With the basic chassis/mount done, I focused on the frame & wheels. Our old gas lawn mower donated the wheels / mounts and a nice 3 position folding handle :) If you look carefully you can see the proposed front wheel, white rim w/ knobby tire. We will see if it works as I imagine it will.

After replacing the original 240V motor in my blower with a 120V one, and testing the concept (strapping it to a board and aiming it at some leaves in the yard), the first task was making the shape more manageable. I made a mount / chassis that matched the curve of the blower for it to mount into, a few small screws are all that is needed to lock it into place.

My current project: making one of these out of a furnace blower

The saga of my leg injury continues, however, I got to do tractor stuff recently

Have been relatively inactive on social media, being laid up again with this heel has me pretty discouraged. Not much physically I can change about the situation, but I can do something about my attitude toward it. Maybe today is the day I improve my prospective.

been using the format " tar -rvW video-tarball.tar &> /tmp/backup-results.txt" to take tarballs of my video projects and move them to tape. Problem is the verifying process, it tries to not only verify the tarball I am pushing to tape right now, but the entire rest of the tape, which it of course balks about since the point is to transfer to tape, not backup on tape. Thought I could use the -A to concatenate multiple archives, doesn't work that way tho. Now I see how to do it using MT to move around, but realized 2 things:
1) its WAY to easy for me to overwrite stuff on the tape this way.
2) should have coughed up the extra $$ to get LTO-5 and have LTFS.

Pins and bearing for the exercise bike came in, and earlier in the week I did some improving on the shop air system, but unfortunately I have aggravated my heel, and looks like I'll be on the DL list for a while again. Starting out 2021 with more setbacks, not cool.

Right on!! Unfortunately this year I'm going to have to finally do some major cleanout, I have around 10 pcs, and about as many laptops in my storage, desktops range from p4- to athalon 64 (single core) I already culled P1 - P3 desktops last year, but I'm beyond out of space to its time to scrap some more stuff :/ It's amazing how little resources you need to run debian + windowmaker :)

we have 5 toilets, of which 2 have filler issues, and 2 others have flusher leaks. Another today item is figuring out what parts I need and ordering them. The good thing about bulk work is I only have to turn the water off once LOL!

sourcing crank pins and bearings for my 40 yr old air resistance exercise bike is one of the challenges on my docket today.
