I do things with stuff that wasn’t meant to do the things I make it do.
Nailed it.

Check out this oak wasp nest (gall?) that my son found!

Got carpenter bees boring into your house or deck?

Don’t kill them. They are important native pollinators.

Hang a log with some pilot holes drilled in it and they’ll choose it instead!

Big buzzy curious bees that you’d have to work really really hard to get stung by. Really hard.

Market vs what we pick in season in MO.

Still, those market chanterelles would be darned tasty.

Just such a trip to walk in the woods and pick 20 pounds in less than 20 minutes when the season is good.

Egg market still dammed weird around these parts. Only one vendor and ridiculous prices.

My Glowforge's carriage belt came loose. Not a big deal; pulley unscrewed itself.

Requires an hex driver to tighten.

Conveniently, the tool that came with every NeXT cube to maintain the machine is exactly the right sized hex driver.

Proof that my "junk drawer" has treasures within.

A laser cutter + a box generator and I’m unstoppable in my organization skills (though my chaos making skills far outshine).

Have a surplus of lemons and limes from our trees. Dessert ensued.

Meyer’s lemon custard tart.

Triple berry lime tart.

Delicious.

Driving around today and looked left to see if traffic was clear and this hawk was hanging right by the intersection.

At one point, this was the mark of staying in a cutting edge business forward luxury hotel.

Now?

Sure sign your rooms are up for their decade+ update.

Yeah. Whole bunch of admins in the shit right about now.

My sympathies.

Beer on my tab tomorrow.

Been there. Done that. Never at this scale.
