Don't know. Have not been able to find out anything.
What a mess.
Worked on making a single adjustable leg to support a narrow outfeed table for my router table so I can route longer strips by myself. The "table" for now is just going to be a single pine board maybe 4" to 6" wide. For now all I can think of using it for is narrow stuff like trims or reducer moldings. The leg can be transferred to something wider if need be.
It was fun using the router table to actually make something.

Got my hand masker out and started lining walls with paper. Primed wall behind washer. Got final coat on some trim and door jambs. And I tested the eco-etch on floor. Looks like it works. No odor! If I can etch floor in next day or two, I’ll let floor dry till next weekend. Still lots to do

Too much like work for me.
Fans will be your best friend drying the concrete. No hurricane speed, just air movement.
I noticed yesterday there are about 25 fishing vessels offshore about 20 miles out.
Checked em all out and most are 40 to 50 years old. The smallest four are about 26 meters long. Ten are are 60 to 100 meters long. Four are factory ships and most list Seattle Washington as home port.
The 'smaller' boats (26 to 100 meters) supply fish to the factory ships. I think the factory ships will be out there for a month or more. Fish come off the ships packaged and ready for sale.
What a nasty, smelly job that would be.

Seems having a doctor on board would make things much improved on that ship.
I think they have a 'hospital' of sorts with a stick, a knife, some Band-Aids and a jug of Jack Daniels. 
Highup, the new torch looks cool. Fire is one of the things I don't mess with. LOL.
Tom, walls are looking good!
I've been trying to help my friend find a good stove to replace his Samsung one that went all crazy. He bought it used & thought only problem was LCD display. He replaced that & it started doing weird stuff-- turning the oven on whenever burners turned on, turning oven AND burners on without any controls being touched. Burned one of the houseguests bc the light to indicate burners were on didn't turn on. It wouldn't shut off so they had to unplug it. He has a very limited budget but I don't want him to get screwed on another used one.
Also found a door on e-bay for his kitchen-- it's a Z-panel/frame barn door with the hardware included. New in box & he has a thing with e-bay where if it turns out to be defective or have a problem, he gets all his $ back. It comes unassembled. So, I'd help put it together & then I'd stain it & poly it for him.
I'd wanted to go to Samsclub today to get more water & groceries but Mom was asleep when I wanted to go & I ended up taking a nap. Woke up with not enough time to get up there before Sams closes. So, plan is to go with my friend tomorrow & have him look at appliances in Lowes & HD to see if there's anything he likes. He'd been wanting something from some junk store in Ball, but I communicated with the people & they were not forthcoming & got a bad vibe from them. He's listening to me this time.
Still need to find him a vanity for the bathroom. He wants a 48" one with single sink, drawers on the side, and doors in the center. But they are extremely expensive.
Not sure if it will load, but I made a collage of his kitchen stuff-- some actual photos of what he currently has along with some ideas. I used MS Paint to copy & paste his new fridge over a pic that had his old fridge in the layout- looks pretty damn sloppy. LOL.
The idea stuff is for a magnetic paper towel holder/spice rack to stick to the fridge, a magnetic shelf to stick to the top of the stove, two stainless steel "splash guard" panels to put on the walls around the stove, a fold-down table, folding chairs, the door/drawer hardware, and a barn door. I miss having Polyvore for my collages. MS Paint isn't as easy to work with.

No matter what brand stove you look at there are only 3 manufacturers that make stoves. We found that out when looking for one. I fixed ours just by unplugging and plugging it back in. It reset the confuser in it. But it isn't what is should be on preheat. It says it is heated to temp but not so wifey just waits a little longer.
Zan, I'd do a lot of looking on internet reviews and read the appliance horror stories before you find something on "sale" (because it's crap), thinking it was a good deal.
Got the 'mini' off feed table finished today. Just need to add a quick release method to hold this against the router table.
The bottom of the leg is adjustable and it also folds flat against the mini off feed table because it's hinged.... so they are one unit. I did this because it has to be easily attached to the main table, but only when it's needed.
The darker colored wood is fir. It makes up the adjustable part, which was fit into the larger part of the leg via a 3/8" slot I cut into the leg with the router. Sort of a track for the adjustable part to slide in. The two knobs by themselves would hold plenty fine without this shallow rabbit into the upper leg........ but hey, I need to learn how to use a router table. No better time than now.
I wanted this contraption to be portable. It works like a dream.

One of the electric cook stoves is under recall because of burners coming on by themselves. I can't remember which one.
Can't believe there isn't a failsafe engineered into a stove. Scary.
They are run by computers now.

Etched the floor today. 400 square feet. Wearing bunny suit and rubber boots. Took 5 hours. Mostly pushing a broom and respraying to keep the surface wet. Seemed to work. Claim it’s safe on skin doesn’t match with claims of ph<1. Huh? Wore boots and gloves to be safe. Shop vac was full of water and concrete dust. Going to do other stuff till weekend when I paint floor.
I’m sore. Bet my blood sugar will be low. But I have cookies!

Doesn't make driverless cars any more appealing.
The failsafe would be an additional wire to the switch that detects a finger. No finger, no heat. Got to be a way.
