I’ve managed to summon some extra motivation and find time recently to do some things I’ve been meaning to do for a long time. For one, I got a new driver for the mill that will run the larger motors. I got it set up and everything works beautifully, I’m just waiting until I have parts that need to be made.
On a more exciting note, I’ve been doing flying lessons at Danbury Airport (DXR) with Arrow Aviation and at Vansant Airport (9N1) in PA. Here’s the nice J-3 Cub I flew at Vansant:

I was happy to find that it flies *exactly* like my own little plane (which makes sense since my plane is a J-3 replica). In any event, I’m trying hard to get my license done this month (unlikely) or next month (more likely) so as soon as it starts warming up I can go off and adventure without hindrance.
Finally, the least exciting - I’ve been coding algorithms to deduce coming events from sudden volume changes in stocks and options. As with all my previous exploits, it will make a ton of income if it works however I’m not convinced I can find the right trends. Nonetheless the risk of wasted time isn’t huge compared to the return of significant gains.
