			*Completed review of TCM for Audrey
			*Started organization on back hoe, included Daniel B for collaborative design efforts prior to his arrival
			*Internet went down for 5 hours, did what I could with smart phone and computer, was able to organize my home office!
			*Started on Prototype assessment while trying to make a lessons learned to incorporate into future builds.
			*Due to Internet issues hope to have BOM and cost completed tomorrow.

			==Goals for the Week==
			*Complete After Action items for LT6 Build
			*Get started on New Project Back Hoe and Iron Worker
			*Burn down past due items, get better organization in my home office.

			==Goal Completion==
			*Completed Life Track 6 with minimum man power.


			=Monday / Tuesday Comp Days=

			=Sunday Sept 22, 2013=
			*completed hydraulic mounting
			*had issues with the power beyond sleeves. They seemed yo be blocking a port or something that would make the pump bog down and fail, stalling the engine. Similar issue with life track 5. Correction was to take the power beyond sleeves out and trim them down a bit, this opens whatever it is blocking and enables the system to work. Not sure if its a issue with the sleeve, if there is something were missing. Correction did work however.
			*Life track 6 First test was completed needs the following adjustments/ Finishes:

			1. Stops need to be put into place for the tilt as it will go too far.

			2. Handles need to be welded to both the articulating pivot and ground hug pivot.

			3. Floor for both the cab and the hydraulic bay need to be welded in

			4. Wire mesh for the safety cage needs to be added

			5. Loader arms need to be tested to see if a weld will be required for the corners

			6. Needs hosing to be rerouted for dual powercubes / As well as more suitable that hosing for testing. "Neater"

			7. Power Cube needs to be held in place

			8. Channel or something that will protect the hyd tubing from the powercube needs to be added.

			9. Bobcat QA need to be attached and tested.

			Hours Worked: 6

			*Completed the bobcat quick attach
			*attached 2 wheel mounts and tires to the powercube. ready to be attached to the cab.
			*many issues arose with the wheel mounts. The space for the wheel mounts to mount to the frame was too small, forcing us to literally use blunt force to try and get them on.... not a one man job. Holes on the top of the wheel mounts do not align properly with the holes on the bottom making the use of 1" bolts impossible without drilling out the frame. Due to the extremely tight space where the wheel mounts attach to the frame, the fit issue was further exacerbated due to the welds themselves adding another 1/16 or so of an inch. Wheel mounts needed, hammers, pry bar, screwdrivers, bolts (for hammering on to align holes) and grinding of the wheel mount, weld and frame to finally get them to fit.
			*Wheel hubs cannot be taken off with just outer pin, need to be removed with the lug nuts like a normal car/truck/tractor. Utilized this incase the pin bends, the wheel wont be stuck. Can still unpin the rear pin to take the wheel and hub off.
			*Things still not put away and returned in the shop. Many things that were organized have been moved out of the order they were placed and mixed up and not put back. This makes it extremely hard to #1 keep the shop organized #2 take inventory #3 keep from losing items in the shop.

	*Researched adobe homes, found multiple instances of clay bricks set with mortar, 2000+ sqft build in a single day. End result is a permanent structure that is a "real home" utilized real stucco for the outside is some cases, others utilized the brick as it's weatherproof, unlike our current configuration. Great example of what we should be working towards.		*Researched adobe homes, found multiple instances of clay bricks set with mortar, 2000+ sqft build in a single day.
