Good morning!!!!

[Popgadget]

Good Morning.
It’s 39 and going to the middle 40’s with a decent breeze all day. Might dry up a little bit, but it needs to warm up to firm up the spongy ground.

Yesterday was according to plan. I got the crossovers all built,

Did some finish sanding, and helped son and daughter with their projects.

Today, after going out to breakfast with my wife, I plan to punch out the input plates, and assemble them. Also going to the restaurant to install new JBL 70v speakers for background music in drop ceiling tiles. After that, daughter is bringing the kitchen aid mixer that she inherited from her grandmother to be disassembled and greased. She will do the work using my tools and perhaps some guidance.
Last on the agenda is to meet the mechanic coming in from the other end of the state to take the failed engine off the airplane. He will work with the local shop, but he has the specific tools and knowledge to get it done. I’ve known him a long time, he has several Gravely tractors that he has restored, I’ve given him a few attachments over the years, as I had several duplicates.
I’m looking forward to a nice dinner with him.

Those some big caps. Do you wind the inductors?

Good morning, low temp 26 and going to a high of 41°F. Wind NNW 9 mph. Cloudy. We got about 1/2" of snow overnight. I'm not doing anything with it.

Not much on the books for today, so I will conserve energy.

Have a safe day all

Morning all, 40's going up to 50
Off to the stores and garden center with the wife and then take a few hours to work at cleaning out area for planting. Some of the plants just shipped so inside start, calling for a freeze tonight.

Alien - feel better - seems to be a weekly thing so we will need to chip in and get you bubble wrapped!

Mostly - hope the ride was great fun

PopG - one early job I had we used to wind our own inducters for switches that went in planes. To very tight specs. Still don't think they looked as good as the ones on that board. Really like the layout and the notch for the cored inductor.
How long before they figure out why your oil tank tried to become a soft pillow?

Stay safe and be well,

Saw an RV like that on the road today, told my wife we should get one like that.

I always thought that a class C would be nice to have..... until I saw the cost these days.... That and the added maintenance, decided that a nicely done upgraded trailer would sufice.

Last night we put an offer in on 15 acres of land in Rockbridge county va. Today we looked at the land, then withdrew the offer. Was surprised we had great cell coverage there, I was expecting no coverage.
The land was steeper than the pictures looked. The knoll we wanted to build on just didn’t have enough area on top. Garden area would have to be down along driveway.
Knoll is trees at top of hill.

View from left side of the knoll. Best view for house is here, but close to the line.

Still pretty steep here. Best building site is down in the open field, but no view from there.

Then driving back we drove by a lot in south PA above Hagerstown md. No signs on lots, so not sure they were still available.
Long day.

I am curious.... what was the cost on the lot that you decided against?

Nice looking!

Thank you sir!

66°F and .27 inches rain.

Anticipating a full day with TurboTax today broken up by frequent encounters with spreadsheets. An energy conservation day physically, but not mentally.

Pics posted sure show a variety of skills among the likes of many members here, cabinetry, landscaping, fencing, etc. A widely talented bunch

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day
