I was surprised to look at the Temperature Gaugein the Truckthis morning to see that it had already risen tothe Freezing Mark. Looking around there was slightly less Snowon the ground then last evening but there was still too much for my liking.

Even before the start of the shift Paul came around asking why there were Old Water Coolers standing behind the Break. He didn’t like it when I reminded himhe wanted me to work on them back in October. Today he had me scrap them and it didn’t break my heart to see them go as soon as the shift started.

Next I rebuilt a Bracketfor a Forklift Seat. The manufacture had used too lite of materials that could not take the bouncing. It will now.

I then headed back up to the Reverse Osmosis Room. The intention was to finish adding Insulationwherever any was missing then to add the last of the Metal Panelsto seal the wall. Because of the location of the Thousand Gallon Water Tankit was a tight fit that required a lot of twisting and reaching. Once that one was mounted the last Two Panelsalso needed Holesto be cut for Hosesto go through. That would take until my lunch and I hadn’t see Paul since before the shift started.

Luckily I had not worn extra layers of clothes today and by the time I finished the RO RoomI was still sweating because the heat was no longer leaving the building through that room. When I returned from lunch I continued insulating the Lower West Wallthat was missing lots of insulation.

When I looked up part of the Paint-Linewas empty. The Ambassador Bridgehas been shut down for the last ThreeDaysby Truckersprotesting the Coronavirus Restrictions and this afternoon the Linewas again sent home early. The American Auto Industryparts we did today had been rerouted through Sarniaand the Blue Water Bridgeadding Hundreds of MilesShipping Distance.

Some time ago I learned that Losing Weightwas a good thing but when you Donate Bloodon a regular basis periodically you need to have some Beefto keep you numbers in balance. After having my shower Kathy and I headed out to run some errands but first we went to Burger King’s Drive-Thrufor their Whopper Wednesdaydeals. Strange how it cost less this time then the last and I ordered the same thing. We sat in the parking lot enjoying our meal. Kathy was having trouble eating her Onion Ringsbecause she has also been cutting back on her intake. Because I am so active at work I had no problem even though I have also cut back on my intake.

We then headed to Walmartwhere we found some personal cleaning items that no other store has been carrying. We also looked unsuccessfully for a new Calculatorfor Kathy. We ended up at Stapleswhere they had exactly what we needed. We also looked at Printersas we are considering replacing the one we currently have.

It was nearly 7:00 when we got back to the Apartmentso we missed the 6 o’clock Local News. I finally had the chance to check for other Job Ads. I also read the Commentson Yesterday’s Post and totally agree with all of them. Why I continue to forge ahead sometimes has me asking myself “Why?” The fuse can only burn so far before it explodes.
