work walk and wander

work went well today
everyone in a good mood
boss said he was actually
caught up with everything

worked really hard again
today did inventory
lots more to go again

basically stuff just piled
into a box with client names
then write name date on paper
and then put in alphabetical
order on another paper taped
to large box full of stuff

did a cast modification
poured two legs well from the
knee down to the feet
there is a sock on the leg
tied at the toes
a long one and then quick
setting material wrapped
around the limb at a set
degree then cut that with
a saw like the ones they use
on peoples casts so they dont
like cut their leg off
and it comes to be and i
tape that up and put plaster
cloth tape on it and fill
it with plaster and then
strip it There is a mandril
that goes down the inside
of the leg when its poured
and there are marks in indelible
pencil on the sock that gets
to be transferred by yours
truly as i peel gently and
slowly the material away
and leave the plaster

takes awhile
i use a short knife
and an exacto knife
and a pair of pliers
and i put the mandril
horizontally in a jig
and work away on it
rotating it and then
tightening the jig
as the form is revealed

then there is build ups
indicated by depth by
nails and a lot of sanding
off of material and
plastering and etc etc

and that is just one
leg form stump done
usually there are like
three or four to do
per two days or less

cleaned the machines today
too of gindings of cork
outside bags for dust
etc

did a lot

walked home
went downtown on an
errand

now have to rub Loris
feet

damned tough life eh

she bought some chicken
and chips from downtown
it was delicious

well gotta go and touch
her feet

***shiver***
