Ordered yellow/gold screws for the wing of the jato body. Yellow accents and 3 blue screws holding the spoiler on wasn't cutting it. Now I realize I ordered button head and need countersunk. 🤬🤣

It's ok, all too soon you'll be able to hide those oops behind a 'senior moment'. :hehe:

Huh. Someone suggested I sand them and it actually worked? Lol, I swear there's something wrong with me.

One thing I noticed was the corners and cut edges of those look prime for delamination. When I get carbon fiber like that, I will use a fine emery board (nail file) and run around the part to put a small 45° chamfer around it. This helps prevent delamination. You can also get some thin CA glue and apply it around the perimeter to help prevent delamination. I typically apply a couple coats and gently sand smooth with 320 grit if I am worried about aesthetics.

Just make sure you don't sand in a direction that can peel the laminated fiber away from the core. So sand 'along' the edge. Not across it.

power went out for idk how long yesterday morning, maybe a few minutes, i was awake but still in bed half asleep. but anyway, it jacked up the router so iv had no internet at home sense yesterday morning. idk what the problem is, iv reset the router 3 times and nothing. just a blinking red light. so now apparently a tech has to come out to fix the issue. which I'm assuming means replacing the router. which won't happen until Wednesday morning.

That'll teach you to lie in bed! 🙄
Good luck! 🤞
 
well the BS busy work has begun. and now we're going to have an abundance of stock in 1 coil and no bobbins for the 10 other ways that bobbin gets wound. granted the now over 40 we'll have in stock are the most popular of the bunch. but having 30 in stock is more than fine and will last probably 4 months. so of course the boss, no doubt with his hair in fire, wound 30 more and we now have maybe 10 bobbins in stock. which means not only do i have to finish the 30 he just wound, but i also have to fire up the injection molder and make more bobbins.
because just winding 15 for stock and leaving some bobbins for other windings, which would have lasted us until probably late August to mid September is a freaking bridge to far.
:angry:
he also just wound one of the pain in the ass coils i have to encapsulate. and I'm betting there will be at least 1 more this week. :rolleyes: and here's the kicker. I'm pretty sure we have stock in those. and that voltage is probably the least common. if we have 3 we're good until probably November.
 
Driving north. Car pulls out of the neighborhood and stops in the southbound lane infront of a semi. The car honks at me the whips behind me on my hitch and puts half of his car in my mirror as I stopped for the red light. Light turns green and they are still on my hitch and weaving. Wish these people would go back home.
 
I have been on the phone, in emails, and online chats with 3 different company's customer support lately. This is how I feel - 🤬🤬🤬🤬

I'll tell you where the tariffs need to be applied. Severe taxation to any US based company that uses India based call centers. Every single person I have spoken to has to be on the top 10 dumbest people on the planet list.
