06:28 PM roycroft: this is awesome
06:29 PM roycroft: one of my favorite records was stolen from me about 45 years ago
06:29 PM roycroft: and i've been looking for a replacement ever since
06:29 PM roycroft: it is long, long out of print
06:29 PM roycroft: i found one recently and ordered it, hoping it was in decent conditoin
06:29 PM roycroft: it just arrived, and it's brand-new, still shrink-wrapped
06:30 PM roycroft: i also just received a care package from jt
06:30 PM roycroft: it is too late for me to ship my return package today, but it will go out tomorrow
06:31 PM XXCoder: nice

06:32 PM roycroft: i should inspect the current one, but i've had it for a very long time
06:33 PM roycroft: i only play a few vinyl records/year, though, so it might be fine
08:58 PM Tom_L: JT-Cave, PR #34 ready
09:02 PM Tom_L: also, mesaflash 3.4.9 is available
09:04 PM Tom_L: err... 3.5
09:06 PM _unreal_: so the nurse just called, my father has been intubated, and is un-responsive. Had to call when I was 1.5 slices into my din. and didnt get to eat ANYTHING yesterday because of my fathers bullshit and refusing to go to the hospital.
09:11 PM memleak: andypugh, this is fun :)
09:12 PM memleak: It just sucks I didn't fork the entire LinuxCNC repo, are you able to cherry-pick the commits I sent OK into your andypugh/rtai_2.9 branch?
09:13 PM memleak: I thought something was funny when I saw SUBDIRS show up in the stderr file.
09:13 PM Tom_L: 3.5 added 7I75 card it appears
09:14 PM memleak: Tom_L, hey!
09:14 PM Tom_L: hi
09:15 PM Tom_L: why would a breakout card need mesaflash support?
09:16 PM memleak: Is that a riddle?
09:16 PM Tom_L: no he just updated mesaflash and i was looking at the changes
09:27 PM pcw--home: Mesaflash can list daughterboard pinouts instead of just connector pinouts
09:27 PM Tom_L: i see
09:33 PM pcw--home: (so you don't need to look at the daughterboard manual and mesaflash pinout to get terminal block pins)
09:36 PM Tom_L: gettin fancy i see
10:46 PM solarwind: Can anyone identify this mill? https://www.kijiji.ca/v-view-details.html?adId=1673685402
10:46 PM solarwind: The seller has no idea what it is and says the nameplate is worn
10:47 PM solarwind: I'm going to go and see if it holds tolerances. That horizontal spindle and ~2.5 ton mass would be useful
10:56 PM CaptHindsight: did you miss the sign that says FEXAC?
10:56 PM solarwind: https://www.kijiji.ca/v-view-details.html?adId=1671240205
10:57 PM solarwind: CaptHindsight LOL I thought those were just random letters for some reason
10:57 PM solarwind: That free Cincinnati looks like it's in damn good condition
10:57 PM CaptHindsight: FEXAC spanish mills
10:58 PM CaptHindsight: free , you haul?
10:58 PM solarwind: Yeah. I've moved bigger/heavier on my own
10:58 PM CaptHindsight: I had a Cincinnati , it was nicer than a bridgeport
10:58 PM solarwind: That thing shouldn't be a problem
10:58 PM solarwind: bridgeport is the bare minimum for a mill, it's only 1 ton
10:59 PM CaptHindsight: mop with soap on floor, drag to back of rental tiltbed
10:59 PM solarwind: I have machine skates
10:59 PM CaptHindsight: yeah a ladies training mill
11:01 PM solarwind: The kearney and trecker mills are nice too
11:01 PM CaptHindsight: https://i.imgur.com/ey5VtXu.jpg skates in the front, soap and water in the rear
11:01 PM CaptHindsight: yeah, if they are not worn out
11:02 PM solarwind: Yeah I have those same kind of skates, 8 of them
11:02 PM CaptHindsight: the only problem with them is lack of CNC and DRO
11:03 PM solarwind: You can always add that later
11:03 PM CaptHindsight: but it's awkward
11:03 PM CaptHindsight: look for VMC's
11:06 PM solarwind: Yeah I have one I have to finish fixing up
11:07 PM solarwind: It's in good condition and holds tolerances and > 3 ton
11:07 PM CaptHindsight: before you know it you're old and have a pile of unfinished projects
11:07 PM solarwind: I wouldn't want to die any other way
11:08 PM * roycroft is old and would like to have more finished than unfinished projects
