One of the things I did was write 15 medieval poems in a form called a roundel (made popular by Chaucer). I'm now writing them in calligraphy so I can bind them into a book.

Almost done with my latest calligraphy project. After that, the illumination. Yippee! Almost half done.

I started on this stained glass project over two and a half years ago. I'm finally getting back to it and plan to get it done within two weeks.

Drove up to the Owyhee Mountains and above the inversion. I can see clear across the valley.

Fly nebula and some star clusters in Auriga the Charioteer.

Finally, my one hour exposure of monkey head nebula. This time I used a newer battery in my Stellina, robotic telescope.

A picture from my previous life. I was an amateur near space explorer and this is an image of some payloads that I launched on a high altitude weather balloon. The average altitude of my 200 flights was 88,000 ft. You could see the curvature of the earth and the blackness of space on these flights.

My Stellina robotic telescope recorded monkey head nebula in Orion the Hunter last night. Unfortunately the battery died only after 6 minutes. This is the enhanced image that I got.

The first two casts, not looking too good. I have the third one cooling I'm going to let it cool for a long time before I open the mold.

The second half of the silicone mold is done. Now to go outside and try casting a die in pewter.

First half of the mold has set. Lateral try to cast the second half.

My first attempt to cast pewter with high temperature silicone rubber.

Learning to play the recorder. This is my attempt to play the Bell Tower.

First snow of the year.

Completed a backgammon board, but for a medieval version called the English Game.

My new winding jig for chainmail.
