But my arms look like a lost a round with a wildcat, between the easy bruisability of being a diabetic on rat poison, I am scarred, scabbed and bruised up pretty good. Got a new drive belt. 1/16 thicker that the one an idiot put on it 3 or 4 years back, should stay on the pulleys a bit better. The idiot?, that was me... :)
And how are you doing? I'm in the middle of building lcnc on the pi thats running the sheldon lathe, using a ssd plugged into a usb port for a work drive, but it goes read only occasionally, so I have to reboot. or unmount it and run e2fsck on it. Right now its busy installing a line of dependency's that dpkg-buildpackage spat out, about 1/4 of the missing deps to actually build it. Warsh, rinse and repeat till it works. I did the same thing on the jessie u-sd card, ran great showing LinuxCNC-2.9.0-pre0 in the title bar. But this time its probably going to fail for lack of a running rt kernel. I have a newer rt kernel on hand though but haven't configured it for armhf yet. That will be next. if that installs and works, then repeat this so the kernel and lcnc versions fit each other. And Wash, rinse and repeat after a git update when buster comes out. Keeps me outta the bars don'cha know. > That's good ! :-) > > Dave > Waking up mornings is good. Now I'm waiting on the FCC so I can go tune our local daytimers tower, its way out of whack and bounceing 200 watts of the kilowatt its being fed. Transmitter is NOT happy either. I bought a Vector Network Analyzer that can draw a smith chart on a computer screen. I can use that to make up for the sheckles lost when Dee has passed. But the FCC has a one track mind so this needs to be done one step at a time. And they move slow. But, all the other old engineers that used to do this, have all turned 90 and/or died. I guess that makes me a member of a dying breed. I rather like watching the frogs jaws drop when I walk in the door and put their station back on the air, sounding better than ever. All the while the frogs are saying it won't work. To me, thats a sign they never paid any attention to the physics when they were in school all those years ago, but I'm doing it on an 8th grade education that ended in '49. Gotta move my ears back a bit to make room for the grin. :) Take care now Dave. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
