    Picking up Bad Habits-a startup journey

    SIDE HUSTLE

    Dropped off parts for powder coating and anodizing on Monday. Did black oxide on some of the steel parts myself, and also been working on wiring. Things are moving along well and should be done with the final assembly next week, then probably just another week to program it!
