After getting to work early this morning I would work past 7:30 moving Feedscrews around, bringing some closer to the OD Grinder, others to the Buffers and finally getting a few to where I could start welding on them. When those were finished I then had to start moving the TIG and Arc Welders to do repairs to the Units still mounted in the Lathes.

By the end of our morning break I was totally caught up so I had to find things that showed I was ready for another job. I replaced the badly scratched Lens in my Welding Shield but that was a little challenging when the Replacement Lens had to be shaved down because they were too large to fit my Shield. I did a thorough cleaning of the Carriage Gantry which was the first time since Alec left. I also tore apart the PTA Torch to be sure there were no plugged Feeder Tubes before the next job.

When lunch came around I was not happy to find that I had once again forgotten my Cell Phone at home which meant I could not call Kathy. Strangely as she was having her lunch she was wondering why I hadn’t called before spotting my Phone still plugged in across the room.

It seemed like everyone waited for the end of the day to need Touch-ups or Repairs. Even Mile the Owner was amazed how little clean up was needed on some of the welds I put down. Vinnie the Engineer was not happy when I showed him a Screw I needed to build up the edges of some Flights considering it was supposed to be shipped tomorrow. Then just as I was closing up for the day, a Rebuild Feedscrew was brought to the PTA. It will be done tomorrow and I punched out at 3:45.

I had Planned to go to the Gym after work but not before checking that Kathy was okay. Walking in the Apartment shortly after 4:00 put a smile on her face as she pointed to my Phone. After sitting down to get caught up my eyes closed for a while only to open when Kathy said supper was served. With the help of our Crock Pot she had cooked a Chicken that had been frozen at noon. Tonight it was Hot Chicken Sandwiches with more meals to come this week.

The 6 o’clock Local News showed we can expect a roller coaster ride with our Weather for the next week ranging from Freezing Sunny Days to the Warmer Cloudy Mixed Precipitation ones.

We’ll see what tomorrow brings.
