Good morning. Still way above freezing here, although the wind is going to be gusting above 45mph for the next few days, so doesn't feel quite as warm as the thermometer suggests.

Kev, with the sewing machine pedal, are you thinking of adjusting the current in the brake coil by connecting it in series, without a separate brake controller ? This could work, although only if the resistance just happened to be the right amount for the brake. Also it would need to have an adequate power rating, or else it would get too hot. A quick web search suggests a small single axle pair of brakes pulls in the region of 6A when on hard, the bigger 10"/12" drums a few more amps, so the brake coil is only going to be around 2 ohms or less. My guess is that unless it is an industrial sewing machine, it probably won't have the resistance range you need and could start smoking. Have you heard of someone who has tried this before ?

Got the 502 Bad Gateway, too.

I think it's Eric's fault, he left the gate open and his lambs got out!
Besides he got the error first...

and perhaps someone could explain:
HTTP Error 502 Bad gateway
Introduction

A server (not necessarily a Web server) is acting as a gateway or proxy to fulfil the request by the client (e.g. your Web browser or our CheckUpDown robot) to access the requested URL. This server received an invalid response from an upstream server it accessed to fulfil the request.

This usually does not mean that the upstream server is down (no response to the gateway/proxy), but rather that the upstream server and the gateway/proxy do not agree on the protocol for exchanging data. Given that Internet protocols are quite clear, it often means that one or both machines have been incorrectly or incompletely programmed.

Coffee is done brewing. 49° with partly cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 64° with mostly sunny skies. Doctor apportionment for wife this morning. Then help neighbor with some downspouts that need to be removed and replaced.
Drew, got the 502 message couple of times. Hope to goes away. Several forums that I watch have been having problems last few days.
Good Morning All.

Good Morning, 30 here with our high going all the way to 66. Have a have a Deep Massage/ PT appointment this morning, then some work this afternoon. Still working on end of the year bookkeeping/taxes at night. Not doing much, I wait till the end of the year to do all my business bookkeeping.

Eric, I actually was looking at a speed control pedal for wood tools Amazon.com: SE 975PS Foot Pedal Control Switch for Compatible Power Tools: Home Improvement and it says 1.5 amps but not ohms. No I do not know anyone else that has done this, that is why I am asking here. I was hoping this would replace the controller, otherwise I have no idea how to wire it up. I am a carpenter and really need help with this stuff, electric stuff not my forte. And now I have another question for you, with the raising of sheep that you do, does your wife work with any of the yarn crafts? Yes, I do know there I a lot of process between sheep and yarn, just curious.

RNG, LOL if I did a drawing, no one could read it.

Don,

Post the make and model number of your pressure washer. I would be happy to do some sleuthing on your behalf. I really enjoy the challenge. :)

29 this morning and headed to 48 today. Should be a good snow melt day. Rain coming in sometime between lunch and dark.

Back to the chicken coops today. Crusted one more house yesterday and then quit to take son to my parents to play in the snow. Well he went to sleep before my sister got there and slept through the whole thing. Will finish crusting this morning and then do some washing since the weather will be nice.

Don. Also try pressure washer flow control switch. But a model number would be of great benefit.

Drew. Been getting Pharse errors all morning. And very slow.

RNG, LOL if I did a drawing, no one could read it.

As Eric suggested, and assuming the foot switch is nothing more than a variable resistor, wire it in series with the brake coils. It's acting to limit current flow, so put an ohm meter across the leads coming out of it and make sure that resistance drops as the pedal is depressed. Ideally resistance would be infinite with the pedal all the way up. Also make sure it's rated for the current being drawn. If the foot pedal is rated in Watts, that 6 amps will put out almost 90 W @ 12.5 volts. That's a LOT of heat.

Please don't use ScotchLocs! They physically damage the wires, which later fatigue and break inside the Loc, so they're not making contact but look like they are. For a while I switched to PosiLocks and PosiTaps, but really the best way is to strip back 3/8" of wire, tin it with a soldering iron and rosin core solder, then use a single strand of copper from a multi strand wire to wrap the two conductors together tightly. Then solder them together, and finish up with a coat or three of liquid insulation for a waterproof joint. Or better yet, route all wires to end at terminal blocks and use the correct crimp on eyelets.

Don't be one of those guys who's work I've had to rip out and replace. Draw it out on a piece of paper so that when you come back to it in six months or a year you can figure out what you did. Not to mention the poor SOB you sell the thing to when you're done with it. I don't mean to sound harsh (well, yes I do) but the absolute CRAP work I've seen on the trailers, trucks, cars, and motorcycles I've had to deal with is just this side of criminal. Spend the money to get the correct color coded wire, terminals, and crimp tools, plan and document your work, and you'll never have to do it again. Try winging it and taking short cuts, and you'll be back here crying in your beer over some weird behavior nobody can help you with because the only solution is to rip it out and do it right.

Good morning! 59˚ lots of sunshine. The pressure washer info is a few post back, I'm soaking it now.
Looks like a decent day before the wind starts coming from the North tonight and the warm "Gulf of Texas" air gets pushed back to sea.

Good Morning! 42F @ 6:15 AM. Some clouds this morning will give way to generally sunny skies for the afternoon. High 59F. Winds NNW at 5 to 10 mph.

We're supposed to have a few days of blue skies until the rains return toward the end of the week. The new electronic ignition system for the big touring bike has finally arrived, so it's time to get it wired in (NO ScotchLocs and it comes with a schematic!) and get the bike out for a shake down cruise. The next ride is President's Weekend down to Death Valley, and I want to be ready!

With all that snow on the ground back east I hope folks there take it easy going into the new week.

Morning All.

We are way stuck. We have some snow drifts 4' or so, and the bucket is up top, the tractor down below in it's shed, the 4x4 snow plow truck is in the drive way (we shoveled 40-50' so far, plus a dog walk, the carport, and the deck). The plow blade on resting on blocks about 70' from the truck...

Good Times!!!

We've got lots of wood, water, and a full freezer...

Be well all,
David

Good Morning. 0900, sunny, 46F with 84% humidity. Forecast high of 64F with no chance of rain today, and a low of 45F tonight. My old Dr Pepper, Good Hot Or Cold Thermometer said it was 29F inside my shelter at 0630 this morning. It wasn't bad at all though. But I did decide to come home to use the bathroom. I had already put on my thermal overalls, and the thought of taking them off, then finding the right tree to lean up against was enough for me to come home. As it turned out, Margie forgot to feed the dog, so it's a good thing I came home. I am thinking about heading back to start a fire and make coffee.

It looks like this is it for this cold spell here. My 10 day forecast has no freezing temps. {Oh happy day}

You guys have a good one,

Larro

Took all the way to California after the US Army battled down to Mexico city. We may have paid them a stipend, even though we had just kicked their rears. (This after many raids by Mexicans after Texans had defeated Santa Anna.)

Mexico took it from the Spaniards after the Spaniards had taken it from the Indians.

Before that the different tribes of Indians took it from each other. I bet when two dogs get together they say, "it's a man eat man world out there."

Pretty day, still cold but getting above freezing, maybe this stuff will melt.

Question, do you use the chemical injection part of the washer? It appears the white box is a part of that. If you were to take the soap injector components off, then your hose would screw into the unloader. The unloader is what is calling for pressure or shutoff.

You could screw a cap onto the threads and just remove the soap injector...if your soaking doesn't fix the issue. Otherwise, you'll need to research for a replacement soap injector.

Is this your pump?

Found it by model search - China firm selling the pump. Notice it lacks the soap injector, probably made by another China firm.
