10:44 PM rue_: ok, I have an idea for soemthing
10:44 PM rue_: part of my brain must have kicked in
10:45 PM Tom_L: do all that with dependants and it can be overwhelming
10:45 PM rue_: I'm building someone now
10:45 PM rue_: takes a lot of energy
10:46 PM Tom_L: 2 in college now
10:46 PM rue_: TELunus, want to come back to the coast and help work on technology for revolutionaizing the modern world?
10:46 PM Tom_L: takes more than energy
10:47 PM Tom_L: i do get to stop and say hi to my bud with the machine shop tomorrow though
10:47 PM Tom_L: i'll be out that way
10:47 PM rue_: helped you with the cnc?
10:47 PM Tom_L: a tiny bit yes
10:47 PM Tom_L: cut the ballscrew for me

10:48 PM Tom_L: not yet
10:48 PM Tom_L: i'm goin out to get some way oil from him
10:48 PM Tom_L: it only comes in 5gal pails locally
10:49 PM Tom_L: i don't need quite that much
10:49 PM katsmeow: cannot use other oils? STP oil treatment is really sticky
10:49 PM Tom_L: this is purpose made
10:50 PM Tom_L: i'm sure other oil would work
10:51 PM Tom_L: this is what everyone around here uses
10:51 PM katsmeow: do you comb your hair all the same way too ?
10:52 PM * Tom_L pretends not to hear the sarchasm
10:53 PM Tom_L: coolant seems not to affect it as much as other oils
10:53 PM katsmeow: i was hoping for a real answer, i dunno how far humans go to be part of a group like that, i am ot part of any group
10:53 PM Tom_L: we still practice individuality here
10:54 PM katsmeow: cept for ways oil?
10:55 PM Tom_L: it's an educated decision
10:55 PM Tom_L: https://www.mobil.com/en/industrial/lubricants/product-series/mobil-vactra-oil-numbered-series
10:55 PM * katsmeow reads
10:56 PM Tom_L: https://www.mobil.com/English-US/Industrial/pds/GLXXMobil-Vactra-Oil-Numbered-Series
10:57 PM katsmeow: i guess it's good i did not mention chainsaw bar oil, which is really sticky too
10:57 PM Tom_L: i considered that
10:57 PM Tom_L: i've already got a couple gallons of it
11:00 PM Tom_L: i'm not sure how suitable it is with coolant around it
11:00 PM * katsmeow doesn't know too
11:02 PM Tom_L: Mobil Vactra Oil Numbered Series is recommended for applications where oil contamination of the aqueous coolants shortens coolant batch life.
11:03 PM * katsmeow nods
11:03 PM Tom_L: i went to the trouble to build the damn thing, i may as well take care of it
11:04 PM katsmeow: yeas and no,, you have oil recovery grooves in the table and bearings on the ways, they shouldn;t be mixing anyhow on your machine,, or no?
11:05 PM Tom_L: it's likely they won't mix
11:05 PM katsmeow: holy cow at the guy inside the steam engine boiler
11:06 PM Tom_L: a guy is taking his bridgeport head apart because it's all gunked up from the wrong lubricant
11:07 PM katsmeow: i noticed the HF gearboxes use a grease that adheres strongly to the aluminum cases and avoids the gears like an alergy
11:07 PM Tom_L: they put grease in them?
11:08 PM katsmeow: just enough to say they did
11:08 PM katsmeow: i thinkit's grease
11:09 PM Tom_L: possibly valve grinding compound..
11:09 PM katsmeow: i don;t have a sloppy enough grease, i put grease in, and a dash of 90wt, make sure if i ever open one again, i see goop on the teeth
11:15 PM katsmeow: rue, this 20-something girl is retubing a actual steam engine
11:54 PM katsmeow: gnites
