Well, it might be wet today. Or not. National forecast says ‘clear’ but Houston has been saying ‘some clouds and looks like rain’ when I look at the sky. Either way, I’ve got stuff to do. It was very nice yesterday despite some clouds. Shirt sleeves comfortable all day and into the evening. It was a bit cool and overcast in the morning, but I’ll take that to get gorgeous afternoons.<\/p>\n
I slept in, then went and did pickups. Chatted with my consignment auctioneer but they still don’t want my stuff. I’m going to have to find another seller. Oh well. Then I headed to my shop to unload the lathe. It went without incident, and nothing even sketchy or pucker inducing. Just slow and steady. <\/p>\n
It’s on the concrete in the shop and now I can move it around. I got a chance to see the motor nameplate and it is 3 phase. That means running a VFD or a static phase converter. I’ve got both, and if I was keeping it, I could set it up with the VFD. I might put the static on it to test and sell it if it’s the right capacity. I had a guy want to buy it off the truck but his english wasn’t good enough. I gave him my number and told him to text. Hopefully he’ll get some help with the language…<\/p>\n
I then spend a couple of hours breaking down scrap. I got about half way through the remaining pile. I’ll be back over there today if it’s nice out. Another month’s rent on my storage unit is due on the 1st, and I REALLY want to be out of there. I need to make more room at the shop though. That’s job one today and Monday.<\/p>\n
There is always more to do.<\/p>\n
Always room for improvement.<\/p>\n
Not always room for more stacks. Do it anyway.<\/p>\n
