internet was out in the morining, it apears that mice use the power switch as a foot hold for getting to the ceiling

revived message from multimachine group (log in Multimachine/Research Development)

worked on lathe motor mounting plate holes were offset. still need to weld 4by4 pipe and motor quick attach plate on. possible difficulty, coupler for motor and 1 7/8 shaft.

helped adam with box blading new workshops site. boxblade quick attach plate started breaking apart and we had to torch bolts off since they were bent then weld a new plate with smaller hole so that the blade wont rip out of the quick attach holder.

spent a 3 hours box blading the site then the second bolt plate ripped out and we brought the tractor back.

my power cord for my computer should be at the post office as of this morning
