Spent half-hour finishing up cleaning the lathe. Just can not stand filthy tools. Drives me nuts.

Sadly can not get all dirt out as some is stuck pretty well to the rough finish. Heck even with a toothbrush I could not get all the dirt out. Maybe next time I will use a brass suede brush on it.

Still, it is looking a lot better than it did before and I performed a little maintenance at the same time by lubricating the cross-slide & comp slide, leadscrew.

Yes, if I can get them, I will be replacing the stickers on the control panel. that old one is distracting me on a level I can not even begin to describe, enough to say it is highly annoying and yes, I will be swapping the "E-switch" for a new one at some point since I already have one to hand. At the moment, it is minus the "lid" because it literally will not fit under the cupboard it stands under when not in use with the switch lid in place.

Wait until you are really old and realize that today isn’t Wednesday but Friday! After 5 years of retirement it’s handy having one of those daily pill cases to remind me since one day is much like another.
 
Ugh . Up at 6 am . Will be waiting on Rick to arrive with the trailer to load up the BP and accesories around 8ish . Need coffee . Pics of rigging to come .
 
Bridgeport was loaded up . Had some issues with the winch , but the Kubota saved the morning once again . :encourage: I'll post pics if the buyer approves them . 6 more square feet of space in the garage to be filled up with something else from the other basement .

Couldn't agree more. I'm pretty sure I've been retired over two years!
