At an emergency vets office, trying to figure out our normally happy & healthy boy. A urinary blockage of some kind, 24 hours later...we don't know where this is going.

A picture from before he was settled in (he's a Himalayan, I promise).

Sunday morning market. There's also some decent pies and breads at other stalls, but really... It is the cinnamon rolls.

This is most of their collection.

I 3d-modeled/printed some Christmas trees last year for coworkers to decorate for their desks. They asked for pumpkins.

I gave them sheets with a pumpkin in them, had them draw their jack-o'-lantern. And I converted them into something printable.

The video was the original.

My partner says I don't do enough selfies.

And clearly I don't practice, as Astrid takes over the frame.

Work picked up a laser cutter, and I have been learning freecad (to supplement my much better Blender skills) and the laser cutter software.

I dug out some old slate coasters from a previous me who did hobby laser cutting, and made a couple of coasters for coworkers.

I attempted to wake up Astrid for outside time before work. She politely and sleepily pushed my hand away.

This is how it turned out. It lost the sharp edge style that I liked, and the eyes got nudged, even with using the paste. Still, it is a lovely and useful fox

The catio is well-received by the owners of the property. Allows for sun and shade, fresh air, and keeps the dog out of their reserved turf. But they might want more shelves.

We did a beginner, 2-hour fused glass at a place in Woodinville, called Molten Works. I will see the final part in a week or so.

A lot easier than stained glass.

We got out of bed this drizzly Saturday morning, walking the doggo down by the water. A couple of miles, Astrid was super happy to explore on her walk. I think my partner managed to save 20 snails off of some of the more inland sidewalks. (I need to start up SnailTrail Rangers, LLC again.)

Mother's Day 2025 - she had mentioned 6 weeks ago that she was having trouble getting out to her flowers this year. (My more-skilled partner helped a lot with my blue flower.) #stainedglass

When your partner's interests need something that your hobbies can provide - tensioner for 1/2" electric tape horse fencing.

The model is my take, based on similar products out there. It's kind of cool - the top cap can flex, allowing the bottom to lock against diagonal teeth #3dprinting #blender

Some friends wanted random initiatives every round for D&D. The DM having the google sheet, more work. So I made a sheet-to-ESP32-to-LCD 1602 project. Lots of sheet trickery, combined with Apps Script.

It was also my first time pulling data from the internet with an ESP32 to display to LCD. Fun!

I don't always get 100%. I am horrible at making the bed.

My most recent make.

I think it went through 5 design iterations, and one mysterious "why is the circuit no longer working" step. 2 AA batteries, a 200mm long flexible LED, a button in back. The LEDs are about $1 on AliExpress. Next is figuring out a cheap way to use USB power.
