Nice HB!

So, I've been designing my project with the assumption I could acquire a specific electric actuator. Now that we have been given the go ahead to proceed to fabrication, I have started getting price quotes and lead times for all off-the-shelf parts. Turns out, that company doesn't sell their actuators to individuals, only to manufacturers. And what sucks the most is that this was the ONLY size actuator that works for my application (size constraints, stroke length and force requirement).

In searching more, I found another one that would be even better, but I can't find any vendors in the USA. They are sold in the UK, so we'll see if they're willing to ship here. If not, I might have to use family/friend channels to purchase over there and then ship it to me here.

You caught me. I've actually been designing a 12 way adjustable office chair so that I can get to work drafting on this project...

So rather than unplug my mini fridge and let the ice thaw out like a learned, patient man; I used a chisel and a hammer to break the ice off both sides of the freezer compartment. That is, until I chiseled through an A/C line and got freon in my face. Now I have to browse the for sale ads and find that mini fridge that what's his face was selling for a sweet deal.

My wife DID tell me to just unplug the fridge BUT I just got home with a bunch of beer and I didn't want it to be warm.

Also, I drove around in rush hour traffic with an open five gallon bucket full of fish that I was trying to get rid of. That was less than fun, and a lot of the reason I bought so much beer.

You may need to take a day off to fix case of HUB. Maybe some recoil therapy.

I just shot my muzzle loader 13 times in one day. Does that count as recoil therapy? Because I'm still recovering from that.
