Between



I had aimed to get some progress on the home underway at the weekend, but the mountains of materials about the place are still calling out for fetching and carrying as well as decisions as to their destiny. Shifting rubbish and chopping up some twisted steel into usable bits. Then at the end of the day working on a modification for the solar mount. The electronics seem to work fine, but around the middle of the day the play in the gear mechanism allows the thing to flip back and forth as it tries to settle on the sun's position. A slower mechanism seems to be the order of the day. I will let it stew for a while while other things are going on, but a couple of bits among the machinery pile look promising. Meanwhile it rains.
