  • I spent too much of my weekend trying to track down what this connector type is so I could make some custom extensions.

    JST-PH 2.0 is what I landed on eventually.

  • New Mug Day! The Serpent by Alex Woody from Strong Water in Anaheim, CA.

  • I can already tell capturing non-sendable types in @Sendable closures is going to be the bane of my existence in this legacy code base for the foreseeable future.

  • Xcode 14.1 appears to live build all targets now, not just the active one. I think I like it? Certainly will help me catch unintended build errors later, but results in a lot of extra noise.

  • Did a little fabrication project to mount my TIG-rod holders. Learned whatever aluminum TIG-welding technique I have is completely gone, but at least got a little bit of practice in.

  • Got a new toy for the garage. Only after unboxing and putting the whole thing together did I realize the upper bearing guide was snapped. That is one replacement part for the bandsaw you can’t get from HF. I decided to try repairing it rather than dismantling the whole thing to return it. JB Weld didn’t hold, so got a little aluminum TIG welding practice in.

  • After a lot of measuring and head-scratching, I decided to just put the shell with the subframes installed on the jig. I’ll get everything centered and level, and weld the subframes to the jig, so they are located correctly relative to each other. It will also let me locate the tower-tops.
