 Our Location today is Windsor, Ontario.

As forecasted it was Raining when I stepped foot outside this morning and is expected to continue into Saturday. Some areas would be thankful to receive that but the Local Farmers are worried about their Crops rotting in the fields. Even before this Rainfall we had already exceeded this month’s Average by more then a Few Inches making the Farmers worried about their equipment getting stuck due to the muddy conditions.

When I spoke to Paul this morning he was concerned that there was a new Leak in the roof. Having seen water coming down the stairs from the Lunchroom I started a focused grid search of the ceiling. Not seeing any Drips I noticed the water pooling toward the base of the Water Cooler. After getting my Tools when I opened the base up I was surprised at what I found. I ended up filling Three Large Dustpans with Nesting Materials and Bones. The Cooler had become a Rat’s Den. Workers said the Cooler had not worked in months and from the chewed up Wires I could understand why.

It took time to find the Water Shut-Off since it went through the cement floor. Getting a Ten Foot Step Ladder I shut the valve by the Ceiling next to the Maintenance Compound. The unit was bulkier then it was heavy when I carried it down the stairs and put it on the Workbench. When Kharen came in wondering what I was doing with the Cooler he turned pale and practically ran out when I told him what I found.

Wanting Paul to see the problem I continued getting parts ready for tomorrow. It will be different because Ivan as well as the rest of the Forklift Drivers have to be recertified tomorrow so most of my day I’ll be working with Me, Myself and I. Ivan hopes to get done early so we can get some Brackets taken down.

I stood by the door inside the Plant to talk with Kathy because the Rain had not let up. Having mopped the Lunchroom Floor dry we were surprised to see water again gathering when the Cooler was not there. Finally the Ceiling started dripping telling me that the Leak was located directly under the Roof Air-Conditioning Unit. At this time of year it will take Hot Tar to seal that up.

Kharen was back to his old self and came into the Compound screaming at me that I had to get the Piping on the Compressor and Air-Dryer Units finished. That was what I finished last week. He had to go check.

Paul came in to look at the Cooler. It will take time but is repairable. He also said that Kharen was losing it.

Kathy had been busy going through the old files most of the afternoon but had set up the Crock-Pot to cook part of our supper. We had Chicken with Barbecue Sauce as well as Macaroni and Cheese for our meal along with a Chocolate Pudding Cup for dessert.

We had the Dishes done before the 6 o’clock Local News reported 19 New Coronavirus Case bringing the Active Cases to 174 of which 11 were Unvaccinated for the Windsor/Essex Region.

The Weather Network showed that with the all day Wind and Rain our high temperature only felt like 52 F (11 C). This should continue through most of the day Saturday.

Even though it was still Raining we felt like going for a ride and since I’m still replacing my Stolen Tools we drove to Canadian Tire. It amazes me how you can save Sixty Percent on items. A good example was I purchased a Security Flashlight that holds Three C Batteries for $16.99 a few weeks back. After seeing how well it functioned at work I thought about putting One in the Car for Kathy. When I returned the next day the price was $49.99. They were “On-Sale” again today so we got Two more.

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.

Krackers

Two antennae met on a roof, fell in love and got married.

The ceremony wasn’t much, but the reception was excellent.
