While @stryeyz soaked in the morning I caught up on a couple shows then around 11am I was headed out to the fire that had been getting built back up. I raked it earlier and it was just ash and a bit of remaining wood but it kicked back into gear and the boys kept feeding it. As I walked along the deck a sweat bee took off and hovered in front of me. I held out my finger and it landed on it and instantly was dabbing for salt.

They are always super mellow and will hang out for a while.

Raked up pine cones and needles to toss on which helped bust the fire back into gear much better.

The brush hides tons of burnables that we are able to find once thrashing around a bit. The farm is getting cleaned up pretty nicely this year.

Mid day I went out and changed up the sheep pen. I closed off their main pen then opened this panel.

The fence is run between the coop and the Tardis.

The jack asses are all timid about exploring new areas.

I then ran fence from the outer to the corner of the garden to give them the hillside to roam.

All that they can now munch on and I hope they do to get it trimmed back a bit. Not as bad as their main pen but just a good trimming.

Finally with no rain for a bit I was able to get my pod out and test out a few things. I mounted my camera to the top of my front mount reserve and it sits just right and has a great view looking down over my out stretched legs. It will remove the weight from my helmet. My food pouch fits in the little pocket on the pod flap, I have room in the in-harness reserve compartment for tree and med kit, then the main back pocket will hold the water reservoir and my radio both will run out and onto the shoulder straps.

Fuck I can't wait to try this thing out!

I got the filament swapped to PET and decided to keep printing the dibbles. I'm going to need a shit ton of these to make the roller setup so have the dozen plate setup saved. These came out good and I think the little use they will get will be fine with the PET.

The tape came so I got the pair of tears covered on the harness. For now I am using this but I will go back later with ripstop and will sew patches over the top and bottom to ensure it stays strong.

Over the afternoon we all gathered sticks and branches and debris from around the farm and hauled it to the burn pile.

The screwed up dibble got a pair used. I glued them together to see if they will make a diabolo type toy only not using the string but just the sticks to roll it... will see if it actually works or not.

Got the fire going for grilling as another storm cell headed our way.

It looked nasty on the doppler and there was some good lightning out in the basin but it mellowed a lot by the time it hit us later.

Grilled the burgers then toasted the buns and had everything inside not long before the rain started.

The bubble around the region seems to come and go but this time it was engaged and the storm cell dissipated mostly as it reached us. This happens a lot where the cell will die before it hits us.

2nd dozen dibbles. Likely will need about 50 for the roller, 5 per board and 10 boards around. I'm over half way already, just 2 more trays of 12 should give me more than enough.

While we ate I put on the Minecraft Movie. I have to admit it was pretty funny. I'm NOT a fan of Jack Black but he did okay in this. Jason Momoa was rather funny in his role and the villagers looked wild. The hard part was hearing past the boys spouting out lines they had seen online.

Headed out to soak afterwards as the bit of rain was moving off.

Tiny cell about to hit now then likely little else the rest of the day. I have the printer started on the next batch of dibbles, will keep working on the design for the dibble roller, get burn pile going again, probably just go kite my wing since the winds look to be insane today... it's 4mph/19mph right now at Inkler's... that's a bit of a spread.
