So today at work was just a bunch of messes.  Press overflowed, dust collection plugged up.  It was almost as bad as a smoker day, except without the smokers.  I did another catch up episode for Gamer Thoughts too, played Dungeon Lords this time.

So, the reason the Gamer Thoughts episode for yesterday still isn't up is because I'm having issues with the upload to youtube.  I'm working on getting it caught up, but for now, no episode tonight.  Other than that, I'm just glad we stopped running smokers.  Today was a rough day...

I have the Gamer Thoughts video recorded, currently uploading the youtube, but its a long upload.  I'll have it posted as soon as it's done.  Other than that, today was a pretty easy day.  Filled up the silos and had some down time for a bit.  Only bad thing is we are starting smokers tomorrow.... Ugh.

A bit of a hectic day today, several messes.  I can honestly say I probably dislike broken briquettes from the dryer about as much as I do smoker briquettes.  Everything went better towards the end of the shift though, other than my supervisor's wife had to go to the hospital because she hurt her back.  Hoping things are going well there.

So today we had a lot of issues at work.  The oscillator belt motor burned out, hammer mill got jammed up, and we ran smokers, which means there were quite a few messes on the ground.  Smokers are essentially a briquette where all we run is lime, sawdust, starch, and, today, borax.  The good thing is, before the shift was over, we were back on regular briquettes, so tomorrow should be better.
