Fridays on the Fly

Friday, December 28, 2018

This episode is going to be more like what I want from future episodes, just exploring a topic.
With project updates as progress occurs - a garage door update in the shop.
Reading, I try to read at least some every day.
I love reading, the use of imagination. While I watch a lot of movies and don't read many books, that's because movies are shorter. It's also easier to multi-task during a movie.
Reading in school.
My veracity for reading started in second grade.
The Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge.
I've read a lot of Vonnegut, working through his books now.
Cormac McCarthy is my favorite author.
Phillip K. Dick
Orson Scott Card
Books I want to read.

Where to put my 240 volt receptacle.
If you're doing electrical work, hire an electrician. If you want to risk your safety, this is how I wired my junction box and receptacles.
Red Dead Redemption 2 - closing in on the end.
Shop ceiling panels

Finalizing details. Will be splitting a 240v circuit to 120.
I have a subpanel for baseboard heaters. Baseboard heaters no longer exist. Re purposing the breaker to get (2) 120v breakers and I just might add a 240v outlet to the shop for the future.
Dust collector needs a dedicated circuit
Tracking down the breaker box diagram

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.

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.

Shop project update - painting CMU
Prepping for paint has only reinforced the need for dust collection
NaNoWriMo Update- Switching up stories to write a romance screenplay. Why not, right?
A followup on the Kavanaugh claims from last week.
