Mike has some funny stories about this “smelter” of theirs. He came home for lunch today and told me that he had told the guys there that they had to have an over shoot of some sort for the launders in case there’s a plug there has to be some place for all this hot metal that’s coming down the shoot to go. Next time he checks they have built a shoot which comes off the launder and just goes out into space 50 ft up in the air and would drop the hot metal on a concrete slab below where people walk all the time!! There would be no warning or anything. You’re just walking along and 2 tons of metal at 2000 degrees drops on your head! Oh hello! Now if you thought that was funny, listen to this. They got this guy who’s a welder, OK. Mike walks by him and he’s welding away, but he has no eye protection from the welder’s flame which can actually blind you in seconds. So the guy opens his eyes, sees what he wants to weld next, then closes his eyes and lets go with the torch!! A few seconds later he stops the torch and sees how his weld is going, then he closes his eyes again and starts the flame up! Are you picturing this, no welder’s head gear at all. Actually the Indians just think of the Zambians as expendable. If he goes blind they’ll just replace him tomorrow. Unbelievable. As for me, I’m just blogging and washing floors, cleaning house and having a low profile!
