61F and partly cloudy @ 22:00 ... warmer than I thought it would be at this hour.
Last night was just beautiful - very clear with a large moon and lots of stars - but quite a bit of fog near the ground. Would have made for some nice pics with the right camera.
I just woke up and am enjoying my first cup.
I worked until around 14:00 today before I couldn't go any longer and needed a nap.
Starting to get the wiring for the switches that control the shop lighting sorted out ... there is a section of ceiling drywall about 18" wide x 10' long near the man door that was never put up because the wiring needed handled. Be nice to get that up ... probably make a difference in heating/cooling the shop.
I need to run some 2 x 2 on the end joist so that I have something to screw the ceiling drywall into and then add a couple of 4" square boxes for the connections from the power feed, the switches, and the lights themselves. Mounted a piece of 3/4" plywood just below the switches and the mounted the fencer and an outlet for it on that.
Picked up a small 13w dusk to dawn CFL that I need to mount and wire up on the outside wall ... trying to see my keys and the lock on the door in the dark is getting old ... to say nothing of the hazard of tripping and falling over something. The old (non-working) mercury vapor security light needs removed ... I'll replace it with a 500w floodlight controlled by a switch.
I snagged this out of the studio the other day and planned to install it last night on the muffin fan I mounted on the bandsaw to avoid any painful experiences:
Clearly I wasn't quick enough ... because I managed to stick my right hand into the fan last night while it was running while trying to reposition the cutting head for an angle cut ...
The fan blades contacted the end/tip of my middle finger ... didn't draw any blood but it was incredibly painful ... to the point that it had me screaming expletives and doing the whoodle dance around the shop for several minutes. Left a bit of a blood blister underneath the finger nail.
