Things I Have Done.

As mentioned in last night’s Blog, I had the chance to sleep in by an Hour this morning. There was considerably more Traffic, but the rest was the same.

I’d brought my Electrical Testers with me just in case I could fix the PTA this morning. Mile was impressed and didn’t know I would have such tools.

I suspected a particular Drive Motor on the Oscillator, so the first thing I did was to check the Wires. It amazes me how a Machine that has been in operation for over Five Years could have an Electrical Connection come loose after all that time. The Connection was just sitting there, only needing a twist of the collar to lock it in thus making it operational.

Mile was happy that it was working again but wanted to show me another Problem. The Feedscrew that I had TIG Welded all the Cracks on the Bearing Area last week had another Crack to repair. We were just talking when he mentioned how old he actually is. Since his birthday is on February 29th none of the other employees actually knew his age. (Now it’s my secret.)

Once yesterday’s Unit was out of the Sandbox and being heated on the PTA, I returned to grind out the Crack on that Bearing Area. I was just winding that up when Mile and Jovo showed up with pieces to make an extra Wind Guard, for when we are welding Bearing Surfaces. (A chill ran up my spine because of the poor design.)

Once they left I was getting ready to start Welding when Mile showed up with another Specialist. Pat the Consultant had suggested smaller Burners that could be easier controlled. Presently if Two Burners are in use, the Polishers cannot use their Air Tools to clean up the Units, because the Large Compressor is not big enough. I’d told Mile yesterday that I had made Burners many times before, but this Company can certify the burner as Government Approved.

The Plasma Transfer Arc runs on the same principles of the CNC Mill, yet it will not follow the numbers they use to machine it with. Today the Flights were set at a Ten Inch Lead, but by the time I was finished my numbers were showing Fourteen Inches and I had to stop the process Eight Times to reset the Oscillator a total of Seventy Inches, but they don’t want to have it serviced. I finally punched out at 6:15.

Kathy was watching the 6 o’clock Local News when I got home. We had another Medium Store-Bought Thin Crust Veggie and Cheese Pizza for supper since it was nearly 7:00 when we ate.

With a Winter Storm forecasted for tomorrow, it could be a short work day.

It’s about time.

How do you know when the moon is nearly broke?

It’s down to its last quarter.
