After doing Twin Feedscrews yesterday I was surprised this morning when I was told there was a Third Identical to do. After it was mounted in the PTA and it was being heated there were Two other Screws that needed my attention. It would take until 8:00 before I could totally focus on that single unit. Strangely it took just a bit longer then the second one had yesterday.

By 10:30 it was buried in the Sandbox and I moved on to another smaller piece. I’ve mentioned before I have no issues doing Standard Feedscrews but setting the programming for the Metric ones always causes me a problem.

It was nearly 12:00 by the time I hit the “Begin Weld Button”. Even though I made a few Test Runs without the Arc, when it was the real thing the Torch was all over the place. It wasn’t until after Mile noticed a few welds that were not perfectly straight that a set of Blueprints finally showed up on my desk. I had searched the File Cabinet, around the CNC and even asked Vinnie the Engineer for them earlier. Instead it took me extra time to measure the entire thing with just a Tape Measure. There were Five Zones total but Three joined together to make a consecutive run.

I had given Kathy a Heads Up when I called her that I might be late. I needed to run Straight Line Mixer that I had not been shown how to do. After repeated attempts of changing this then that I was finally able to get it to work. Each Seven Inch Line took exactly Three Minutes to do not including alignment.

It was 5:30 when I punched out giving me a total of Fifty-Six Hours for this week alone.

It felt so good to walk in the Apartment. After a quick wash up we had the Leftover Stir-Fry in Wraps for our supper.

According to the 6 o’clock Local News the price of Oil went down again. That will give us more of a break at the pumps.

The forecast is for Rain all night. When it stops Raining the temperature will be close to the Freezing Mark. We’ll find a way to get things we need finished.

It’s about time.
