| No I don't. But, I guess I do now. Is it supposed to be about Institution on the constitution or immigration or something? |
If at first you do not succeed, try and try again till you can't try no more. |

| What's neat is, they are very progressive. I wish Aaron could have tuned in Sataurday about noon. They had a high hauncho from GM on who was talking about fuel cells they are beggining to market in the some of the new vehicles. He said they can't produce enough to meet the demand. |

| Can you believe, second night in a row I know of. The Alex Jones replay is double tracked only when he speaks and when his program replay begins. Not during commercials though. Uh huh...I think they just fixed it. I warned them. Yeah, they just fixed it. They better! |

I looked at it. What do you think? You know it has to be able to handle reasonably high wind and have the kind of torque needed to tilt the panel.
Hey? Liked that did ya? Makes you think doesn't it? |

You know, I have been over the menus is this "SketchUp" program several times. I cannot find the scaling feature. They showed one example somewhere, where they had what looked like an X,Y coordinate contantly displayed in the lower right hand corner. I don't see anyway to display it and I don't think it would do much good anyway. That little tape measure thing is an after the fact pain in the horse's ruty patuty. Really, I think this program is just good for a 3D visual which is great for conveying a concept to let's say a potential investor or buyer or boss even. So it is useful, but more in the sales end of things. It's not really an engineering type program per say.
Anyway, I've been looking for some freebies and of course "AutoCAD" is out though it is probably the best. I'm downloading this one right now to try out: http://www.cadlogic.com/products/draftit/ |

| That's a different design than before. I thought that we were going with the single pulley in the middle attached to one motor. However, this is an interesting design. Those would be servo motors like in the new gibson auto tuning guitar. I highly doubt that those would be able to withstand high winds and whatnot. Here is th guitar: http://www.gibson.com/robotguitar/guitar.html Click on the tuners. (Up the neck on the headstock. The strings go to them. For all who do not know.) |

No it's not different. The hinge pins have idle gears or bearings. I'm not done yet. The cable will connected at the two other sides and will roll on a pulley.
Anyway, you never saw this? http://www.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia/Audio/Audio-Plugins/GTune-GY.shtml . This is a guitar tuner you download. It is actually a frequency counter that goes up to about 10 KHz. |

Yes, I knew they had software...But that's a robot guitar! I think it's pretty neat. And they other design looked like this. That is what you posted before, Is it not?

Yes, and so the drawing previous to this one is the perpindicular sides. I just started that drawing with the hinge supports
LOL....yeah I missed that... Self tuning. Gotcha now. Pretty neat. Certainly innovative, but I don't know if I would like a feature like that. The point being, will they sell enough to be worth while? |

| Shoot! That "DraftIt" program appears to need visual basic to run. |

| Oh ok. Apparently it's being worthwhile to sell. They are making major money off it. How would you get visual basic. That's a programming language isn't it? |
