What Did You Do Today?
8/21/14 @ 3:53 PM
Just wondering what every one does during the day and evening?
Work? Play? Fish? Camping? Gardening? Smoking? You get the idea........
I work up early to put the venison jerky in the dehydrator and took the fiancé to work and then when I got home I made breakfast. I fixed the bath sink and took a nap. Then I sat around having a few beers waiting for the jerky to get done. Tried to read a book but that's not for me. Oh yea, I cut the lawn b4 the rain. I better save sum stuff 4 2maro.
Just wondering what you guys do during the day and evening. Let's here it.

Suspendedmusky,
We still get the smell in the air in Beloit from Beloit Boxboard mill recycle mill in the summer. When Sunoco was running in Rockton we would go past on Sunday and drop off papers for recycling on the way to church. My daughters would always complain. I always told them that was the smell of
money being made. 😎

Last day of fishing on Fox Lake with my buddies, fishing was kind of slow but we managed to get a bunched the last day. Good to hang out with my buddies for a while from Milwaukee and Fox Lake and like I said before first time I got out in a boat in 2 years, it felt good!
Work, then afterwards yardwork, charging boat batteries, and this evening spent some time patching musky lures that have sustained battle damage already this year. I missed a good one last night.
357,
I would have to believe that smell you encountered was from the sulphite pulp mill Rhinelander used to operate in the past, which no longer does. There are/were several paper/pulp mills that I never got tired of the "odor"....the mills that produced mechanical pulp (PGW-pressurized groundwood, or TMP-thermomechanical pulp) for magazine paper. Mills like Consolidated Paper's Niagara, Whiting, or Biron Mills. That sweet aroma of spruce mechanical pulp never got old.

Very interesting! I'll never know how they pulled it off with safety issues and all, but in the 7th grade, they bussed us up to Rhinelander for a field trip. The size and magnitude of it all back then was jaw dropping to say the least! Hat's off!!
I have to believe that smell just becomes second nature...

Yep FH, you and I have conversed for hours on the paper industry. You, my friend, are one of the special ones, a talented individual who built many of the paper making gems the state of WI was blessed to have been operating. You do know the "ins and outs" for sure and kept those machines humming by your precision, down to the tens of thousandths of an inch.
Wishin' I was fishin'

SuspendedMusky,
As you already know, I worked in the paper industry for 35 years and know quite a bit about the "in's,& out's" of what makes these machines run for as long,& hard as they do.
I know what you do, as we've talked about it. That's impressive to say the least.
On that note, the only thing I miss after being a retired Millwright for the last 5-1/2 years is most of the people I've met,& worked with over the years. Definitely not the work.
Times have/are a changing,& not for the good. Enjoy your retirement when that happens,& remember. I'm only a phone call away,...🎣🎣🎣😉

arthur,
I'm sure I worked with you directly/indirectly on several of the large capital projects I was responsible for. Some of the sharpest industry personnel I got to know were Beloit Corp people. I've been to the Beloit/Paperchine facility several times. One of my first job offers from college was from Beloit Corp.
Regarding paper machines, most do not know that as a general manufacturing apparatus, the "paper machine" is the largest contiguous machine in the world used to manufacture a product. In addition, most do not know that daily (without a web break) some of the paper machines that operated in WI could manufacture a continuous web of paper 20+ ft wide, that would stretch from central WI to Jacksonville, Florida (every day)....4000 fpm x 1440 min/day x 1 mile/5280 ft = 1091 miles of paper/day. That's a lot of paper!

West, I can understand your need to rest after an outing. I have the same problem with my bone
C. There are times I just want to say pisx on it. But the angles say come on big boy let's get this done..And I get my butt going, not fast just a little below average for me. God bless my friend.

Steelhead,
You must have seen some “Beloit” equipment in those Green Bay mills. I worked for Beloit Corp in Beloit June 7, 1976 until April 7, 2000 when it closed. Continued in parts sales to industry with Paperchine until July 2019. When Andritz bought Paperchine, they quickly destroyed it. Been retired now 6 years.
