13:57 Lola8088 Hallo!
14:01 Tom_itx ahoy
14:26 rue_bed hello
14:26 tobbor Hello rue_bed
14:30 Lola8088 Chips Ahoy!
14:52 rue_house did I just sleep 12 hours?
14:52 rue_house even 11 is crazy
14:54 Tom_itx you lost an hour too
14:54 Tom_itx at least we did
14:55 rue_house oh
14:55 rue_house right, that was just mentioned to me
14:55 rue_house computer does it auto
14:55 rue_house almost everything here is by computer
15:07 Tom_itx breakfast lunch n supper?
15:39 rue_house ok someone stand by with an extinguisher, I'm gonna try to make an omlet
15:41 Lola8088 heh
15:41 Tom_itx got a new george foreman grill that does a fine job on those
15:41 Tom_itx came with a deep dish tray
15:47 Lola8088 I'll buy a George Forman Grill if they use his face for the grill lines.
15:48 Lola8088 They could have different plates you could buy with different expressions...
16:16 useless-afk <ebay> buy this now! a George Forman image on toast!
16:45 Lola8088 Now THAT's what I'm talking about.
16:55 rue_house lunadry folding robot?
16:55 useless-afk luna-dry, or laundry ?
16:56 rue_house lunadry folding robot? its great, all the way to the neatly folded dryer sheet I get with every load.
16:57 useless-afk there's been sheet-folding machines for decades
17:17 rue_house :)
17:32 rue_shop2 I have all this awesome carbon from cleaning out the boiler tubes, not sure if I should put it int he garden or not
17:37 rue_shop2 hmm my drool is between 8 and 9...
17:38 Tom_itx how'd the omlet turn out? pure carbon?
18:58 rue_house little raw this time
19:36 useless-afk carbon from fire is prolly contaminated with other chemicals from the turpentiney and tannic acidey stuff the fire processed
19:50 useless-afk this is normally when i'd say what i got done today, instead i'll go watch the crap on tv till i feel better
19:52 Tom_itx what did you do?
19:52 Tom_itx i did little
21:29 useless-afk i got the smallest car backed up, turned around, and centered tween the overhead lift , and headed into the covered area where the bridge crane lives, got the doors and hood off it
21:29 useless-afk turning it around in a space = to it's length, when it isn't running, was a trick
21:30 useless-afk i did put a weak battery in it, enough to turn the engine over slowly, it will turn, it has compression
21:31 useless-afk it won't run, never has, the fuel pum,p went bad yrs ago when the tank filled with rust, before i got it,, but the injector does work, and the engine will fire if manually fueled
21:50 useless-afk it's a lil 3-cyl engine, i figure it can make a nice tractor engine around here , moving me and boat parts and dirt and stuff around the side of the mountain
21:51 useless-afk the 4-cyl from the Mazda can easily turn the dual genny setup, and a water pump and pretty much anything i bolt to the frame it's on
21:52 Tom_itx rue_house
21:52 Tom_itx do you have the original bootloader for your arduino2560?
21:53 Tom_itx i seem to have misplaced mine
21:53 useless-afk the rig the Mazda is aimed for : http://designerthinking.com/generator-big.html
21:56 Tom_itx looks like a fair sized generator
21:58 useless-afk the Chinese say each is 30amp @ 240v, i seriously doubt it
21:59 useless-afk but 20amp @ 240 is good, and i can rewire for 40@120v each
21:59 useless-afk so turning both, i can make 40a@240v or 80a@120v
22:00 useless-afk most of the pont was being able to turn the one generator to change the phase relationship between the two, without touchng it, and while it's running
22:01 useless-afk if i rotate the one 60 degrees, and add in a 208-120 transformer, i will have a true 208 3phase system for powering the cheap 3phase motors people keep throwing out
22:02 useless-afk if i turn it 90 degrees, and rectify both gennies, i get overlapping power deliver, and need no capacitors to get a dc supply
22:02 rue_house you were talking about 3 phase I remember once
22:03 Tom_itx rue_house
22:03 useless-afk makes for better battery charging too, if i ever build a big battery bank again
22:03 Tom_itx is your 2560 still in tact?
22:03 Tom_itx default bootloader etc?
22:03 useless-afk in tact, or is it tactless?
22:03 useless-afk "intact" is a word that doesn't mean what "in tact" might mean
22:06 eless-afk looks at the floor as she figures out no one wants supplemental data to improve their l
22:06 rue_house Tom_itx, its for the reprap, nothing else
22:07 Tom_itx could you save the bootloader and upload it for me?
22:07 rue_house hahah
22:07 rue_house I dont know if I can extrude it
22:07 rue_house isn't it downloadable?
22:07 Tom_itx i purposly saved mine and now i can't find it
22:07 Tom_itx i dunno
22:07 Tom_itx probably
22:08 Tom_itx it's on one of my drives somewhere
22:08 rue_house have to do the kittylitter and laundry
22:08 Tom_itx just can't locate it atm
22:09 rue_house shop is still running, didn't get groceries
22:09 eless-afk shudders at doing kitty litter in the lau
22:12 eless-afk leaves in shame, climbing out a window to leave faster than using the
22:15 rue_house ?
22:17 Tom_itx i'm not sure which one to use
