Same as when I can ride. I build stuff. Was in the shop till 4 am, working on a bracket to hold a propane bottle on the generator. Still at it today.
I dont HAVE to mount the bottle, but if I dont, then if I wanna move the generator, I hafta unhook the bottle, move the generator, go get the bottle, hook it back up,, blaah de blaah de blaah blaah blaah,, SO, Im building a bracket that will mount across the end where the pull start is. It has a hinge in it, so I can pull the bottle off & swing the bracket away, so I can access the motor should maintenance be required,,Im using the 1" X 2" steel that held the control for a manual treadmill someone gave me,
Ive got the rollers & a pulley that mounts to one roller all ready for the day I need to build a sheet metal roller. Ive got rollers from another one, so, with 3 rollers I can run a piece of sheet metal in & make it roll into a tube. My shop really is my man cave. The propane heater brought it from 30 to 48 degrees & never even put it on high. I listened to the radio, shortwave, Listened to Coast to Coast, out of San Antonio. I am about an hour west of Shreveport La., so, that puts us about 400 miles away. The radio is another hobby. I listen to China, Cuba, heck, all over the world. Its not fancy, its a Hallicrafters S-38, IIRC, just 5 tubes. Probably a mid 60's ish vintage. Had all the old capacitors replaced with caps that dont leak & dry out like they did back then. The tuning string has been replaced & its been tuned by a pro. Ive spent more in shipping for service than it cost, If anyone is interested in shortwave listening, hit Ebay, get an old Hallicrafters, I recommend the round tuning dial style. The linear tuning design takes a lot more effort & time to sweep thru a band. If you have room for a long antenna, hang one out. Mine is about 80 feet. If not, there are designs online to build compact & efficient antennas. Antenna design is a cool art & science,,what with trimming caps & such to tune the antenna & drive off stations that are bleeding into the one ya wanna hear. I gotta get around to doin that,,
Another hobby of mine is being HERE & typing long winded responses to simple questions,,
