I finally had my grandfather's slide rule cuff links made into earrings.
He was an electrical engineer, I am a mechanical engineer. He graduated in 1950, learning engineering with a slide rule, before calculators.
Got a brand new toy today! It’s an #AirGradient #AirQuality monitor and it’s much smaller than I expected. Obviously much better than my outdoor monitor writing to a #raspberrypi mobile setup. I cannot wait to test it out.
@LabSpokane @emma @rooster no there is no gray in this. You either are or you’re not there is no middle ground. Just ask the ghost of Neville Chamberlain how well that worked out
Custom hinged electrical distribution panel under the dash. Stays nice and dry and is easy to troubleshoot.
I built a bunch of custom stuff for the boat because boating is weird and lots of things I’d expect don’t exist or are stupid expensive if they do.
This is a searchlight I made out of a Bogen tripod fluid pan head plus a Black Oak led light pod. This light turned out to be incredibly handy and made installing courtesy lighting unnecessary in my little boat. Most of my travel is before sunrise, so I use the light to see logs or other obstacles and to put out decoys when I get to my destination.
I’m hitting you because you keep putting carbon steel fasteners into aluminum. I’ll stop as soon as you do.
Took the rebuilt boat out for its shakedown cruise this morning. NO LEAKS!! No water came out the transom when I pulled it. The motor ran flawlessly. The outboard trim unit is fixed. My shallow water anchors worked just like I planned. The new steering ran perfectly. The rebuilt throttle and shifter now work. OMG I think I turned that hunk of crap into a viable duck boat!

Fuck everyone who made this possible and especially fuck the judge who set bail at $5000.
