Tasty pets. They are ok for a pet, but like a deer or squirrel, when their nuts drop they sometimes turn aggressive. Climbing and that opposable thumb get into everything. Nothing is safe.
Sweet. There mischievous pets but all pets are. Dogs at one time where NOT supposed to be pets either. When I was in my early 20’s my buddy had one as a pet that use to ride around on the handlebars of his TT500. There is actually a few companies working on domesticated them to be better pets. We want a Fox.
I got my wife a Cricut for xmas so she can up her crafting game. I finally got around to installing and setting up the software on he PC. Ran a project through to test....
I am realy impressed with the precision this thing has. Already has me thinking of it's potential for decal graphics and text labeling for switches and pots on amp builds.
Depends on the limitiations of the software though. Sofar I suspect it is largely just a tool to place premade patterns on a grid for placement on the sheet material. The rest being a storefront to sell their patterns.
[Edit]
Yep, needed to get Inkscape and found a "Knob scale generator" plugin for it. After some trial and error, generating a file the cricut software would correctly interpret, I managed to cut this example (1.75"dia, ~1.2mm line):
People keep all kinds of things as pets; our neighbour used to breed "domestic" rats, gave us the creeps.
I can understand why people keep mice,guinea pigs and rats, but I don't get how things like spiders, snakes and insects make good pets: can they actually return the love?
So yesterday I tripped and fell in my garage and broke my fall with my right arm. My right shoulder now feels like my left shoulder did this past winter when some ice got me.
Hurts holy hell, will go to urgent care today I think.
I'll need help moving stuff around for DDIY this year ☹️
During green flag laps he and I walked down as close as we could (security won't let anyone stand right by the fence) to feel the power of the cars rushing by. It blew both of our caps off. That was cool! But he and I both agree that while the speeds they run on an oval track are impressive we enjoy the road courses better to watch in person. No regrets... check that one off his bucket list.
Just gotta say (not news to me) race fans are generally the best. Most always polite and gracious sort of folks. Walking around in super crowded areas everyones is like "Oops I'm sorry"... or "you go first..." I've been going to races for 30+ years so nothing surprising to me, but Jacob was totally taken back by how polite and friendly everyone was to us. The old guys sitting just behind us were wearing the competitor's shirts but were excited that it was Jacob's first Cup race so they were talking to him about his favorite driver and giving him high fives when the 48 passed another car. That was 100% cool! We've been to minor legue baseball games where the specators around us were total a holes...

I noticed the same thing at our local track when shooting a commercial last year. I didn't run into a single cranky person.
The tan is the worst to do, really hard to doctor up any botched seams. I went by HD and had them scan a sample of the tolex. It ended up to dark. Luckily I didn't screw anything up...to much😛
... only 7 more to go
I haven't been to motor racing for years, the last time was to the Australian F1 Grand Prix at Albert Park back when Mark Webber was racing. Those fans were also polite and friendly, at least in our stand.
However, some spectator areas at our Bathurst 1000 saloon race are to be avoided at all costs: the race is on Sunday, but starting Wednesday some people set up camp and start drinking enormous amounts of beer, so that by race day it's apparently pretty wild. Not even the Police go there...
Ever since I hurt my knee I've enjoyed being able to walk. Went to the gym this morning for the first 10000 steps, rest is at work. Work keeps me active, for sure.
I always feel better when I get home after a day that I put in 7000 steps or so. The days that I sit in front of my computer programming PLC logic or HMI screens all day... not so much. You'd think I'd be raring to get home and mow the lawn or something else physical. Nope.

That's not you (Nick) holding the coon, is it? If yes, you look a lot different from the last time we met (first or second DIY SD maybe?).

Foxes smell bad as they have a musk gland.

Good documentary on the late, great John Surtees, only person to win Formula One World Championships on two wheels and four:
At the 59 minute mark you'll find out the real reason why he left Ferrari, it's rather chilling.

Not good, just heal up, I'm sure that I speak for everyone when I say that we'll all pitch in moving stuff.
Yesterday in St. Louis

Have you taken him to a Top Fuel event?
Next on the bucket list. Hopefully Route 66 in Joliet next year.

After yesterday's storm.
Independence Day looking

Just more damping material . . .
Wood and tolex options for the amplifier boxes..
One wrapped in the burgundy snakeskin...
Looks kinda like snake skin . . .

They call that area "The Jungle" at the 12 hours of Sebring race.
I enjoy drag racing and dirt track racing - not much of a fan of roundy-round pavement racing, but stuff like road racing is pretty fun to watch.
Pool day!!!

Yep! Just got home and the rest of my family was in our pool.
Reed Timmer and the Dominator at the Cubby’s gas station in Tea SD.👀👀👀

Yeah, driving a desk all day has never really been my style. I appreciate it sometimes, but generally speaking I'm happier moving around.
