Good Morning
50° and overcast. High of 65 with chance of raining increasing until a near certainty overnight.
Yesterday definitely kept me busy. Made a lot of progress on the plasma table, still a lot more to do today.
Replaced the 12v battery in a friend’s Prius, I’ve got a “keep alive” cable that plugs into the OBD2 port and into a jump pack, so nothing gets lost while the battery is disconnected that works great. It’s such a simple idea, I wish that I thought of it. It uses an odd size battery that most places don’t stock (except Toyota dealers). But fortunately I’ve got a large battery distributor nearby that had it, they even will build lithium ion battery packs for tools, and it was less than half of what the dealer wanted.
Today will start with breakfast with the professor, than a Costco run, hopefully maintaining progress on the plasma table.
Most of the mechanical assembly is complete, except for the Z axis, after that it’s on to the wiring and controls.
Did take a look at the biggest tree project, and I’m pretty sure that I can drag the entangled 12” caliber x 30 foot long fallen top out safely with the tractor and a chain, the pick it up with the grapple to cut it up.
