Busy day so far. Mowed an acre of lawn, gathered up 300 feet of hose I'd left in road pasture, cleaned barn, cleaned up after duck processing (scrub hatchet, scalding tank, scalding tank rotary dunker, and plucked). Lunch break now, then making some steel brackets for dad.

2/ Never did get to dad's steel brackets. Used C clamps to create lifting points on 5'x5' CNC machine, lifted it off base w chain hoists, spun base 90° for reasons, lowered it, bolted it back down, made doors for base cabinets, tidied milling machine / metal working area.pic.twitter.com/RoXUrQa6ik

3/ Reason for spinning the base 90° was that motors and cable races hung down beneath CNC machine on 2 sides, meaning that doors there would be blocked. 90° rotation puts cable tray etc on dead sides of base, not door sides.

Fingers crossed that dad, retired, doesn't raise an eyebrow at me slacking this weekend and not doing the things I SHOULD be doing.
