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.
