So a few years ago, a local guy posted a 45kw 3 phase genset with no engine on craigslist. I bought it. It had a hercules 6 cylinder military engine on it. Kohler. I happen to have a 4 cylinder hercules that has an SAE bellhousing. With conversion to single/split phase, the derate makes it...

So big detour on this weekend. Due to the power issues we've been seeing, i spent the weekend updating the house subpanel to add circuits. So we are preparing for a genset, which i will get to in the shop content, as well as adding some solar to knock down my ridiculous monthly bill - 500+...

huge storm. 8 verified tornados in michigan

So we just went thru 2+ days of no power. AGAIN. It has now become a priority this summer to get a standby running. In addition to AC on the house. As far as this weekend, i'd like to get the battery wiring done on the electric namco so i can move more stuff around. Going to need clear...

When are you just going to give up and give in to the fact that you should just start a forklift rescue business????

Roles and Responsibilities. They want our team to be release responsible rather than just R&D. And they're giving me no headcount. There's only so much i can do. My boss does not care about wfh at all. i can do what i want as long as i don't cause problems. He's great. I went from nuts...

I have been overwhelmed by life. Job is going ok, had some negative health news, and basically waiting for the weather to break so i could spend some more comfortable time outside. The company is changing our R&R and that will involve a lot of time away but i will try to minimize it. Not...

I heard it was a drought down there

It's raining in my shop. It's been raining outside for 2 days. Downpour. It's 65F today and will be down to high of 30 within a week. Mother nature is off her meds.

Doesn't it help on the more dry areas? SA is borderline dry right? I bought my old 86 F250 in Brownwood TX it was summer and pretty pleasant dry heat.

I tried once to get a job at SWRI, but it fell through. Probably good i didn't, as engine work has all but dried up. I would love the weather there though. I'm very over winter.

My ability to bring anything home will be extremely limited. Driving mom home. She comes down to DFW for a couple months every winter. As she likes to install X+1 m^3 of **** in X m^3 interior vehicle volume, i'll be lucky to bring a coat and not leave it hanging out the window.

Dfw. It's always dfw

I'll be in Texas Friday.. .

I'll keep my eyes open. M. Brane, as for 3d printing, i've got that thing running full tilt making tool holders. More on that when i'm further along.

I've got a filing cabinet but really don't like storing stuff like this that way. Unless there's a way to get more shelves

Good you got it in. It's snowing here now

I really need to find some decent ways to store all this stuff. I can't afford Listas sadly. But that seems common.

Working on finishing a wheel bearing on the daily audi, and then a service on it. This weekend. I forgot i picked this stuff up a couple weeks ago. I got it all sorted finally and took a couple photos. This was 3 of about 6 tubs. I didn't get a shot of the others. There's another...

What tooling does the Matsuura take?
