This week the shop flooded. With all of the weather we have been having, a drain outside clogged, and a bunch of water came in through the garage door. This basically killed all productivity for wednesday, but the week wasn’t too bad. This week I did the first test of the piston action inside the tube, which was fairly sucessful, with some minor hiccups. This week was all about getting the piston to be tested, which meant attaching the nut, and nutplate.

This week I fully focused on the float, and particulary the anti rotation rods. I have been trying to figue out what material to use for them fou a couple weeks now, but this is the first week where I have made it a goal, and not an overarching requirement. This is much easier said than done. Last week we diecided that it wasn’t worth the time and effort to use piping to hide the wires, which is a bit sad, but also makes my life so much easier.

This was the first full week in school that we had, and we definitely felt it. The humidity has been down significantly the past couple of days which was quite nice. This week I was taken off of the fish feeder repairs to work on the Float with Scott Campell which I will probably be doing for the next school year, and the fish feeder was thus handed off to Sacha Silva.
