Thanks. I am pretty tired, lot of walking having to deal with all the stuff required to catch everything back up. Where I work is huge, 350 square mile complex and no parking allowed within a certain distance of any structures, plus security fences around all the facility areas. So between walking to all the locations from long freakn parking lots, got in a considerable amount of exercise. It was a good thing. I think it went very well my first day back. Tired, but not in a lot pain....so that's very cool. Would have killed me 3 months ago. Heard some great news through the rumor mills, that they want to put me back on my old shift job now that I have healed. Nothing confirmed yet, but I love the peace and quiet of shift work and the bump in pay is well worth it. Only downside is it will change my vendor work time a little. On the bright side, I get a 7 day break every 28 days and could get a lot done. But the downside is less time in between 7 day breaks to do as much. But I think it will work out for the better. Once I get a handle on the backlog, having 7 days off I could knock out the entire months order at once. So thinking it will all balance out. Anyway, feeling a lot less stressed right now due to my issues at work. Also going to take advantage of being on half days for two weeks to try and catch up as much as I can.
One last thing. Came up with an idea over the weekend of how to speed up my finishing process on tips. So ordering parts today to build this little helper tool. Should speed up the time it takes me on CA, sanding and finishing considerably. Got the idea from the pen makers websites. They use a similar tool, just too large for tips. Won't take long to put together and get it going.
Thanks again for everyone's support. Couldn't have done it without the kindness and support for all of you.
