I've had a minor setback in my RE projects. The last entry was on a single rotor which I haven't yet ordered magnets for. The time will come.
On Wed October 3rd my dad had my son at his house to help with yardwork, & then dinner. On Thursday around 11A he called me. The call didn't make sense until much later.
He had a stroke. Not a minor "this is gonna suck" stroke, but an "oh crap this is how it ends" stroke.
After all was said & done, I'm glad he didn't suffer for years like my mother did. He was in surgery under sedation around 12:30P. On Friday morning they started backing off the sedation. He never came back from it. At 11:45P Friday night he crashed.
I've had a lot to deal with, and things are finally starting to calm down a bit. Paperwork sucks. Losing the only person you could ever count on sucks. Trying to find some way to accept the situation sucks.
I will be back onto the projects soon. I've been working on them, just not documenting them. I've had tons of machine time at work, and there are several projects in the works. There are a couple motor conversions going, as well as the single disc which may prove to be better than expected.
After shedding tears reading the posts of Zubbly... I realized that there are many here who are much more than black text on a white screen. I thank all of you for doing what you do, and being who you are. "Everything in life amounts to a sum of some equation."
Once I get things dealt with, and get back to living my life, I will be back to the projects. |
