All right, well hold on a gosh darn moment there Brooks. I did not hear some information I've been waiting for and of course congratulations to the Dodgers Can't wait to hear what Jeff's got to say. He's up next we got Arthur coming up after Jeff, but Brooks real quick So I know you got the milling machine. I know he got it up on the stand. He looks into position I believe you got a plug in and I believe you have now turned it on make sure it's working So I think what is maybe on Brooks's short list for things to mill Around the place there, maybe something for the trailer perhaps back to you. Oh Good question there Jack, you know so the Getting the trailer ready and winterized was going to be a project for tomorrow, but we ended up doing it today because Megan is Having to go do some other stuff tomorrow So I did not get to play with the mill today like I had planned So current status there is I have turned it on and it does work. I got the milling vice in which is good And I need to go through and give the thing a whole mill a good wipe down It's still got a bunch of the oil on it from when it was in its shipping container, so once I get the table all cleaned off and The handles for the y-axis then I can get those attached I get them I can get the vice Put on then I have to go through the motor break-in process which is run at 10 minutes forward run at 10 minutes backwards and low speed and then Five minutes forward and five minutes backward and high speed and it'll be ready to do some cutting So to answer your question though, but a couple things that I have on my my list one is I have a tool holder actually for my lathe that is too tall and so I plan on putting that on on the mill and taking probably 100 thou or 200 thou off of that because that should be a pretty easy thing to do just basically make a block Thinner and then it should work just fine to hold my boring bars So that's one project that will probably be one of the first ones that I do For the trailer I do have a new Gosh, what do you call it like a new wheel the wheel that folds down for the front of the trailer? I've got a new one of those that's got two wheels and they're bigger and I'm gonna have to get it mounted and I'm not sure that the bolt hole pattern to line up Exactly, so this would be a great application of I'm working on a project and I might need to drill some holes in some very Specific locations so the digital readout on the mill should really come in handy for that But I don't know exactly what I need to do yet. Anyway, there you go. Can I and BBC back to that?
