That's sad indeed Liam. I'm not in my 20's, so obviously I'm not who I 
was then.  OTOH, at 89 I'm in great shape for someone who has worked 
outside that famous box all his life. I'm not sitting around in a 
rocking chair waiting to quit. I just designed, in OpenSCAD, a muffler 
for an old bucket-vac that sucks up the debris from one of my cnc 
milling machines. Still has a blast of air coming out at well over 100 
mph, but the white noise is down at least 20 db. Motors whine is still 
there but its a lot less headache inducing than 115 db of white noise.

Now I need to make a box to hide a healthy amp rated SSR that shorts the 
on-off switch, with the SSR being controlled by the B-step pin of a std 
breakout-board used by parport driven cnc machinery.  Probably a printed 
box I'll shoe-goo to the vacuum someplace. Haven't designed it yet. 10 
feet of 28ga wire to control the SSR with a logic signal is by far 
cheaper than 20 feet for wire heavy enough to run the vaccuum. ;o)>

Writing gcode might be something you could do to pay the bills?

Best wishes, Liam, take care and stay well.

Cheers, Gene Heskett.
