OMG. My dream Thinkpad is finally done.

Just needs one last cleanup. It took more than a year to find the machine and all the parts, the keyboard arrived from Lithuania this morning. She works as good as new. I have Windows 10 installed on the internal SSD and…yes, I kept the old mechanical drive…that will run ZorinOS (it’s a Linux distro).

It’s still missing one screw on the bottom and I am planning on buying an LTE PC-CARD 3G modem from the mid 2000s…but they are impossible to find.

Another dream would a XIRCOM modem/ethernet with X-Jack….I will keep searching.

This ratchet cost me way too much money but..

It’s heavy like a tank, almost weird to hold, it feels epic. But, the epicness doesn’t end there, it’s a rotary ratchet, too. The handle turns, you can even use a hex key in tight spaces. I need to find a project now.

More solar stuff coming next week, including the best controller on the market today. I am crazy excited.
