Good afternoon !

No big changes in weather, just a bit warmer.

At morning I had some issues with TBN, so instead of browsing internet I turned myself into work. Was rather productive

Assembled long waited monitor arm. Now I can adjust that huge thing more for my liking. I have those "progressive" glasses, and to see properly had to raise head quite a lot. I think because of that now I have neck pain.

Hope this new setup will work better for me



You were sharing your workstations, so here is mine (with TBN open ):

Really like that setup. Just one type C cable from m-book to monitor. Trough that goes everything - power, video, audio. Still have wired keyboard. It refuses to give up, 100 % functional, so I am not changing it.




Coming back to tractor things. Have agreed to bring my tractor to regular service. 250 h already. Forecast says, next week T will be positive (C), so dismantled snow blade and broom. My guy on his way to office picked trailer from Yanmar dealer . I loaded tractor, chained it and sent my precious tractor for some love. On the way, one last pic for sweet memories:

That green one is my service van. Renault Traffic. I guess, those french are not a thing in US either ?

Dealer sent me pic - tractor arrived well
They will take care on offloading

Nice to have dealer in the same city, not like my Tesla story
nonono, I am not crying about Tesla. ok, maybe a little bit


Have a nice evening !

62°F and .2 inches rain.

Good progress on the scag yesterday. Really happy how nice the fuel tanks came out. The replacement fittings showed up early. These have a shutoff valve. All installed Also got the rebuilt starter installed. Just a few more connections at the engine and reinstall the external pieces and should be ready to fire up

Hosting H&F this afternoon. Chicken curry on the menu.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Drew - what are Lamb Eggs?

Microsoft Teams now has the ability to "learn" your voice and isolate all noise in a call that is not your voice. So if someone where to talk to you while on a call, no one would hear them.
Not sure if this is cool or getting into the creepy mode of learning.

It's creepy.

Anything going into or around a "computer" is suspect for capture. There needs to be consent as to how that capture is being undertaken and more importantly where it is stored.

Helo, have you tried checking the fuses and circuit breakers? Especially if the blower wont blow.

Fan is blowing, heater wont heat. There are quite sophisticated self diagnosis sys in Tesla. It points to heater. And a lot of folks have had the same story

Helo, got love Corten Steel and the rusty look. It won me my first Lump Sum project. Competion used stainless but exploring Corten steels ability to withstand 900 F won the project

Yeah, that is quite a material. Mechanically very strong.
Here I will have Corten / Cortex purely for show off reasons. Kinda dumb. But why not

I forgot to take my sound reducing headphones on this trip, and probably why I have a buzz in my head now.
when I wear those noise cancelling headphones, not only prevents the buzz but makes the car, and primarily the rv,
much more comfortable on long trips. Around town I don't bother. It's the constant rotational road noise, the whine you hear
driving on concrete, that these phones totally dial out. I can listen to my car stereo at same time and hear the music.
I'm sure the highs are muffled but it's very listenable. The Volvo has a good B&O stereo in it and cranked up it is surprisingly
good, for a guy with bad hearing.
I also find them a must while mowing. Not just less noise, the irritating part of it simply eliminated.
pilots have been using this for a long time.

I've tried the 70 dollar ones from Amazon, and for mowing
the lawn they are wonderful. But there really is a difference wearing my Sony or I'm sure a Bose. And my Sony was only a mid level model.
What you want is the good sounds coming
through, not the bad sounds. Involves a number of built in microphones sampling the noise and then it does its electronic voodoo.
I think it's more than just a filter, think it involves some kind of white noise injected to mask the bad noise.
Most importantly, and I've tested this, I can hear sirens just fine. Sirens warble, they aren't steady state noise.
So somehow the electronics figures that out and doesn't suppress it that much. A lot better than hearing a siren though loud rock music
playing. Which I don't listen to...silence can be a real luxury.

I am Sennheiser brand loyalist. Momentum. Got new ones only because daughter confiscated my old ones. Really great headphones. Comfy, works great. 10/10

Good Morning
22° with a high in the upper forty’s and rain moving in.

Yesterday was pretty much a day in the shop. Spent a batch of time doing reports for the FAA and TSA. While I was at the computer, I noticed that the air compressor cycled a couple of times, and there was no demand for air. So I was off to find the leak(s).

I use a device that listens for the high frequency turbulence of a leak, and shifts the frequency down to where you can hear it. It works very well, I use it for refrigerant, air, nitrogen and oxygen.
At any rate the condensate drain and the swivel on the hose reel were the offenders.

First time I see such thing. Should get one.

At some factories we got a complaints - our machine is leaking air. My technician goes there, wait till launch break, empty, silent hall. Takes off mufflers. Immediately arrives safety inspector.
- Any person in production area has to wear mufflers all the time.
- Mine liebe frau ... We are not doing this for fun, we are chasing leak.
- No exemptions. Put back mufflers or leave ...

The Accutrak is a very good tool. It sounds like you have a perfect application for it if it’s available in your country.

I have Sennheiser headphones in the studio, also use their electronics for in ear monitors to play with band.

decided leaving my wife's email as is, offers no incentive to change it. So she is now on the free one, and I was able to cut my price in half with all old domain emails coming to me. I then set up an automatic forward, so those to her are automatically forwarded back to her from my account, all without me having to pay for a 2 person business license. That just cut cost of keeping my old domain name in half. Now to start weaning both of us off the old domain name, and go strictly free email. Right now i'm only signed up for a month of keeping the old domain, but it will probably take a little longer.
cl0udy overcast day out. lots of coughing today. seems that now the antibiotic is done, I'm getting more stuff in the chest. Nothing serious, but will have to pay attention.

I had a lamb egg sandwich that was awesome.

What are lamb eggs?
