Ooof the rain wont stop

 Rainy season is very much at hand.

This month there waa a few bours of sun, but then back to clouds and rain.

After the constant heavy rainfall alerts on the 10th, it has not abated, people are adapting. School back in session, and traffic is back.

Business is slow.  Lots of inquiries, few sales. 

I need to really push sales today. However the social media girl lives in a place that has the road cut off due to floods, and her home has terrible internet, so I am not holding my breath.

Topping it out, the business manager got his wallet, money etc stolen from his dining room table.  So now he will be late.  Which means he cant clear the inbox and follow-up too.

I am estimating 3-4 workers late or absent today.

I will be hiding in my office today. AC on and prepping some CAD files for laser.  The Russian engineer last year did a set of blueprints for a extrusion machine using angle bar.  

It took us a month to build it.  

However now that all the dimensions are more or less proper, i can convert it to flat 3mm plate parts with tabs to align everything. 

This will turn that job into a day of fabrication.  Kinda.  That is first attempt assembly and no practice.

The 10hp plastic shredder with practice takes less than 2 hours to assemble the frame.  3 days for everything including epoxy paint. Based in those numbers i can expect 2 weeks for thevextrusion machine assuming all materials on hand.
