A busy and mixed week :) (Patreon)

This week's video is a little bit of a mixed bag :) What I'm most excited about is the upcoming generator project. I'll post a photo of the 402 with the valve cover removed. You guys are going to blow a gasket - it's so freaking cute! It looks more like a sewing machine than a diesel engine. It might be a couple of weeks until the two alternators show up, but I can still get the heat exchanger cleaned up and take care of a few other things.

As you can see, at the end of the video, Jokull is doing well. He seems to have recovered fully after his surgeries :) A lot of people have been asking, and I've meant to mention him in a video the last couple of weeks. 

In 16 days, I'm leaving to spend Christmas with Ava. We're going to Michigan to stay with her parents for a week and then fly back to LA. I've got almost all the hardware I need to be able to work on one of the Danfoss plus 1 controllers for Athena. I'm still very much a noob, but I've got no doubt I'll be able to build something super spiffy for Athena. The charge controller (regulates alternator output) I mentioned in the video is based on a Danfoss controller. Anywho while I'm with Ava, I think I'll be able to find a few days to geek out :D (Ava has to work some of the time I'm there).

I'm hoping I'll be able to film and edit a happy new year video over the next couple of days. Last year I made a video summing up all the work done in that year. I think that's a nice tradition and a good way to end the year :) 

I've got laundry calling my name. I better go take care of that :) I hope you've all had an amazing weekend! Thank you so much for your support  :)
