Yesterday I did a second pass over the under carriage of the White, then started cleaning disassembled parts. I may need to break out the buffer wheel on the dremel to polish up some of the bobbin/shuttle area. I definitely need to start setting timers when I sit down at the bench, because I’ve been losing track and throwing off my eating schedule.

After lunch we did the taxes and the census (ugh aggressively gender and sexuality binary, prepare yourself).

Watching videos about how to rewire and recondition electric motors, reading articles on how to set the timing on vintage machines (since I’m pretty sure I pulled all the operative bits off the needle bar, whoops), and a fun community of treadle and hand-crank machine enthusiasts who are still using the internet like it’s 1995, going strong and no sign of stopping.

Late dinner, DS9, no snack, sleep. Dreamt of napping with cats, a board game based on building up complicated hairstyles, a husky colony in symbiosis with a set of beehives, and alternate-universe highly-flammable honey.
