Delta IV Rocket 3DP, Upswing, Sunshine, Hay Cage, PDC, Fire, Ice, Grilling, Tom Green Show - Saturday

in Homesteading19 days ago

I was quite happy to wake up to the overnight prints having succeeded yesterday morning. It was a bit worrying given they were so tall and I let them finish in the dark. I still have a lean to deal with which seems to be the bed leveling but I will investigate more and try to figure out what really is the issue. It's most noticeable when things get over 4 or 5 inches tall.

The vitamins A,C,D and the NAC have done wonders for the suds and I am feeling quite a bit better on that side. My back is still trashed but at least one thing is off the plate. We got a day of sunshine and warmer temps after the drenching of rain, which was .75" for the day.

Mid day I headed out to the sheep pen and was a bit surprised the ground let the hay cage loose. The whole pen is still frozen pretty solid but the rains had done just enough thawing to allow me to yard the cage out and wrap it around the new bale. I have to put the cage around the bale or else the sheep destroy the bale before eating everything.

The Delta IV required a lot of printing to get all the parts done and it wasn't until right before bed the last parts were done.

Luke really is on another level from the other darts players. It's amazing watching how easily he swipes veterans aside. It was great to see Dimitry get a 9 darter then win his match against MVG.

Found new whistles and tossed them on a plate. I have to say I like theses the best of the ones I have so far. They are single note and dual note and I like the single note especially. I am going to try and edit it to make a much lower tone version.

I hate my fire pit now. The thing needs a complete tear down and rebuild. No air is flowing through the bricks so the fires are shit and go out constantly. I got the fire going with SUPER pitchy wood and thought it would do fine, but it didn't. The lack of side air intake meant it snuffed itself out pretty quickly.

The joys of rain on snow. Near the coop where the flood from the garden runs off there is a sheet of ice that is a bit hidden. R nearly landed on his head from it.

The light of the headlamp glints off it which is the tell, but the sheet is long and wide and even knowing I was on it I still slipped and had to catch myself.

So thanks to the firepit being shit I went to the Blackstone to grill our burgers and cook the veggies.

The last parts of the Delta IV Heavy came off in the evening and I just needed the stand to print.

I'm pretty stoked to see Tom Green back in the spotlight. He is one of the few people to have been through the Hollywood meat grinder and come out the other side without the insane trauma/addictions/cabals etc that seems to be part and parcel.

The media pioneer. I still can't get past the fact Rogan has a billion dollar podcast thanks entirely to Tom Green and Tom hasn't ever been a dick and demanded compensation from anyone for what he created.

Headed out to soak then back inside to watch an episode before bed.

Was back inside in time for the first half of the stand to come off the printer. I had to hack the thing in half to get it to fit the bed. I will glue it together today.

The other half printed while we watched the show.

Up early this morning since Man Utd are on and likely to lose to Palace as well as the PDC being on. I have the printer going already, am still sore, will get Dummy parts printed for J, will wash clothes if my order arrives earlier, and we need to do some serious cleaning around the house.

Glad to hear you are better!👍
.75 inches of rain way too much!😳

You got the rain and we have been getting hit with snow every other day. Sounds like a new firepit is a project for the summer. Stay warm and off that ice.
