Well, today was a rather interesting and yet confusing day.  We are on a new kind of white starch that, the best way I can describe it is..... salt.  I'm serious, it looks like I'm dumping fifty pound bags of salt.  Other than that, our things to do today were to fill up the blue and silver silos, then when the silver got close to empty, switch formulas so by the time it did go empty, the new formula should be coming out of the dryer so we can run it to silver.  It takes about two and a half hours for briquettes to get through the dryer, and the silver silo holds about eighteen feet of briquettes when it's full.  Here's the confusing part, we continued to run to silver, after we had filled it up, and were still running the formula we were running.  Kinda hard for Bagging to empty a silo we are still running to.
