Back
[00:00:18] <zhanx> Yes but wife got her hours cut
[00:00:25] <^kat^> uch
[00:00:35] <zhanx> My disability is primarily the income
[00:00:36] <^kat^> good thing you got wood heat in
[00:01:07] <rue_house> your in USD, you can but things cheap
[00:01:08] <zhanx> Not thst my back likes it hence the patches
[00:01:11] <rue_house> buy
[00:01:52] <zhanx> Not really rue
[00:02:23] <rue_house> yea, if you buy things from any other country, its cheap
[00:02:56] <rue_house> but because the usd went up I cant buy anything for less than 14% of what it used to be
[00:04:40] <^kat^> wheels move logs easily, use a skid tray to push them off of into the heater
[00:05:31] <zhanx> Lever for my chainsaw also
[00:06:39] <^kat^> hmm
[00:06:57] <^kat^> i assumed they were cut to length already
[00:10:05] <zhanx> Least I got pain meds for my back now
[00:11:28] <^kat^> but no need to make it worse just because you don't feel the pain one nite
[00:12:08] <^kat^> everything i can think of that moves logs and cuts them is going to take money for the actuators that can handle such weight (logs)
[00:13:51] <zhanx> True
[00:13:53] <^kat^> simple: winch to lift log and set into position, hinge to hold chainsaw and lower it based on rpm, that sorta thing
[00:14:08] <^kat^> log clamp so it cannot move
[00:14:15] <zhanx> Ok brb kid again

[01:29:49] <rue_house> goodnight
[01:30:20] <^kat^> gnite rue
[21:07:30] * katsmeow suggests a PA88 opamp to rue
[21:08:08] <katsmeow> it's in a TO-3 can
[21:08:49] <katsmeow> operates from +225/-225 power rails
[21:09:01] <katsmeow> but, it's linear
[22:34:44] <Jymmm> Howdy
[22:35:53] <Jymmm> rue_house: I was curious if you ever played/looked at geothermal?
[22:39:49] <katsmeow> for robots?
[22:40:29] <Jymmm> katsmeow: was that to me?
[22:40:42] <katsmeow> correct
[22:41:29] <Jymmm> katsmeow: Not for robots (sadly), but for heating purposes
[22:41:37] <katsmeow> i know rue has determined that water coming from the ground at his location is quite cold year-round, so heating with it is unlikely
[22:42:18] <katsmeow> cooling with it is prolly possible, if there was enouh of it, and adequate heat exchangers
[22:42:43] <Jymmm> I guess that would be "open" geothermal, I was looking at closed-loop vertical getothemal
[22:43:08] <katsmeow> loking at radar, he may be snowed in at work still , unable to get home
[22:43:15] <Jymmm> This specifically

[22:43:22] <Jymmm> ouch
[22:44:31] <katsmeow> 27F - 37F , i dunno, prolly not sticking
[23:32:32] <katsmeow> i wonder if rue saw the email on ferrofluid clock dislays
