And spun the mattress

Yesterday P found me a head lamp and I investigated the snot out of the main shaft, all the linkage bars, and cams on the White. Unfortunately I could not figure out what is causing the sticky spot. I was able to disconnect the feed dogs mechanism, so it’s not that, but none of the other screws I found let me take anything else off. I’ve grudgingly decided to live with it, and spent the rest of the day starting to clean the enclosure. The machine turns out to be green, not black! 😱 I’m using Fast Orange Smooth and a toothbrush; tiny circles on one small area at a time until what wipes off stops being grey. There are some extra-grimy spots where I tested using alcohol, but that started to soften the finish, so no go.

Lunch was good, snack was good, dinner was good, then crossword, DS9, snack, and sleep.
