Snow, Dentist, Snowblowing, 3DPrinting, PDC, HSW, Great 8, Krumble - Thursday

in Homesteading3 days ago

Well, we finally got a bit of snow and yesterday morning there was 2 inches that had fallen overnight. It gave a whole 3 inches on the ground around the farm and I was surprised when I got the text that school was on normal schedule. Normally if we have a few inches here then the rest of the district has a lot more than us since most is higher elevation.

7am I was in town and waiting for my dentist to put in the permanent filling. It was awesome, NO NUMBING! There is not root in the tooth so no lidocaine needed. She popped out the temp filling then got the permanent welded in place then buffed smooth. It is a huge difference getting the new UV set fillings over the old amalgam garbage. These set so fast it really was a game changer for dentistry.

Then it was the slog home which was a pain in the ass since traffic was a slug. I stopped for gas to let the plows get ahead of me as I was coming up fast behind them.

Our slightly winterish wonderland.

I put the printer to work once I was home and the day ended up devoted to honeycomb storage wall parts. I was in a hurry to get the next print going and forgot to take these off before starting and had to run over and yank them off the plate and in the process broke the tips of a couple hooks.

I figured I should go ahead and run the snowblower around the farm a bit sine it won't be warming for a while. I got the driveway cleared and some of the paths in about half an hour. Funny it was one week ago when I pulled it out and got it running, it took that long for us to get enough snow for me to use it.

It's only 3 inches of snow so I was throwing a lot of pine cones and sticks on the trails and gravel on the driveway.

About 1hr45min per HSW wall panel and this is the corner piece for a 4 or 9 section layout.

The PDC was on for premiere league and some solid matches played and in the end Humphries won the night in Belfast.

I'm playing with the settings to try and speed these up a bit and I think I can get down to about 1hr30mins for each one. The whole 9 panel setup showed 15hr40min to finish but that's actual run time not including time between prints.

Mid afternoon I was happy to see a bit of sun come peaking through into the yard. It had warmed to right about freezing but the sun kicked it up a notch. BAMM!

I headed north to pick the boys up after STEM and lo and behold the highway was perfectly dry and normal speeds.

The hockey world is on OV watch and he got another last night which puts him 16 away from breaking the record which he is going to do this season.

Then the Kraken shit the rink in grand fashion. Dumbass got himself a double minor which lead to one of their goals. They are NOT doing well this season and the home record is pure shit. I'd say the 4 nations break may be good for them but at this point there looks little they can do.

The 4 corners done in black PET I swapped to the green and printed out the center piece. I swapped over to white and set the top middle section to print.

Headed out to soak but got a bit over half an hour thanks to my shitty skin still. It's getting better, just stupid slowly.

The game ended 3-1 so they didn't get obliterated, just destroyed. The white panel was still printing when I went to bed and is done as I'm typing this.

4am wide awake today... So here I am getting this done extra early. I will get the printer going in an hour when everyone is awake, get the boys to school, move snow around the farm, co-op pickup is midday, Man Utd will get embarrassed again today, and will keep watching the amazingness going on in the governemnt right now. #ENDTHEFED

Damn right, #endthefed and while we're at it, #endtheatf

This shit is great. They are auditing all the agencies! I am so stoked to see the troves of info coming out and all the NGOs getting named and cut off from funds. The past 60+ years have been the largest act of treason in history. I wish we get Soros in a stockade next to Pelosi and the rest all lined up in the capital mall so we can have a good old fashioned public stoning.

Snowblowers are wonderful, my dad had a couple and we were growing up sure beach shoveling!!👍😀
