Well, I've still got things to do, like take care of the missus till shes 
not breathing some morning, COPD. Then I am still working on a mister 
design for a 6040 mill that will only use 1 8oz coke bottle of coolant 
fluid to cool a 1/8" milling bit spinning 24k rpms while milling a panel 
full of connector holes in the 3/4" diameter range.  And do it w/o 
burning up my shops cheap air-compressor.  The instant you let the alu 
start to heat, it will weld its flutes full of alu and stop cutting, 
which equals a broken $20 tool because the machine isn't stoping. The 
secret is an atomizer that by the time the mist hits the tool, is 
running -25C from evaporative cooling.  Designing that atomizer can be a  
challenge. As fluid control, I using a peristaltic pump like is used to 
control IV flow in hospitals, but they're driven by steppers which you 
can turn at any practical speed for that use while the ones I bought 4 
of at <$8 each are 12 volt pmdc motors, so I am still working out a 
pulsed drive scheme that runs it slow enough.  Some more hal code to 
write, and gui controls to expand on yet but it should work fine when 
I'm done. This sort of stuff keeps me out of the bars.  But you knew 
that already. ;-)

Thanks Richard & take care now.
