TDE, 3DP, Heater, Dr, Gate Job Done, Practice, Valentine's Dance, Trailer - Friday

TOO DAMNED EARLY... Ah yes, 3am my constant companion. Not sure still why my brain MUST see you each morning.

Dumb phone camera cant seem to take the pic at the right time and missed the second...

Since I have my translucent green PETG in the printer I kicked out a trio of frogs, scaling up to 125% for the larger.

A set of my picks. I doubt I will need more anytime soon. I think I have 20 made.

5:30am I hit the heater control to turn it up a bit for the morning and nothing happened... After @stryeyz got in the hot tub I climbed into the attic and found that the door had popped open and let the switch open. I slotted the door in properly and it kicked right back on.

My podiatry appointment went really well and I am getting new orthotics. It seems I have been weight bearing on my middle toes instead of the big toes which is leading to much of the pain and issues.

Stopped to tell @stryeyz then hit N40 but they didn't have the right sized pin I could find.

It was about 11:15 when I got up to work on the gate which required moving the vehicle sensor closer to the gate and closer to the control board and receiver unit.

It had to go half the distance backwards but still allows a full car length between the gate and vehicle once it has triggered the sensor.

It was a fight to get the wireless to connect consistently thanks largely to the metal fencing I presume.

After half an hour of fiddling I finally got the gate to work with the sensor.

It even locks now thanks to the bolt I installed in place of the pin. The keypad works, remotes work, exit sensor works, solar panel charges battery, lock works. All in all I am pretty happy with the result.

Still fighting the printer I needed to make some chord diagrams for easier practice so printed out a template to draw them. Then made up a half sheet of basic chords. I can say for sure that my mandolin messing about did a lot of good as I can strum pretty well already. I really need to get the left hand working right.

It was the family Valentines dance at the elementary school which we got to right at 5pm as some of the first there. The cafeteria had a layout of food stuffs and lots of sugar stuffs that the kids all were fueled by the night.

@stryeyz did get me to dance with her some. R managed a quick dance with her before he was off like a shot again.

After the short drive home afterwards I got the trailer hooked up for the grain run I have done this morning already.

IMG_20260213_192350.jpg

Been to town for grain already this morning, left at 4:30am and was home before 5:30am. I have to spread it around the main garden or in the greenhouse, have watercolors I have to catch up on, rain and maybe snow in the forecast for next 7 days, I have to figure out what is grinding on the right rear wheel of the sled, and likely be paid for the gate job.
