Time to put the snow tires on the bike. Skipping the studs for now. Salsa, surly, 45 North. Tis the season. ❤️❄️🚴‍♀️

Finished part. Need to sand the edges to make it smooth, but it fits perfectly. Probably reprint it in ASA before sailing season.

Rebuilding sailboat parts in the off season. This winch is no longer made and the plastic is wearing out. Reprinted in PETG and the first version has a few issues to iron out, but pretty sure I added another year or 5 to the life of this part of the boat. Has great bite on every rope. Much improved.

3d Printed upgrades to my Roku remote so it no longer installs channels I don't subscribe to. One of these days might be neat to jailbreak things to change the buttons to something useful but until then getting rid of them is the best thing ever.

This looks dumb AF, but cobbled together a working cable fly machine from a pull-up bar, pulley, kettlebells and random climbing gear. Probably going to tear the moulding off if I add much more weight, but proof of concept might be worth putting in anchors in the attic.

Love sleeping with the windows open in winter and about 40lbs of weighted blankets. It's relaxing just thinking about the chill

Every time I come back in the house the pack goes a bit nuts while I sit and wait for them to recover from the shock that I'm apparently NOT dead in ditch somewhere. This goes on for up to fifteen minutes of excited chaos.

I love experimental cooking. This recipe is pretty dramatic but honestly just mashed potatoes 😄

Lake Michigan Sunset... Oh shame it only posts landscape, this was a beautiful beach scene too

North country trail exploring

A new first for me. Racing J22 in the middle of a snowstorm. We missed the first race because our mast rail was too full of snow to raise the main sail. Eventually got 6th of 10 even after missing the first 2 races. Couldn't feel my feet or fingers by then end. Funnest day of racing in a long time

Interesting weight loss story. I've lost about 12 lbs or so lately without really trying. I was hanging out with a friend and she said I eat like shit. So I decided for the month of October to only eat food I cook myself. The weight is just falling off and I'm not doing anything different otherwise.

Replaced my very easily lost lens covers with new 3d printed equivalents and tied them on with TPU filament. Also added a leftover lanyard from one of the many conventions I go to. Also embossed my name and number into the plastic. Pretty snazzy! 😁

2nd place in outdoor bouldering competition. 103 degree heat index. Happy I completed it but OMG was way too hot

Tonight's experiment turned out unexpectedly delicious.

Cucumber vanilla ice cream.

Damn. The pairing works better than expected and I wrote a program to figure it out. This could unlock some interesting combinations.
