It felt good that there was no Rainthis morning but the temperature still reflected the time of year. During my Morning Walk AroundI was able to find more Pipe Fittingsthat I know will soon become part of another project. Since they are just laying around not being used I consider what I’m doing to be house cleaning. As soon I got back to the Maintenance Compoundit was quickly disassembled cleaned then put with the other Fittingsof that size.

When I work on salvaging anything whether it’s Metal, Fittingsor NozzlesI make a point of checking the Paint-Lineevery Hourso that if there are Carriersneeding repairs or adjustments they can be done either by the Lineor back in the Compound. Today I quickly straightened one in the Compoundbut returned it to the Linebringing more Toolswith me. I stayed by the Linefor nearly an Hourstraightening over Fifty Carrierswithout having to go looking for them. I also noticed Paul the Ownerwatching from the end of the Line.

When I headed back to the Compoundhe followed me. Before he could say anything I asked if he had ordered the second Valvefor the Line. When he said no I waved him to follow me. When we arrived at Station FourI pointed to the Valvethat will be replaced and the one he didn’t order. My statement was “I have to shut the water feed to do this Valveand this one leaks just as bad. Why do you want me to shut the water off twice?” He asked what size I needed.

I continued working on the Nozzlesuntil lunch whenI went outside to the Picnic Table. While I was eating and talking to Kathy on the phone a delivery van from Windsor Factory Supplydrove up. It was a new driver and I had to point him in the direction of Shipping and Receiving.

When I finished talking to Kathy I returned to the Compoundto find the Valvethat was just ordered this morning sitting on the Workbench. After putting it in my Weekend Project BoxI continued cleaning the Nozzles. Paul came in but before he could say anything I said “Thank Youfor the Valve”. I got a pat on the back for that before he left.

The sky was much darker then this picture.

I saw Kharen walk by as I started hauling my Toolsto the Truck. He never spoke a word to me and he never asked if I found out where the Waterwas coming from like yesterday.

At the Apartment we workedtogether to make supper, We had Acorn Squashwith Grilled Chicken Stripsalong withLemon Meringue Piefor dessert and a glass of Cranberry Juiceto drink.

The 6 o’clock Local Newsreported17 New Coronavirus Casebringing the Active Casesto 173of which 10were ~~Unvaccinated~~for the Windsor/Essex Region.

In response to a Commentabout the Coronavirus Numbers. I simply write the Numbersshown on the television and pass them along to the readers through our Blog. We find them equally as confusing how they can change from one day to the next.

The Weather Networkshowed our high temperature today felt like 59F(15C). I don’t know who put that report together because everywhere we looked people were wearing Winter Coats. I was wearing a Lined Jacketand I wished I’d had a Sweaterunderneath. The Rainwe didn’t have today will return tonight until Saturday Evening. Just what the local Farmersdon’t need.
