163 - Shop Upgrades



  • Cleaning the shop, everything has a layer of sawdust, but the dust collector should fix it.
  • Starting with a Harbor Freight DC. Look at the upgrades, options are a Cyclone chip separator, Thein baffle, filter upgrade, Rikon impeller upgrade. 
  • I'm going to make my own Cyclone, separating chips protects the impeller and keeps the filter clear. The HF filter isn't great, a Wynn filter is more efficient and cpatures more.
  • Preparing for the ceiling panels which means I need to install my ceiling mounted receptacles.  
  • Planning out all receptacles and am going to run them off a dedicated circuit. 
  • Nanowrimo is almost done and so am I.
  • Rants on scooters and entitled drivers.

162 - NaNoWriMo Thanksgiving



  • The batting cage has been taken down, it must be Thanksgiving.
  • Painting of the shop is done, the ceiling is next. I made a shelf too. The new shop will be organized!
  • Watching The Shield while I paint. Watched the last few seasons as they aired after catching up on DVDs. Later watched it all again when I bought the complete DVD set.
  • The Shield is one of my favorite shows with The Wire and The X-files. I'm not sure a new show can supplant the shows I first fell in love with like Lost, The sopranos, The West Wing. Those have been favorite for so long,  a show I saw last week can't supplant that.
  • Last week I watched Bodyguard S1 and Homecoming S1.
  • Listening to the podcast of Homecoming, I like the show better.
  • NaNoWriMo - scrapped my third screenplay and started a fourth . Outlining is going much better, I'll need more than the 10k words I have left to finish, but I may just finish it anyway.

    159 - NaNoWriMo Begins


    • Halloween has come and gone. I was Battlehawk from Fortnite. I'm already thinking about costumes for next year.
    • I want to start a new project now that the Halloween projects are done. I want to do the tactical shotgun from Fortnite and I want to rearrange my shop. Not sure which one is first. 
    • Nanowrimo is upon us.
    • Voted early, no one pushing candidates, no lines, no one but volunteers.Choosing candidates is a crap shoot, but I do like to see relevent experience.
    • Speaking of which, the Mets new GM.
    • Touching a monitor that isn't touch-screen should NEVER happen, nor portrait image and videos with a phone.
