Need to cut the grass again in a day or so. Wow. That chore just started.

Wife back from road trip. My turn in a day or so.

Not much on the agenda today, day jobs, dump runs...exciting.

Hope all have a good day, be safe.

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.

Wagtail had me looking up what a star picket is
learn something new every day

Popgadget, you need another ten feet in that workshop, bet you never thought you would fill it up so much when you built it.
best part is that since your sons will be living on the property, you can just leave it for them.

Good Morning!!!! 48F @ 4:00AM. Areas of fog early, becoming sunny this afternoon. High near 75F. SSE winds shifting to W at 10 to 15 mph.

Sold a come-along yesterday, grocery run, stopped at Harbor Freight hoping to find a caster to replace a broken one on a furniture dolly. Came away with one with what I hope is the right sized wheel; evidently they don't sell the same dolly anymore, or casters for it, either.

Played around with a little spot welder I'd hoped to use to make up a replacement battery pack for Makita tools, but motorcycle battery wasn't strong enough to make a good weld. I'll have to give it another try when I'm up north with the battery out of the VW.

Got my Costco rebate, spent some of it on a nice Bourbon that they just started carrying.

Gonna get the DR brush cutter cleaned up today, then post an ad or two to get it sold. Not much use for it here in the 'hood.

Supposed to be another SpaceX launch this morning, this time with the booster landing at Vandenberg. Makes a heck of a boom when it reenters.

Hang in there, gang, Friday's comin'!

Good morning! 55˚F heading to 75˚, cloudless, sunny skies, N winds.

The yard grass took off after the inch rains Tuesday, I'll have to set the mower up a notch before I mow today. Three lantanas did not make it thru the late Summer drought and winter and I will need to go to Home Depot to find replacements for some color in the front yard. Easy day.
