He/Him | 35 | I am a nerd.
I do computer stuff/IT/cyberwhatnot.
I tinker, take apart, build, make and break things.
Learning is a passion, but so is perpetually finding more hobbies.
I will post many pictures of my husky, Artemis and bengal, Bagheera.

Designed and printed a travel case for my shaving gear. Turned out really nice!

Working on changing the X axis gantry for my 3D printer with a linear rail system. There's a lot of change to the nozzle position that I am going to have to work with, but so far the mounting system is looking good!

The mead is aging with the oak, had a taste the other day and wow, it is really good.

I am actually cooking my third spatchcocked turkey in the last three weeks. It really is the best way to do it. I usually just spray a bit of oil and salt it the day before, then add the rest of the spices right before cooking it in my smoker.

Here are some more! This river shot was my favorite long exposure I took this weekend. It took me more attempts to get this one than I'd like to admit. This tunnel I thought looked wonderful in this light. These adventures really make me want to get some camera upgrades.
A close shot of the river over some stones. The long exposure setting makes the turbulence blur and gives spots in the water a silky white flowing texture rather than the turbulence normally seen. A stone arch tunnel with a small stream running though it. Vines can be seen hanging from the stone wall face over the tunnel entrance.

Some photos I took during my hike this weekend. Playing around with aperture settings as well as shutter speed. It was a wonderful hike. Photography is fun!
Picture of a pile of stones in the foreground and a river in the background. The large aperture setting has the stones in focus and the river out of focus and blurry.

Picture of a stone rock wall and waterfall running down it. The faster shutter speed brings individual droplets of water running down the rock face into focus.

The slower shutter speed hides the individual droplets of water and gives the appearance of a silky stream of water running down the rock face.

Thank you, I'm fucking beat. But I can't take all the credit. I have the best running partner in the world.

What an insanely good long weekend I just had. Rarely can I say that this, and it was fantastic.

Food, drink, fire and good doggo. What else can I ask for.
A roaring fire pit and Artemis the husky sitting past it in the grass, being vigilant for those squirrels she's after.

Good morning, it is Monday.

Is it still camping if you have cell service? Or is that just paying to sleep in the cold?
A campsite where Artemis the husky is standing facing away, in the background you can see a hammock hanging between two trees and a tent further back. Artemis the husky laying on the ground, the only light is the small red flashlight I have shining on her. Everything else is almost pitch black.

That looks nice! Can I eat it? I don't know anything about mushrooms, but I like taking pictures of things!
Wild mushroom seen up close and from below, almost like you're standing under it. Side profile of a wild mushroom, Artemis the husky can be seen sniffing at it.

Something's got their attention. Could it be the squirrels?
Artemis the husky standing over Bagheera the Bengal cat in a large grass yard. Both have their heads turned the same way looking at sometime off in the distance.

Artemis and I ran a 10k PR! Look how happy she looks! But now we're both pretty tired. Laying in front of a fan after a run is a plus though.
Happy dog looking at the treat I'm holding. Tired dog laying in front of the fan.

What if it's a husky instead. I'm all for that.

Really good evening to just vibe outside next to a fire.
Artemis the husky sitting in the grass, there's firewood on the ground below and the edge of a fire pit can be seen on the left edge of the image. It's dark out and the yard is being illuminated by the fire.

Was also feeling very crafty this weekend. Made a joggers belt and leash attachment for jogging with Artemis.

Who likes cider? Finally kegged it and is ready to enjoy!
Two glass carboy jugs with cider on counter with two small kegs to the right on the same counter top.
