Wow... what a day.  Dust collection plugged up, had some overflow on both the press and the wet shaker.... and that all was before my friend's shift started today!  The messes got cleaned up though, let Mitch keep an eye on the starch for his first day.  He was having some difficulty at first, but, he got better as things started to cool off.  Only other thing that happened today was, as I was taking a bin out to the material piles to dump, got the forklift stuck on a soft spot.  Had to get the loader drive to pull it out.  Wonderful end to the day there.

So, we're back on yellow starch.  Yippee.  Press overflowed, so, had a bit of a mess.  Also had a bit of an accident when the forklift was dieing on me.  As if the thing wasn't jumpy enough.  Went to grab a starch pallet on the third level, ended up grabbing a bag on the second and pulled a couple off.  Yea, wasn't a good day for me with the forklift.  What a day, huh?
