Summer brings new friends

Image
Summer is here. I have the AC on occasionally, except for the zoom room, which the AC is on all the time I am in there. Since we had so much rain awhile back, the mosquitos are unbearable. I called for air support from a pest killer company. June brings new fawns in this area. We have two new ones in the back yard, learning about the world. There was a nice Pitts Special that showed up at the EAA 690 breakfast this past week. I picked up another traffic control device. I will add an appropriate relay and sell to someone with a man-cave or bar. Wisdomino is certainly keeping me busy. I am a professional networker now. A lot to juggle.

I have been building my tool collection lately. I have had this cool 4 inch (cute) Delta Rockwell 37-290 jointer around for awhile. I bought it at auction a number of years ago. Interestingly, there is a lot of information/following on the web. Mine is now ready for production in my shop. I decided to leave the paint on the tool-head as-is. Rewired, sharpened and trued up, it is a welcome addition to my shop to add precision. I was going to add a 1.5 HP motor and/or change the pulleys. Not necessary. The only technology add is with the wiring and the power-twist v-belt to reduce vibration.
