21:08 rue_shop3 I been waiting 3 years, cmon already
21:08 orlock Started working on the controller again finally
21:08 rue_shop3 3 years!
21:08 rue_shop3 do you know how far 3 lightyears is?
21:08 orlock nah gotta be longer
21:09 orlock more like 5 maybe
21:09 orlock yeah, 5 is more like it
21:09 rue_shop3 2.8382191e+19 mm!
21:09 orlock because my daughter is 3
21:09 rue_shop3 just get me the damn images already!
21:09 rue_shop3 I'll write you silly controller code, geez
21:52 rue_shop3 yea, I turned it down and the problem seems to be less severe
21:52 rue_shop3 maybe 16A on 22 guage wire is too much :)
21:55 rue_shop3 yup, that seems to be it
22:07 rue_shop3 ok I finished building the new shelf for the shop
22:07 rue_shop3 installing it is a whole nother project
22:08 rue_shop3 hahaha I carefully sized it to fit around the plug and then put a back on it
22:08 rue_shop3 *sigh*
22:15 e_shop3 tried to sych me by daying that I was putting the cutout for the plug in the wrong end of the s
22:15 rue_shop3 didn't work
22:19 rue_shop3 ok this will be hard
22:19 rue_shop3 I have to relocate a bit of stuff in the shop, place the shelf and load it back
22:20 rue_shop3 its likley that the contents of the four square feet that needs to be cleared will fill the shop
22:29 rue_shop3 I found the claspie thingies!
22:39 rue_shop3 in heindsight, it would have been good to have made the shelf the extra inch taller so I could fit spray cans under it...
22:39 rue_shop3 damn
22:44 rue_shop3 wow, this is awesome
