After surviving for over a week on Multiple Doses of Extra Strength Tylenol, I made it a point to try not using any over the weekend. There have been some trying moments, but due to the fact that the Doctor prescribed Muscle Relaxers for the problem, I got through by simply sitting down when things got too bad.

It was another weekend that I didn’t get to the Gym, but caught up on my missed sleep. Kathy and I again woke up together, so that was a big bonus for the both of us.

Since the package of Cinnamon Buns that Kathy bought this past week was so large, we again indulged ourselves for breakfast, before taking our Coffees over to the Computers. I’ve been leaving few comments lately, as I’m trying to get caught up reading all the posts that I’ve missed. Once that happens there will be more Comments made, more often.

My sister Anna called today to wish us both Birthday Greetings. We also had a lot to get caught up on and spent over an Hour talking. We were lucky to be able to use the Speaker option so we could both be in on the conversation.

Split Pea with Ham Soup for lunch, along with Mandarin Oranges,
along with Nanaimo Bars and Yogurt Cups for dessert.

Even though we soaked our feet yesterday, Kathy was having issues with her left foot. Back in 2009 we went camping for a week with our Grandsons. Kathy helped them make Sandcastles at the beach and ended up with a Fungal Infection in her toes. Due to her Diabetes she was eligible for at home Foot Care, but Mary from Healthy Heals has not been in a while. Since Mary showed me how to tend to Kathy’s feet, for when we went away, I was able to resolve the issue for her after lunch. Kathy said her foot felt much better.

The reason we didn’t go out yesterday to celebrate Kathy’s Birthday is because we like to celebrate our big days together. If you are wondering how that works I can explain. Since Kathy’s Birthday is April 29th, and my Birthday is May 1st, we have celebrated them together on April 30th since we have been together.

I had though of taking Kathy to Eastside Mario’s, but then realized how weighed down that would make us feel.

Checking on-line at Harbour House, I would have had to make reservations last week for today.

Discussing our choices, we ended up going to the Michigan Diner, closest to our location. We had Halibut Fish with Sweet Potato Fries for our meal and we even had a dish of Ice Cream for dessert.

Next we ran a small errand. We went to the Tim Horton’s location, nearest to Windsor Feedscrew. At work whenever someone has a Birthday, they but Coffee and Donuts for everyone else. Kathy saw how expensive that can be.

Being there also gave me the chance to show Kathy an easier way to get to the Plant in case she needed me for something right away.

We stopped at Pioneer gas station, to fill up the Car. I was surprised to see Diesel cheaper than Gasoline today.

We had an enjoyable day together.

We both enjoyed waking up together this morning, though I deliberately lingered a bit longer, so Kathy would be the first in the Living/Dining Room. That was where she found a Birthday Card for her on the Table.

Breakfast was a simple Cinnamon Roll with our Coffees at the Computers. That was where I read aloud the last paragraph of last night’s Blog, along with the growing list of Birthday Wishes from our readers.

The day started out very Cloudy but by later in the afternoon, there were blue spots appearing in the clouds. We waited until 12:30 before putting together lunch. The Omelette I was making did not stay together, so the simplest way to fix it was to make it like a Sandwich, with Egg on the top and bottom, while putting the Stir-Fry Veggies with Mozzarella Cheese in between. It looked different but tasted just as good as the others. We also had Grapes, Chocolate Truffles and Yogurt Cups for dessert.

The Wind later blew for a couple of Hours, so that gave us an excuse to treat ourselves to an Epson Salts Foot Bath. It didn’t just make our feet feel better, but our stress levels melted away as well.

The 6 o’clock Local News was over before we settled in to have Italian Wedding Soup for supper, along with Strawberries and Tuxedo Cake for dessert.

All the Kids were called their Mom with Birthday Wishes as well. Throughout the day the list of On-Line Wishes continued to get longer, for which Kathy wants to Thank You all.

We’ll be busier tomorrow and that will help you understand why we stayed home today.

Surprising and Not.

Not Surprisingly my day would finish the same as it started. The first thing was beginning my work day earlier than the most of the work crew. Then just before the shift ended, a Feedscrew in the final stages of cleaning before shipment, had a noticeable Pinhole in a Flight. (Set up time was greater than the actual job.) I started at 6:00 and punched out at 4:02.

During the middle of the day I managed to weld on the PTA, Two Seven Foot Screws both with the Stellite 83 Hard Surfacing Powder. What was different was the Mixers had to be welded using the Comoloy 56 Hard Surfacing Powder. All the beads of weld were only the width of a Pencil Lead, 7/64ths or .11 of an Inch wide and only took 53 Minutes each.

Even with the Plasma Transfer Arc working better than the recent past, it was not Surprising when in the middle of different Zones on both the Units the Torch changed its programmed course.

What was Surprising was Mile not wanting me to load the remaining Twenty-Four Foot Feedscrew into the PTA, for an early start on Monday. With a more complicated design then the last one, it could take as much as Twelve Hours to complete.

Another thing that was not Surprising, was when I walked out of the Plant, the Rain was pouring. According to all the Weather Guessers, it’s something we’ll see a lot of for the next week.

Tonight's supper, Sweet and Sour Chicken on, Vegetable Rice
with Strawberries and Tuxedo Cake for dessert.

Since Kathy was tired and just went to bed, I can Surprise her, by wishing her a Very Happy Birthday tomorrow, when she reads the Blog.
