Love the use of empty water bottles for packing...way to recycle!.
I had those set aside for something else and decided I didn't like that plan so I thought if people can bag air, surely I can bottle it. They made for light and large filler. As long as you get the caps on snugly, they should hold up pretty well.
I love the shipping notice that I just got from paypal. Does this mean the ones I picked up at the Academy don't count?
AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH.........no
As for the continuing heat-sink saga, I got the material for the heat-sinks. I could not get it locally, so had my wife pick it up in Indy (90 miles away) when she went to drop off our niece at the airport. Told her and the people at the metal supply what I needed. She gets it home and I notice it seems awfully thick. I measure it and apparently .064" (14 gauge) to them means .102" (10 gauge). Not my wife's fault obviously (she left her calipers at home
), but you would think that people who sell metal for a living (especially since it is mostly by weight) would know the difference. Not a big deal except the heat-sinks made from these will be harder to hand-fit if needed. I don't remember if the people left were in the last coop or not, but these heat-sinks will be about the same as the ones I got from RJ for the last coop which were made from the wrong material.
I made a new print and adjusted it for the increased thickness so hopefully they should fit well and no adjustments will be needed, but that is the latest. I hope to get them sheared and formed next week.
Almost everyone should have their orders by now except for 4 people and I'll send one of those off tomorrow. If your order has been marked as shipped and you have not received your order yet, let me know.
Thanks,
