08:40 katsmeow-afk [07:37] <katsmeow-afk> it was almost 73f yesterday, now i's 37f
08:42 Tom_itx 11° F
08:43 tsmeow-afk shi
10:00 katsmeow-afk you cannot just study to be a Zimbalist, you haveto be born that way
12:16 katsmeow-afk Welcome aboard the TT Jahre Viking, a ship so huge that when fully laden she can not pass through the 32-mile-wide English channel that separates England from France, what to speak of the Suez and Panama canals. For, when laden, she sits 24.6 metres in the water
12:16 katsmeow-afk 81 ft
12:54 katsmeow-afk news reports ; veterinary medicine ; cat takes drug for heartworm and flies ; man orders drug from ebay ; man does not fly ; man sues drug company
16:31 rue_house it was obviously for the cat
16:31 rue_house gettin cold out there then eh?
16:31 rue_house not so warm out here now
16:32 rue_house need to go start a fire
16:34 Tom_itx blistering 27° F now
16:35 katsmeow-afk 41 here, but i have stayed inside
16:36 tsmeow-afk has finely tuned multitasking, doing projects down here till there's handfulls that need to go upstairs for sawing or pounding or fiberglassing, then staying up there till there's handfulls to bring back
17:14 katsmeow-afk uuhh,, ii ffiibbbbeerrggllaasssseedd mmyy ffiinnggeerrss ttooggeetthheerr
17:14 Tom_itx better than superglue
17:15 Tom_itx gonna rewire the control this evening i think
17:15 Tom_itx add in one of those cards
17:15 tsmeow-afk
17:19 tsmeow-afk still ponders why the news report of the TT Jahre Viking, a ship with 24 meters of draft, cannot use the English Channel, which has an average depth of 63 me
17:20 katsmeow-afk ooh,, they mean "cannot pass completely thru"
17:20 katsmeow-afk From there eastwards the adjoining North Sea continues to shallow to about 26 m (85 ft) in the Broad Fourteens where it lies over the watershed of the former land bridge between East Anglia and the Low Countries.
17:21 katsmeow-afk http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broad_Fourteens
17:21 katsmeow-afk Geological issues
17:21 katsmeow-afk The shallowness of this area means that the largest oil tankers cannot traverse the English Channel from the North Sea to the Atlantic Ocean because their draft is deeper than the depth in the Broad Fourteens.
17:43 Tom_itx mmmm pizza

22:21 Tom_itx updates
22:22 Tom_itx http://tom-itx.dyndns.org:81/~webpage/cnc/psu/control8.jpg
22:22 Tom_itx http://tom-itx.dyndns.org:81/~webpage/cnc/psu/control9.jpg
22:24 katsmeow-afk well, damn, you managed to get all the wiring in and out in a pretty professional looking setup there, Tom
22:25 katsmeow-afk heyyyyyyy,, wait a sec, why do your electrolytics look bashed in?
22:25 Tom_itx they were made that way
22:26 katsmeow-afk i saw some like that on ebay a while back, but i could sworn you had uses others
22:26 Tom_itx local shop
22:26 Tom_itx the new card is on the left
22:27 Tom_itx nothing wired to it just yet, jus the serial and power
22:29 katsmeow-afk see your two top corner mount bolts? you can put in at least two more to control the cable routing up there,,,,, or some otehr method of control,, plastic raceway or somethin,,, once you start cabling up the new card you may wish you did it
22:29 katsmeow-afk *may*
22:30 tsmeow-afk is not good with prognosticat
22:31 Tom_itx i could do something there. not an awful lot of room
22:32 Tom_itx i cut about 18" off the ribbon going to the first board though
22:32 Tom_itx you can see that in previous pics
22:32 Tom_itx http://tom-itx.dyndns.org:81/~webpage/cnc/psu/control5.jpg
22:32 katsmeow-afk yeow, raceway is pricey as heck on ebay
22:33 katsmeow-afk ah, you had to push everything over to fit the new card in
22:37 katsmeow-afk rue : http://stores.ebay.com/Skywalkinging-Electronics/IC-socket-/_i.html?_nkw=14&submit=Search&_fsub=4369263015&_sid=1014831945 <<== but beware those are copper sockets, and copper gets green fur on it, and you cannot clean down in those sockets
22:38 katsmeow-afk looking better all the time, Tom
22:40 Tom_itx i'll change some of the wiring a bit
22:41 Tom_itx i didn't change any yet, just made room for the card and wired it in
22:41 Tom_itx some of the io will move over to it
22:41 tsmeow-afk
22:59 Tom_itx ok at least all the wiring still works...
22:59 Tom_itx now i can start changing stuff soon
23:27 katsmeow-afk i wonder why it is that no matter what, before i do anything, i need to do something else first? like, before measung wiht the dial calipers, i haveto find someting to get a slivr of something out of the teeth in the rack in it
23:36 Tom_itx i used to keep a wire in the caliper box just for that
23:37 Tom_itx got some digital ones now and never looked back
23:40 katsmeow-afk i have some digital too, every time i pick one up, batteries are dead
23:40 katsmeow-afk cept for a few yrs ago, a lightning hit close to the house, killed several calipers
23:44 Tom_itx yep, that's my only complaint is the battery life
23:44 Tom_itx but i don't use them nearly as much as i used to
23:45 katsmeow-afk me either, i have an olde gear unit ;-)
23:45 Tom_itx in fact, they were blinking when i went to use them this evening
23:45 Tom_itx i gave one of those away to a friend
23:45 Tom_itx wish i had it back now
23:45 Tom_itx i don't think he uses it
23:45 Tom_itx brown & sharp iirc
23:46 katsmeow-afk i wouldn't mind having another, altho one thing i do miss in the gear unit is the relative "reset to zero" anywhere on the slide
23:46 Tom_itx yeah i use that quite a bit
