Mile Made Changes and Not Cortisone.

It felt good to be able to wear my Thigh Wrap Brace after I got to work this morning. It is hard to believe the difference that it makes as far as easing the Reflective Pain in me Hip/Leg.

After moving a Rebuild Feedscrew to the PTA, Mile came over with a change of how he wanted me to weld it. This Unit had been sent out to a shop in Detroit last week when our Plasma Transfer Arc was out of commission. The result of their welding left a lot of low spots on the Flights that I had been told to edge. It would have taken the better part of the day but, the change made it so by 10:00 the Feedscrew was buried in the Sandbox.

The next Unit has a due date for November the First. The Blueprint was drawn up by the Customer and had a design that none of the Machinists had seen before. Our Engineer Vinnie actually spoke to their Engineer to verify the sizing.

I’ve mentioned before how Flights are divided into Zones because of a transition in the Lead-In Value or the Width. This one ended up having Four Flights that created a Mixer affect, but they narrowed and widened as they went. In the end it has Four Flights with Nine Zones and if the Torch follows the numbers it’s been given, it will change the widths automatically.

It was barely 2:30 when Mile had me put that on the Rack to do more welding on the one he had me skimp on this morning. The Big Problem was I had already added the different Hard-Surfacing Material to the Bin. It took over an Hour to drain it, only Forty Minutes to warm the Feedscrew, and Ten Minutes to weld it. It was after 5:15 when I punched out with only Mile left to close up.

It was a Fast Food night for supper.

The Injection that I am being scheduled to have by the Surgeon is not called Cortisone and is supposed to be like a Gel in the joint itself. Even when I looked the product up On-Line, it did not make any references to Cortisone. Of course companies have been know to change Names just for Marketing.

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.
