[Today’s run: 1 mile, with the dog]<\/p>\n
We nearly\u00a0 finished up the bathroom tile job today.\u00a0 I have one piece of trim work to reinstall.\u00a0 I did get the paint touched up on the other woodwork and we got the stool put back in.\u00a0 It looks good.<\/p>\n
I also made a bit of progress on a couple of work items.<\/p>\n
And I got a new CQ magazine in the mail.<\/p>\n
My GPS-DO is acting kind of funny.\u00a0 I’ve been messing with it for the last few weeks.\u00a0 I got the GPS antenna connection sorted out once my crimper tool and BNC fittings arrived.\u00a0 It runs ok, but it seems to drift a long time in one direction.\u00a0 I keep having the overpowering urge to twiddle the little screwdriver frequency cap on the oscillator.\u00a0 So, I don’t really know if it will go to the voltage rail or turn around and come back toward the center.\u00a0 I guess what I need to do is ignore it for awhile and see what happens.<\/p>\n
And I’ve done a little bit of playing around with wire-on-sewing-bobbins, with the idea of maybe making my own 100 kHz IF transformers.\u00a0 But it may be hard to do without a frequency domain display like a spectrum analyzer or VNA.\u00a0 At least, it sure would be easier with one!<\/p>\n
Oh, I also started touching up some scratches on the “new” car.\u00a0 It came pre-scratched in a couple of spots.\u00a0 I have the touch-up paint and the clear coat.\u00a0 I’m following the instructions in a little boxed kit I found at the auto parts store.\u00a0 At least this time I started on an out-of-the-way spot.\u00a0 So if I mess up it won’t be the first thing I see every time I get in the car.\u00a0 (I too often start new procedures on the most critical visual spot.\u00a0 Maybe this time I am learning?)<\/p>\n
