It was again on the nippy side this morning though I was dressed in layers I wasn’t wearing any ~~Gloves~~. Paul was interested to hear about my weekend which was interesting since it was only a single day. Considering that I leave the Plantand he lives there I now understand how it would sound like an adventure to him.

Everything was going well at the start of the shift with all the Pumpsand Fansrunning as they should. Paul waved me over pointing to the large pieces that caused a massive problem on Saturday. There were Carriersthat had been used on another project like this but they needed to be modified.

He had no sooner walked away when all the so called experts started making other suggestions. Kharen the Supervisor who was responsible for the weekend fiasco was keeping his mouth shut. When I asked his opinion he said he’d gotten in trouble for not doing it Paul’s way before so he said I’d be wise to do it that way.

Having recovered material from other CarriersI was able to use those to create the CarriersPaul wanted. After tacking only the first one I brought it to Paul for his approval. He had me change the spacing but said the rest was perfect.

I then returned to working on the Vertical Pipingthat we’ll be replacing inside the Number 4 Stationpart of the Washer. Each time I completed a section I would put it with the others outside of theCompound. Each time I did that I kept seeing something I didn’t like on the ATV Salter.

The Exhaust Pipewas pointed directly at the Plastic Salt Binthat was only a Foot away. I’d seen some Collarscollecting dust in the Compressor Roomand a piece of Two Inch Steel Pipe. After reshaping the Pipe and CollarsI was able to assemble them on the ATVredirecting the Exhaustdown and away from the Salt Bin. The Batterywill be disconnected and a single Tackput on the one Collarso the rest of the Exhaust Tipcan be removed if necessary.

I was just about to call Kathy when Avry came running over for my help. The Sump Pit at the end of the Washerwas overflowing and he needed help. I suggested he get Paul since he knows the system better then anyone. Before Paul arrived we had added the Submersible Pumpto help the Two Sump Pumpsthat could not handle the amount of water. We found the Number 3and 6 Tanksto be overfilling which then Overflowedto the Pit. Once that was adjusted things dried up rater quickly.

Kathy had just returned from running an errand at Dollarama. Thinking we had gotten Two Knee Bracesyesterday we were surprised to find one was an Elbow Brace. It was our fault we didn’t look at the second package thinking it was the same because it was on the same hook. It worked so well that besides making the exchange she also picked up another pair.

After I got home I got busy on the phone getting something verified. I waited on Holdfor Twenty Minutesonly to have a Two Minute conversation with the agent.

For supper Kathy sauteed some Breaded Celery Rootto go with our shared Tourtiereand a slice of Black Forest Cakefor dessert.

The Weather Networkshowed we had ahigh temperature today of 37F(3C) but it felt much cooler.

After a relaxing shower I started downsizing the number of Vitamin Containersfrom yesterday’s shopping. There were over Six Containersthat fit in the One. Another larger Containerwe had Threein the One. There are still more to do but I’ll be making a trip down to the Recycle Binstomorrow.
