Busy day today. FedEx came with the AP boards for Phobos. Good new, bad news. The Magjack fits perfectly. The mbed spacing missed by 0.100 inches. I think I can make this up by utilizing wirewrap sockets with long leads and bending the leads at an angle to fit. Went to the greenhouse and struggled putting the modine back together. It's hard work bent over like that and making sheet metal pieces meet correctly so they can be screwed down. I'm almost done with this project. Need to put the louvers back on and screw the end panel back down and the job should be complete. Back at home i worked on getting the BioFilter ready. When Libbie came home we switched the BioBalls to the new filter and hooked up the new pump. The filter output looks marginal, water is covering the openings of both drains, something I did not expect. I inhibited the flow a little with the diverter control but I think I need a third drain, this one should be lower than the original two. We took a trip to whole Foods for shrimp and Bran crackers, went to the Post Office for Rebel's violets coming from Sharon Blose then to Krogers for gas, milk and cocktail sauce. I'm really tired but need to work on one of the Phobos cards. Dinner was shrimp, Basti rice and broccoli with shiraz. |
