Tonight was a time of great nervousness and anticipation. I was finally going to drill a hole in one of my shiny kettles. Instead, all I managed to do was dig halfway through the kettle wall because my drill battery died. So I get to continue to be worried that I will somehow mess it up until tomorrow. I did get all of the holes marked that need to be drilled. There are 5 total and each one is going to take awhile. The kettle does not like to be drilled and the going is very slow.
Since I couldn't drill, I decided to work on my temperature probes and I managed to finish one that I started a couple months ago. The most annoying part of putting these together is putting the second layer of expandable sleeving over the wires. The two sleeves just continually grab each other and make life difficult. I was expecting the soldering of the very small wires to be more difficult, but I made quick work of it. Now when I manage to drill through my boil kettle and punch the hole for the temp probe I will be able to test fit the probe in the kettle wall!
