Then I tried a print at 500% scale and minimal infill which produced a pretty good print for the lower setting I had.

I had gone out to the storage and realized the sheep were out of water. It's that time of year where they need more so I hauled the tubs out and got them all filled. They were all VERY happy at the fresh fills.

I was standing out at the truck looking at the shit show when my Dad called and we talked about the trials of the truck. I noticed the sudden thwack of rain drops so had to quick grab a big garbage bag to cover the hoist thanks to the mass of storms in the region.

They got home from the craft show and a few of the dummy and whistles sold and she sold a switch plate. Super cool! I put this through the printer to see, I did a search for red Pokemon since that was the filament I had in. The legs are STUPID thin and ended up breaking in the support removal process. The rest of it came out pretty good though.

@stryeyz took J to town to pickup his packet for Junior Bloomsday run today. So I got R loaded up in the sled and we headed up north for a test drive of it and to hit the ice cream shop in Loon Lake. There were some BADASS storms rolling through!

It was kinda like midwest storms look. They were plowing along from the northwest to southeast so had an awesome look as they hit the plain north of Spokane.

The sled did just fine other than the shake between 60 and 70 mph and we got to the shop and parked, getting out a car next to us was just opening and a family of 6 was getting out. R and I stepped fast and slid in front of them.

4 quarts of Umpqua ice cream and some candy R wanted and we were on our way home. The traffic was actually not bad and it flowed pretty well the whole way home, which was a surprise given it's the 395.

I had ZERO desire to work on the truck and spent part of my afternoon getting my paraglider and gear ready for flight today. I also got a fire going in my make shift pit so IO could grill our burgers which ended up not nearly as solid as normal... too much liquids in the mix I think.

UFC was on and the better fights were on the main card.

The engine sits like this for now. I will work on it tomorrow. I need a serious break for my brain as this shit is wearing on me with the cycles in and out of depression and determination. I know I can do this it's just one hell of a process.

PADDY! He is so much fun to watch. I called it too, Chandler's eyes showed he was going to lose as he walked out. Paddy's voice just gets me.

Then thankfully Volks beat Lopes who has THE MOST PUNCHABLE FACE IN THE WORLD! Lopes is one of the only people I have ever had such a visceral reaction to. Just the sight of his face on tv causes the extreme desire to punch him. Quite the turnout too with Trump, Elon, half the cabinet, and likely OOOOODLES of secret service crawling around the arena.

Today J has junior bloomsday run which is a mile run at SFCC. I am going flying at Tekoa with the club today and a group will be going cross country and I will be doing my damnedest to follow along. I'll go to watch J run then head down from there. The truck is going to wait until tomorrow when I will have my days back as the boys go back to school.
