla and her Birthday Cakes.
As soon as that was done I went about my Morning Walk around the Paint Line and Mezzanine again surprised that the Ovens had not been turned by that time.
Returning to the Compound
it didn’t take long to get all the Frames
cleaned up before starting to measure them for their skins.
I was just about to start shearing the Aluminium
when it dawned on me I needed to fasten them together. For those that
are unfamiliar with Metallurgy
you can’t weld Aluminium
to Metal
so they have to be fastened with Screws,
Bolts
or as predetermined by the Supervisor
to use Pop-Rivets.
For the next Seven
Hours I was busy
using a Hand Drill
making holes for the
Fasteners.
That is something that puts a lot of pressure on a
person’s shoulders so
I’m certain it will be an Extra
Strength Tylenol
night.Nova loves swimming in the pool as much as Sanford
which is unusual for St. Bernards. She wears a Life Vest
since she tends to sink rather then float.
I did speak to Kathy at my 1:00 lunch. She managed to get out early enough to get some Birthday Gifts for this evening.
By the time I left for home at
the end of the shift there was
only a single Frame left to drill holes into. Kharin
was happy with my progress.Appetizers.
The shower really helped revitalize me and we were soon on our way out the door. Our destination was our daughter Karen’s home in Tecumseh to help celebrate our granddaughter Kylla’s Birthday. Her Birthday is actually Saturday but since she’ll be leaving for Toronto in the morning it was chosen to celebrate early.
A number of her friends that we’ve met many times before the Virus also able to attend as they have all had both Vaccines making us comfortable. Greg worked his magic on the Barbecue and in no time had grilled fully cooked Hamburgers that were done to perfection. Add a couple of different Salads and the meal was perfect.

What put it over the top was when
Karen served the Birthday
Cakes with
Ice Cream.
Kylla appreciated all her gifts before everyone headed to the
backyard. Even the dogs Sanford and Nova took advantage of the pool
while Harry their Sphinx
Cat felt safer
watching from Eric’s arms.Harry watching the activities.
By 8:00 that big meal and my
early work hours were having their affect on me. We got our Hugs
and Handshakes
and were soon on our way home.Karen gave Kathy and Rose a blanket because
every time Nova got out of the pool she would
shake herself off in front of them.
As soon as we were in the Apartment I turned down the bed and got comfortable. It seems that typing out the Blog helps keep me awake. Since we didn’t see the 6 o’clock Local News we didn’t see any reports about the Coronavirus or any Weather Reports for the Windsor/Essex Region and I know that I won’t last until the 11 o’clock Local News.
I’m going to have a lot of Blogs to read this weekend to get caught up.
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.

For a while Houdini used a trapdoor in every show. I guess you could say it was just a stage he was going through.
Judging from your postings I believe you are the perfect person for your current job if it wasn't for the odd relationship with the supervisor. Your knowledge and expertise for all the different challenges you are faced with, you mastered them easily and management must be impressed. Perhaps Kharin and you need to go for coffee sometime to get to know each other. ;-)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Kylla, what a pretty young lady! We have a cat just like that missing in Yerington, owner is offering $5000.00 for it's safe return. Dinner looks yummy along with the pool!
ReplyDeleteI think Marlene's suggestion is a good one. I have worked with many Kharins over the years and discovered it is a cultural difference that causes the problem. Once I realized that, it was easy to establish a friendship. You have been promoted very rapidly, head greaser, boss of the filter department plus you are allowed to be creative in repair and design work. You would be bored at any other job.
