Had to give the plant manager a ride home today. It was nice. He's a real chill guy.

Work was solid still learning a lot of stuff. Pretty much spent my time dealing with the two big problems we're having. With the straightness issue we've gone to testing every bar we have at night. I feel really bad for the guy that does this:( It takes like an hour and a half per bundle and he sorts 6 or 7 bundles a night. He only does this once a week. But seriously that's be awful. We'll have to thank him some how. Still don't have a route cause on that. Peeps are working on it and hopefully we get something next week.

With the rolled in scale we found out today that the problem is probably wider than we thought. We found the problem in other bars outside of what we originally thought were bad. Also we originally thought that with some grades the problem would draw out during our process so we'd be fine. That's sorta the case but we're still kicking out probably one in every three bars for this issue. The rolling mill wants to sort the hot roll to try to see what we can and we cannot use. Us at cold finish really think this is a waste of time since we tried to do that earlier in the week and it doesn't really work. You cant really tell whats up until it goes through the shot blaster. We're gonna move forward with sorting the stuff we already ran. We're also working on getting in new hot rolled material to fill orders we already have. That's gonna be an issue. It'll all work out though.
