Hi Guys,

My wife had worn glasses from been a child and was very short sighted. After having cataract surgery on both eyes about six weeks apart, she discovered that she didn't need glasses at all, going from short sighted to normal vision ! Surprise surprise it upset her greatly, having worn glasses all her life she felt odd without them. What upset her the most was that the grandchildren didn't recognise her without glasses.

Going back to the opticians, they recommended that she had a pair of very slight correction lens glasses, which she did, she also had them coated with light sensitive stuff that causes the lens to darken in bright lights. Net result she is now quite happy and the children like her with the new glasses. Shockingly the new glasses only cost her/me £16.00p. I paid more than that for my readers !
 
My sister in law couldn’t see grass clearly till she was about 20 she had some condition that improved as she got older.
 
And now in BC you can buy it in stores and as gummies or brownies. That is the type of grass you were talking about right?
'Trinidad Chocolates,' that your latest project?

Cute little historical downtown for what its worth, used to be THE PLACE for a lot of NM and Texas folks to pilgrimage towards. . . OFC I NEVER went there except to admire the architecture and, have ice cream cones. . . 😎
 
That’s “special” ice cream? Just made with a little more grass then the cows used.
Its funny, I don't actually know where the dairy in CO came from, knew all about Creamland stuff though, those are some proper sagebrush cattle!

Grass, don't you know all that stuff blew away in the 30s there? XP

I generally loaded up on my hard candies just a little North of Pueblo, that steel mill is quite the sight to behold!

Nope she never indulged her sister however would pick the mushrooms at my brothers place in Colwood and go to the pizza place down the road where they would put them on a pizza for a slice.
 
Progress. Put in brass inserts into the arm so I could better fasten the bearing bracket. Drilled set screw holes in the pulleys for the big wide toothed belt. Used Rotary Table for that.
Then held one of the pulleys in an 8mm shaft on the 3-jaw and trimmed it down so it would fit.
Spacers for the motor 3D printed to an ideal length.
Mounted the next arm second just to see how it would fit.

Here it is controlled by my ELS.

Yahoo. The new LCD touch screen (15.6" 1080P) arrived today. This is a reasonable size for a LinuxCNC user interface that has touch screen capabilities. Much better than the 10" one where everything was too small and hard to read.

Now I can play around with the various user interfaces to see which one I like.
 
So I decided to get rid of the water separate on the outlet of the compressor since it was a major source of a leak and there was also never any water in it and it was really old. This photo is before I rebuilt it with new o-rings etc. But still it just was too old.

So I left the main air valve on and went upstairs and did some other stuff. Came back down to check something and the compressor was running. OK. Obviously not all the leaks have been found. But looking at the system air pressure on my display it was at 11 PSI? Say what? And it was hot and smelled of oil. I shut off the compressor and then I heard the leak. Big Leak. Really Big.

Normally this is set at 30PSI for filling trailer and mower tires and I hadn't switched off the ball valve.

Haven't found all the pieces yet.

With the ball valve off I switched on the compressor and waited for it to reach the shut off pressure as in full tank. Took a while. This is the highest I've ever seen the radiator inlet temperature or for that mater the outlet temperature which normally doesn't go above ambient.

Time for a trip to PA to get a new regulator for the tire air hose setup.

Stuff that's 50 years old just doesn't hold up anymore... so sad...
 
There we go since the DeVillbiss HLF-9501 isn't made anymore there's no easy way to repair it. Instead for $29.99 (Regular price 69.99) at PA I have filter and regulator. Not really going to use the oiler but it's nice to have it there in case I do want to run some air tools outside.
