[New Build] And So It Begins...

Das Wife Unit (AKA "Female Companionship Unit (FCU)"  AKA "Yes, Dear" AKA "Klara") decided to start building the scanner this morning while I am stuck here at a well known Cheese And Sausage Gift Basket Company... ensuring our Dry Salami gets delivered to your back door before the holidays.     

Ahem.   

Anyway.     I have a long list of THINGS WE NEED FROM THE HARDWARE STORE because apparently the included screws do not meet her indescribably picky metal-working princess-of-the-trades standards.     And apparently she is  not amused about the lack of technical drawings.        SHE DOES NOT LIKE WORKING FROM YOUTUBE VIDEOS, and this is my fault...  even though I told her to wait.

This is kit 1 of 2.    Funny story --  we raised enough money selling Food Safe Cookie Cutter custom prints this year that I decided to invest in an Atlas kit.    One of the joys of marriage is a thing called a Joint Account.   Meaning you both put money into the account and you both can withdraw.   This has never been an issue for us as I trust her implicitly and she trusts me as well.  We've never had any sort of issue...

Until I clicked "buy" and the statement popped up on her screen and she screamed "OMG YOU RUINED CHRISTMAS FOREVER I ALREADY BOUGHT YOU ONE OF THESE ZOMG ZOMG ZOMG."   It was decided at this point... well we have 12 printers why not two scanners.

Anyway.   I have no idea how far she got but she stopped texting me profanity laced tirades about fasteners an hour ago.  Either the Pi board power supply electrocuted her or she found something else to work on.   Probably the second because she just texted me about the adjustments I made to her TIG-welder (also profanity laced.)      She used to be so nice. 

So that's where things stand with our build at the moment,  more as we move forward and also pictures.

Jingle ALL The Way,

BROF and FCU
