Helmet cam or it didn't happen.The new bike exceeded my expectations and I got a 15 mile ride in. It was a very good day!
Had to be a great day to be on the trails!

Electric-MotorsI guess a future upgrade has now turned into a repair. The motor on the lathe took a crap this evening. Sounded like it had a rod knocking. Found the shaft was delaminating where the front bearing is pressed on. Looking at the guts, I'd say it's been on borrowed for a bit. Also explains the issue I had yesterday where the motor took several flips of power switch before it started up (just like a flat spot on a starter in a car).

We measured 50 in soybean stubble Sunday morning.Need the soil temperature to be above 50 degrees for the mushrooms to pop..... probably another week.
I'm still in my sleeping bag. Non-insulated cabins get cool on a 40 degree night.
The day holds promise !
At first, I thought this was a clever sock reference....Someone sleeved the shaft for the bearing. I have seen that before.
Hmm...maybe I can get some grass seed down?We measured 50 in soybean stubble Sunday morning.
Cornstalks are cooler and wetter.
Woods maybe even more so.
But getting close!
Going to use an extra motor I had from the mill. It's for the horizontal portion of the mill that I'll never use. It's 3-phase just like the vertical mill motor, so I can run power to it from my VFD. Have a pulley on order. This will give me variable speed control by using the knob on the VFD. Downside is I need to fabricate a new bracket to mount the motor on the lathe. Might need Rusty's help.I wonder if there's a local shop that could rebuild the motor.
I'm not a fan of the rear sight Location on that one. I had a G30 milled like that and didn't like the setup. Plus, that rear sight blocks a big area of the rmr windowThis one is interesting....https://www.indianagunowners.com/threads/cz-p10c.534515/#post-9524851
