Down at Lusito I was greeted royally by the staff and I too was happy to see them all again.  There has been a lot going on down there and I’m getting caught up on all their news and also their accomplishments. It was so exciting to hear that Menzie and Philile had both written and passed their level 3 apprenticeship exam. 

The welders have been working hard building a “tire cage”.   Once the cage is completed it will be moved into place at our tire station. When tires are being inflated the tire will be placed inside the cage to provide a safer inflation process in the event that a bead doesn’t properly set causing the tire to blow off the rim and launch into the air. I’m sure many of you have seen videos online of what happens when the tire inflating doesn’t go as planned, and the outcome can be quite scary.  This will ensure the safety of our techs as well as anyone else who might be nearby as the cage will prevent the tire from becoming a missile.

The Oil Centrifuge machine has been  installed in our new oil room and is up and running.  By the end of day today the first 200 liter drum will be filled with purified oil ready to be used again.  Both Ross and Arlyn spent long hours investigating and educating themselves on this process in the hopes that it would help the company save money and wisely use the money that is donated.  Seeing it set up and working is the result of over a year of effort and work.  Thank you to both these men for their insight and desire to responsibly use the Lord’s money.
