If someone breaks into my house I'd call 811.
Need to know where to dig a hole.
The law states you need to call “JULIE” 2 days before you dig. I’m not sure who she is or how she’s gunna help me clean up. Maybe she just talks nicely to me while waiting 48 hrs.

Hours 13-16

Haven’t fired once in my life before this test started. These 30 rounds for the test were my first ever. Using a 9mm Glock17… 10 from 5 yards, 10 from 7 yrds, 10 from 10 yards.
30/30.
70% in the black from each distance is passing.

They told me to aim high (7,8,9 chest) but it’s hard not to aim at the orange. Lol. Need to work on only letting trigger back to reset point.

Look at me go. Bobs Gone Wild. Cutting with Reckless Abandon.

Could be done any day now. It’s just a matter of time.

The old "miter saw groove cutting" technique?
Nothing cool like that. Just shortening the “sleeve” component by means of circumcism. These “sleeves” were about 28.5mm long. I was going to press them onto “tube” component so that the sleeve “overhangs” about 9.5mm. Leaving 9.5mm for a bearing pocket. But wouldn’t leave me enough length of “tube” to connect to the 3”x1” frame bar cut to an angle of ~28.5 degrees IIRC.

The frame cut is about 3.4”. The part of the “tube” between the “sleeves” is currently about 3.8”.

Each end of the “tube” is inserted into the sleeve about 10mm.

So I want these “sleeves” to be about 19.5mm long (instead of 28.5mm). 10mm on the tube, 9.5mm for bearing pockets. image.jpgIMG_6800.jpegIMG_6801.jpeg

I think the bearing pockets need to be slightly more complicated than I originally thought.

It seems I need the pocket itself to be “stepped”
One shoulder for the outer race.
Then the inner “tube” needs to be opened up for part of the “inner bearing” that protrudes past the outer race. The protruding part is about 1.29” in diameter and the tube is about 1.25” diameter.
