I hate when things that happen come back to wake me through the night. Yesterday while speaking with Kharen he mentioned about having Gaskets for the Manifoldsbut never got back to me as to the size. What really came back was his mentioning Lower and Upper Pipes. I knew about theLower Pipes but not the Upper. There was only one thing I could do to set my mind at ease.

As soon as I’d hauled my Tools and Belongings into the CompoundI put my Coveralls on and headed in the Washer. It only took seconds to know what I was facing.

After doing my Morning Walk Around I immediately started making Upper Pipes. It would have been just some other reason for him to start his screaming. I was down to cleaning the Burrs from the Holes when Kharen showed up. Before he could say a thing I told him he must have been busy yesterday and had forgotten to get back to me about the Gaskets. I also took more of the wind out of his sails when I brought up the Upper Pipes.

As per usual he had me following him down to the Sump Pit where every time one of the Pumps was activating it would spray water towards the Line Workers. It didn’t take long to create a Deflector Shield that took care of the problem.

As soon as I had my first break I called Windsor Factory Supplyfirst to check the status of the Order I had placed the other day. It included Gaskets for the Leaky Balancing Tubethat are identical to what will be needed this coming weekend. Even better is the fact that the Balancing Tube is no longer ~~Leaking~~. It has sealed itself due to the detergent that was put in the water. I recalled how difficult it is to get the Bolts and Nuts off those Manifolds so new ones were ordered.

I spent the remainder of the morning repairing Carriers that had been tossed behind the Baskets. This was the first time I lay eyes on them.

I had a chance to talk to Kathy at lunch time. The Wind was really rattling the Balcony Railing.

I’d barely gotten back to the Maintenance Compound when Tom from Shipping and Receivingshowed up. The Beams that Paul ordered along with materials I had requested had all been delivered. Unlike the Pipes that I needed right away all this was brought into the Warehousefor storage.

The first thing I did when I got home was to take a shower. We were out the door by 4:15 for my 4:45 appointment. That was too much rushing.

Our destination was the Canadian Blood Services building where I made my 132nd Donation today. It seems to take less time then before Coronavirusbecause now you have to have an appointment to go in.

We stopped at theWendy’s Drive-Thru where we picked up supper. Sitting in the Carwhile we ate we noticed Trafficseems to be moving faster as everyone is shopping for Christmas.

The moon was up before got home.
