There was more of that White Stuffto clean off the Truck this morning but I was glad it basically dusted off because it was too cold to spend much time outside. When I walked on the Snowgetting into the PlantI was surprised to hear it crunch below my steps.

Since purchasing mynew CoverallsI’ve been limiting wearing them to Three Daysso the dirt doesn't get too inbedded in the material. I’d just finished putting my clean Coverallson when Avry came into the Compoundsaying there was a problem on the Paint Seal Blower. Climbing up to check the problem it was easy to see that the V-Belthad blownapart. I’d brought the Toolsthat should have gotten me through most jobs only to find that someone had used Cap Boltswith Allen Headsinstead of a basic Hex-Head Bolt. It took extra time but since that is theThird Stageof the Linethe Five Minuteslater that it took did not matter. When I got back to theCompoundI looked down to see my clean Coverallswere dirtier then the ones that I was about to bring home.

That was when Paul came along to tell me we had lost a Window Panejust before the end of the shift last evening. With the Cold Airstreaming in guess who had to dress for the great outdoors climb through the Roof Hatchand repair the problem.Ten Minuteson a roof at those temperatures is not something you want to do every day.

I never saw Paul the rest of the day so I worked on all the different Carriers. When I spoke with Kathy at lunch she was having issues with the Televisionbut would wait for me to deal with it when I got home. I didn’t see Kharen anywhere today.

When it came time to head for home I had to chop through thick Iciclesthat had formed on my Windshield. The Sunmelted the little bit ofSnowon the roof of the Truckthat I missed and when it dripped down the Windshieldit froze solid.

The first thing I did after getting home was to reset the Televisionusing the Remotes. After I cleaned and chopped a fresh Pineapplefor us to eat this week Kathy made a Southwestern Saladto go with Personal Sized Chicken and Broccoli Piesfor supper along with a Sliceof the Banana/Pecan Cakeshe baked the other day for dessert.
