It actually felt good sleeping an extra Half Hour this morning after having gotten up early yesterday. As soon as I walked out the back door the forecasted light Rain started and continued the entire trip out.
Once at the Plant I was early enough to take my Coffee and the Print Out Copy of the operating guide for the Plasma Transfer Arc Welder to the lunchroom for more reading. That was more “Information Overload” all before the start of the shift. It will eventually be worth all the confusion.
I had the material for the next Feedscrew mounted in place with the Burners warming it to 800 F before Alec arrived. I had even found the Preprogrammed Specifications that control the actions of the Machine. Some of the measurements have to be changed due to the different lengths and their variables. (+.001/Inch.) When I brought it up for Alec to review there was only one calculation that would have applied an extra Half Inch of material that wasn’t needed. The Pre and Post Heat lasted the entire day until it was moved to the Sandbox for a slow cool.
If
you recall I was welding early yesterday so that we could rebuild the
Mixer
Flights
on a Feedscrew
that
Alec then had to build the Flights
on.
This morning Khalan ran it on the O.D.
Grinder
before it was sent to the C.N.C.
Mill
for the final cleaning. I’ve personally witnessed those too
many times both
the operators on
their Cell
Phones
rather then paying attention to what the Machine
is doing. I’ll have to repair the severe undercut that occurred so
they can try again. (Personally I’d fire them for not doing their
jobs the way they are supposed to and this is the Fifth
Time
just since I have been there.)
Notice the low Humidity
and moderate Wind Gusts.
The Weather Network showed that we felt like 90 F (32 C) this afternoon which did not help Kathy. She had taken her Cell Phone in to the Bell outlet at the Mall which put her in a bummer mood. She was on the verge of tears when I got home so there was only one thing to do.
We headed out for supper. We patronize fast food places a lot but I suggested we try a small restaurant not far away. It was called “Nick The Greek” and it’s been there longer then we’ve lived in the area. After reviewing everything on menu and remembering we don’t eat the way we used to we both ordered a Chicken Gyros Parmigianna. The taste was Heavenly. We also ordered a small French Fry to share. We shared some at the restaurant and still have a lot more to share here at home.
We walked over to the Dollarama where we picked up a few more supplies. A few I need for work like a Notebook so I can better remember how to run that Machine. We also picked up a few bottles of Brisk Lemon Tea Drink that has been helping us keep hydrated on these hot days.
When we came out it looked like it was about to Rain again but we made it home safe and dry. The outing was costly but seeing Kathy smile again priceless.
