h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hi there I'm awake and bored(I know poor baby) feeling better?

I just got out of the tub. I'm trying to read Steven Pinker's book. It's very interesting but still heavy going.

I fixed my lathe today. It took about an hour for another problem to come up.

Ummm tub sounds good, hot milk is not working. What was broken with the lathe?Will you bring the Pinker book and the Dawkin's Selfus(sp) Gene + Ansester(sp)Tale Pleeese Sorry about spelling don't want to find the dictionary or glasses BTW I type real slow.

After years of throwing belts and trying every zebra to fix it, I eyeballed the pulleys to find that they were missaligned. Duh! The thing is, they didn't go out of whack, It was built that way.

I made some shims to move the motor pulley since I couldn't move the motor. It almost worked. Now I have to find a way to realign the idler pulley axis. It's possible that the original motor pulley position was deliberately chosen to compensate for problems there. Either that or they just wanted to sell more belts

I will try to remember to bring the books when I come up, likely near the end of the week.

Eyes are glazing over talk to you later.

Curiouser and curiuoser, I know there should be a pun in there but....Is it working sort of now?

Night Night tub is full getting sleepy too,TTYL
