Re: What have you achomlished today?
What I've accomplished today: worked from home while my new front door is put in. It's a bit more secure than the old one. In related news, someone was shot at the house across the street, for the second time in about six years. Oddly, it seems to coincide with me changing jobs.What are you doing about it?

It really is quite difficult to build an ugly wooden boat.

Re: What have you achomlished today?
I used SolidWorks for a long time, then changed jobs and switched to Inventor. Much the same, but things are in different places and it takes a while to get used to it. Six of one, half a dozen of the other, once you get used to it.

Re: What have you achomlished today?
A research system called a Scatterometer - basically a very sensitive radar system designed to look at layers in the ice. There are actually two systems there - a Ka and Ku-Band scatterometer and they're mounted to an azimuth-over-elevation positioner on a post that has a UPS and a transformer mounted to them. Each one can operate independently or together depending on the set-up. They're designed to work with both AC and DC input and have wireless nodes, GPS, and dual-axis inclinometers to monitor the position and location of the system. They have control interface panels on the front for various functions and can be controlled by ethernet from anywhere in the world, locally by wireless. The enclosures can be removed from the pedestal and mounted on a frame that goes on a sled to be towed over the pack ice. It's going to be part of a year-long Polar experiment that brings a whole set of instruments to look up, down and around at all aspects of the climate in a particular area, with the scientific know-how to interpret what is going on. The biggest challenge is making the thing work at -40°C and sip power."The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails."

Re: What have you achomlished today?
Went to airport to test fly the Helio- flaps still not correct, knocked over taxiway light on the way back to the hangar; got another dose of front fender (wing) repair on the Citroen; back home got the AquaSport loaded (I know, not wood but has some brightwork) and now having a noon coffee and gearing up for some bow repair on the Marco Polo before it rains. So far productive except for the taxiway light... Cheers/ JCComment
