April 18th

Well, we did not get the tanks on today. It seems that we are short a hose that needs to connect to the tanks before we can set them in place. I did get the "pads" put on the octagons today. They are the part that the tanks rest on when mounted. I was tasked with getting all of the wires from the load cells mounted on the octagons to the junction boxes. This is something that I enjoyed doing. Kinda brought back memories of my last job. Also had to run the wires from the junction box to the bundle of wires and hydraulic hoses that will be going to the seeder. these were 45 feet long. The fabrication that was done today was on the "catwalk". I had to make a brace that would support the end of the catwalk. Normally this catwalk would be supported on the tank, but since the tanks "float" for weight measurement, I had to make a support brace. Tomorrow I think we will set the tanks in place, put the tongue on the commodity cart and possibly test the scales. Again, we will have to wait and see if this comes to fruition.
