What's everybody doing?

Blaster is back in action and better than I ever dreamed it could be.  I updated the blaster post if anyone wants more details.   

Back to working on Carson's 121 today.  Back to working on what I like the most.  His topic has 2 new posts in it as well.  

Didn't get much done in the shop yesterday, normal for some Mondays...  Had to do some site updates this morning.  Now it's back off to working on Carson's 121.  

What I'm doing is staying in the shop and working.  It was 103 ambient here in the shade, and hardly no wind, not including the Apparent temperature, also known as "feels like"...  I'd hate to see what it was.  

It's supposed to be like this the rest of the week except a little hotter till Sat so I'm gonna stay in the shop working and keep cool.  

 

105 in the shade today with NO wind, it is brutal out there to say the least...  

I spent a few minutes putting a wireless switch on the lights for the blaster so the lights can stay on without the vac running.  It's the same switch style that I put up front when doing the double doors.  It was just a matter of splitting the light circuit off, adding the wireless controller, and sticking the magnetic switch on the blaster.  There was plenty of room for the controller in the electrical box that holds the blaster main switch so it was real easy.  I didn't worry about it before because while getting things out and blowing them off it gave the blaster time to catch up with pulling media.  Since that's not the case any more with the new pipe modifications it made sense to save a little wear and tear on the vac, a little on the electric bill, and a little on the noise in the shop so I can better hear my tunes.   

I also ordered in some stainless kitchen sink drain strainers to keep small parts in the blaster.  With the new pipe setup it will suck up some pretty decent size parts let alone the very small or light ones.  

 

one word....NICE

Thanks Nappy.  These wireless switches come in real handy and save a lot of time and work.
