Ask and you shall receiveWaiting on supplies for the gennie and resistance soldering unit so back to one of my loves, ho scale model railroads. Making a CNC program to cut chassis parts out of brass. Resistance solder the parts together and maybe sell a few. I have several nice old kits and some parts have zinc pest, zinc pest is a type of corrosion that gets in the metal (zamac, a zinc alloy) when too much moisture is present. So many old kits have bad parts I think this may prove fruitful. I studied a lot of CNC for dummies on YT I have the dummy part down no problem. Already made a couple programs so it's just time and math. Other than that watching Real America's Voice.
Dang Lady, She was always one of my favorites. Still not bad looking as old as she is now.Ask and you shall receive

Well today didn’t go as planned. My car has been hanging out since last Friday at the Lexus dealership getting new brake pads and shims for the rear ceramic squeakers and a replacement front sonar parking sensor that was on the fritz. She would squawk when temperatures were above 75 and the sun was shining. I’ve been driving a wicked expensive loaner suv they gave me in the meantime that I’ve decided I don’t like. I got a call at 3 that it was ready, paid for the fixing, got in the car that had been sitting in full hot sun, and promptly got a squawking sensor. Got out and verified there were no cones or other things hanging around and nope, just a fritzy sensor. Service guy drove back into the technician’s bay and showed them the issue in action. Apparently they thought it was the one next to it that had a small rock chip and it was overcast and cooler until today. They kept the car, ordered the next sensor over, refunded my bill for the sensor work, and gave me a different wicked expensive loaner to use for our week long trip to the coast for our anniversary. Service guy handed me the keys and told me to have a nice trip. Eating ice cream for dinner and contemplating about packing. 25 years of being married and we still eat dessert when regular dinner seems too involved.
Erase the DVR...?!?It's unreal how quickly this place is emptying out. The two shipping containers took up a lot of garage space and the two pickup loads cleaned out most of what was in the garage not in one of those two containers. Another couple loads to storage tomorrow and I will be ready to start packing up "house" stuff, a lot of which is going to be donated. I expected this to take me 5 work days or so and now it's looking like maybe 2-3. Leaving the appliances, futon and cameras/monitors/DVR behind for the contractor took some time off that too.
