Warmer Morning and Comment Reply.

 Our Location today is Windsor, Ontario.

It was nice going outside this morning to find that Nature had cleaned the Truck and Car of what it had left behind last evening. There was still a lot of the White Stuff on the ground, but the Temperature Gauge in the Truck showed that it was above the Freezing Mark. By the official time of Sunrise, we were back to the Freezing Mark for the rest of the day.

The main roads had all been cleared but the Plows were still out looking for any problem areas.

In response to a Comment, I am definitely appreciating this job much more that the other. Everyone is treated with respect and willing to help one another if there is a problem. There is also no “Backstabbing”. If something goes wrong everyone works together to resolve the issue.

Unlike the Machinists and Polishers, I am the only Welder in the Plant. There are a couple of Machinists that try to do smaller welding jobs with the Arc Welder (Stick), and I actually give them pointers on doing better welds. With over

Fifty Years of Experience in my work, it’s nice to share tips to help someone improve their technique.

After using the TIG Welder to touch up Three Feedscrews, I would spend the rest of the day rebuilding a small Two-Inch Screw. Being so small meant that I could only heat it enough to take the chill out of the metal before running each of the Three Passes adding up to One Hundred Eighty Thousandths of an Inch thick. Each Pass only took Ninety Minutes to run so I could take care of personal needs unlike the larger Units that took Three and Five Hours per Pass. It was resting in the Sandbox when I left at 3:47.

I stopped at Guardian Storage to collect our mail before heading to Motor City Community Credit Union to deposit my Pay Cheque.

Kathy was happy to see me home before 5:00. We talked for a bit before I made Veggie Wraps for supper using Leftover Stir-Fry.

Looks like we have a stretch of Seasonal Weather heading our way, so we’ll just have to be careful when out driving.

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.
