    Two more milestones, and a major "whoopsie"...

    Early this week I completed the final changes to the wiring output on the generator, and now am complete with respect to generating both 440 and 240 3 phase power. Also fired up the horizontal resaw for the first time, and spent a number hours dialing it in. I kid you not - the cuts were so...

    Major gloat

    4 weeks ago my son graduated from ECU. He was the last one to move out of his frat house. They had bought a Bolens BL150 string trimmer and I believe it's a Toro leaf blower. No one wanted them when they moved out and knowing they were going to disappear shortly after everyone was gone (not...
