We; wife, puppy and meownself took a little road trip yesterday, the weather looked nice.
Walked around Berry NSW. Bought stuff we didn't know we needed, lunch at the Pub.
Glad we did, rained last night, cold and gloomy today so is a nice INdoor day today........
 
Tip one back for me. I've got a half shift tomorrow. I have to load a coil of steel for the plasma table. It's so much easier when everybody's gone.
I used to do the drafting for a steel companies gas and plasma tables!
Yes, it is easier when it's quiet. We had a gantry crane system,
covered the half football field plant, stores were under cover.
 
Our operation is a bit smaller. A 5x20 bed with four coils. I have to load the coils with a forklift from the side. I need a lot of space. Plans are in the works for a self-loader for the adjacent laser, at which point they better figure out a crane system if they ever want to use the plasma table again. As it stands, our 14000 lb forklift doesn't fit to load the front spool any more, so I have to spin off about 5000 lbs and load the coil with a smaller forklift.
I miss my old job where we had overhead cranes to offload trucks and load coils, but that place succumbed to progress. Its now a light rail corridor.
