Richard,

I thought I would give you an update on what's been going on up here.  I have
slowly been getting things ready to move outside.  I am trying to get things
set up so all I have to do is roll everything outside and plug everything
together.  I'm trying to get as much wiring as possible set up with
connectors so I can set it up and take it down in maybe 20 minutes.  I still
haven't put the rest of my ground rods in - haven't had time.

I was running the coil in the basement this last weekend with the welder set
so the primary current was about 30 amps - and the breakers (20 amp) did kick
off twice.  It's nice to know they will kick off somewhere.  I still plan to
run with the 40 amp fuses and I will get some more breakers - a 30 amp and a
40 amp.  We have a store here that sells used electrical parts and equipment
so the breakers should not be too expensive.  That is where I bought the
Powerstat variac.

I will be gone for the next week.  We are going to Las Vegas for the Yamaha
dealers meeting and the PGA show, leaving tomorrow (Friday).  I am a Yamaha
golf car dealer here in Spokane.  It will probably take me two days to wade
through all the mail when I get back.
