good morning. 49 going to 72 partly cloudy

Serviced the ZT, changed the blades to a spare set that was already sharpened. Also changed the spindle canister with a new one I had in inventory somehow and left the dinged up one on the anvil for later. Greased it as well. Brought it up to full rpms and checked it out all good.
Now there are 12 blades waiting to be sharpened and balanced.

Ordered 15 quarts of Mobil One European Formula 0-40 to change oil on the van. Also need to install the stabilizer parts that came in

Wife enjoyed yesterday's drive into WV. It helps to distract from pains and forget the disabilities somewhat. I am glad to give her whatever comfort I can

D is going through the interview process with 3rd and 4th interviews in the same company. Finally got her separation letter but the severance package is broken up in payments and now subject to delays. Maybe they ran out of money

Morning all, 41 going to 74, chilly, sunny.
Did get out to split some wood, ran out of smaller rounds so need to move some more big ones over.

Safe travels all,

Be well,
6 deer greeted the dog and I this morning, this is the older Doe, watching over them all.

Much easier than walking the splits up to the rack

Filled it up, checked oil, started 2nd pull and still running smooth. Need to clean the rails though.

Good Morning
41° and sunny, high of 70 under continued sunshine.

Yesterday was spent on a combination of chores. Started off welding up some aluminum parts for a handicap ramp for neighbor to load wheel chairs onto hay wagons at their “agritainment farm”. They have a winery, Christmas trees and pumpkins.

There 8 of these, TIG welded using the aforementioned Primeweld welder.

Had success getting the engine running on the RC plane after sitting for 25 years or more.

Here it is behind the KubVan for scale.

The geothermal installation is almost complete, there is an issue with the modulating water valve that adjusts the flow of water though the heat exchanger. It takes well water into it and returns it to the pond, the valve adjusts the flow to maintain a programmed delta T. We usually set it at 11°.
The valve isn’t working. It uses 24vac for power and a 0-10v control signal to modulate it.
I guess I’ll start with verifying the wiring, jumper and DIP switch settings, then check voltages. My guess is it’s an installation error, not hardware failure.

No music tonight, we are loading gear into either the trailer or KubVan as we are playing both tomorrow and Sunday at a fall festival in Buckingham.

Gonna try and squeeze some RC time in this morning, then look at the heat pump, clean up the mess I made in the shop yesterday, and take a swing at whatever else gets pitched my way.

Good morning TBN!!
45 chilly degrees this morning. Should be low to mid 70 with a sunny afternoon.

Spent the day tinkering and puttering.
Took the leaf blower for a walk. Leaves coming down at a pretty good rate.
Changed the vacuum lines on the buggy and can continue with testing when my multimeter comes in today.
Sorted and organized the new electric bench I been putting together.
No agenda today yet.

Time for a second cup.
Everyone have a great and safe day!!
