It's a motor without an output shaft- it takes 240 in, and the uses re motor winding s to make 3 phase 240 out. Still one of the oddest mechanical/electrical things I've worked on.

Electricity? Back on the farm?

I didn’t even consider using a phase converter. I probably should have figured it was single phase. I don’t know many people who have 3 phase at their homes.

Well, USPS has started delivering mail that was sent in November...

I guess they really are 20 kinds of fucked up.

Welp, that's faster than it was back in the day (during the winter, in Indian territory).

Hey, that's my mailman!

It came as a bit of a shock this morning when I realised I've owned my BRZ for 8 years. Crikey! How did that happen?

I'm guessing I can't really refer to it as a new car anymore.

I may finally be breaching the limits of how practical a twin is.

I went to U-haul to pick up some boxes and packing materials so I can get a headstart on packing this week and the biggest box (flattened) I could fit through the trunk opening was a medium, by folding it. I'll need to go back for wardrobe boxes and probably at least one or two large boxes. Might need to get crafty to fit those in. I know they'll fit inside with the back seats folded, but the question is how to get them through the opening.

Local budget building supply place had a bunch of butcher block counter top for 175 a slab. I paid over 300 a piece at the last house I used butcher block. Cut my counter top cost in half and will look a lot better then Formica.


This is how they looked at my old house.

Formica? Butcher block? I'm not sure if 1970 or 1980 is calling for its countertop back.
