Had an uneventful weekend for once.
Played no poker, and didn't have tons of homework to do. Not none, mind you, but not so much that it was all-encompassing. Friday nite I did mostly nothing, tried to build my 2nd mythbox for the millionth time, still without a real hard drive, so that's a fairly wasteful exercise.
Saturday with no poker to play, Jeff came over and we thought we had finished the poker table hoist.
I'm not sure why Jeff ended up doing all the hard work. But we got it all up and I got it wired up such that the 1 way pulling winch I bought would go both ways, and work exactly as expected.
Up until today, that is.
I finished one of the two remaining items from last nite.
1) no safety catch mechanism.
2) the platform is not straight, it needs more support on the bottom so the tables will not warp from sitting on it.
Got the safety mechinism working, but it was a huge jerry-rigged deal.
While working it, though, one of the ropes broke, so now that implementation is done.
I will have to rebuild it with cable.
