Still need to get to Lowe’s to pick up a few bits to finish the mainspring winder. Not sure if I’ll make it or not.

Started the day feeling pretty ok. As it’s gone on not so much. At this point wanting to go to bed but got to go fix lunch.

For now am gonna try to get some sleep, so till the morrow… And the weather radio goes off yet again. And the rain starts back also…

Thinking it’s gonna be a LONG night…

Need to make a run to Lowe’s in the am to get some stuff to finish the mainspring winder among other projects.

Been an interesting night weather wise. No real problems but lots of rain and lightening. Hoping it settles down soon so we can sleep.

Food about ready, so will be back later…

Gonna see how it will run on a variac to slow it down more. Hope to drop it to half the speed it runs now but if not will still be usable.

Works really well, runs nice and slow, and will make a very nice drive unit for a clock pivot polishing lathe. Came with a clip on stand.

Got one small 1/4 inch Craftsman gear reduction electric drill. Just got doen with tearing it down, cleaning, lubing, & replacing the cord.

Mostly things that I can use, along with a few I might be able to part with. Still trying to decide if I want to get rid of any of them.

Really need to quit buying stuff! Went to a yard/barn sale today and spent WAY too much. Got mainly tools but they were REALLY cool stuff!
