How #Nostr The filament cabinet is built. I'm quite pleased with it and now can make positively sure that they stay dry and moisture free. I will mostly need the dehumidifier running seasonally since a lot of times are generally not too humid for us. This will also keep me from developing a hoard of filament sincee I only have X amount of space to store it. A small way of keeping myself reigned in so as not to go too overboard. #homesteading #3dp #3dprinting #diy #hive #peakd #dailyblog

Mornin #Nostr Wow, the EOs keep coming as fast as a virgin these days.... He'll have to run dry sooner or later... I had my printer working nonstop all day after I gave myself a much need hair cut. It's rather odd this year just how little snow we have on the ground at the end of January. Hell we've only had about 4 inches in all this winter, WAY less than normal, and none in the forecast. At least the ground is frozen so it's not mud season yet. #homesteading #diy #hive #peakd #dailyblog

I'm hoping we bring back the stockades, public stonings, and the guillotine for "THOSE" people in the world. When those pulling the strings have ZERO expectation of retribution for their evil actions they just feel more empowered and go bigger. Roll a couple of their heads or let a stadium cover them in stones and we'll see how fast the corrupt bullshit continues. #2cents #accountability

Lol. It's rather funny how the ortho has them yard open their mouths for the pictures. We got the consult yesterday morning and now have a better idea of what potentially we are looking at for him in the future. I want more opions though as the sales pitch was strong. Not sure exactly why the tendency of most is to go buy something brand new. I've been finding my tendency is to try and find an old school version of what I want since it is going to be made WAY WAY WAY better and stronger than almost anything new. #homesteading #3dp #3dprinting #hive #peakd #dailyblog

Our 14 year old cat went outside and died in the subfreezing temps while we all slept. He knew where to go to speed it up and we found him in the morning. I was able to dig the hole and we laid him to rest next to Rocky our first dog who died 2 weeks shy of 8 years ago. As I was crying at my computer a little chickadee splatted into the window next to me so I held it for a bit while its brains unscrambled. It flew off easily a bit later. #homesteading #catstr #deadstr #hive #peakd #dailyblog At least #FREEROSS came true.

Such a fucked up day of emotions. Burying our cat while travesties of justice are reversed. I can't help but feel like this is a potential turning point for the country, but then again it could just be appeasing the peasants while the powers that be rake in billions. At least #Ross is pardoned finally and the promise was kept. Let's just hope this term works out WAY better than the last one. Shit needs to change for the better for once.

He finally went. It happened over night last night when Kahlua went out to the 20F cold to make it happen faster. Poor boy is no longer in pain. The tears won't stop right now and I will have to dig a bit later. Last time when Rocky died 8 years ago I was able to dig in the freezing temps, my hope is I am able to today. #cat #death #homesteading #nature #hive #peakd #dailyblog #mourning

Kahlua

What we thought were his dying breaths were NOT. The rattle was there and everything but that wasn

It's amazing how cathartic crying can be. There really is something to the emotional release that lifts the weight of despair, if even for a little bit, but there is lasting effect. Death is your end, regrets are immaterial, so enjoy the fact you have emotions and can act human.

This fucking sucks. Kahlua the #cat is leaving us now as his breathing slows and he nears the light. I was taught a good bit about death and dying when young but it still isn't enough to properly prepare the mind for the process when it happpens. Our cultures are blatantly negligent in these teachings, most likely to keep us with our good little consumer blinders on. He had a good life and we kept him safe, happy, and healthy. #death #dying #life #homesteading #hive #peakd #dailyblog #3dprinting

Our tired old boy spent yesterday on the bed. It's nearing his time to go and we loved on him regularly throughout the day. All he has known is the farm and there is no way I will take him away from here to die scared. He is at home and at some point in the near future will be at peace. #homesteading #feline #cat #hive #diy #3dprinting #peakd #dailyblog

Hospice care just fucking sucks no matter the subject. Our cat is on his last days and the goal is to keep him good and comforable here at home. It's nothing when it's a farm animal that lives out in its pen but when it's one that has been an ever present presence in the hosue for 14 years it hits a lot harder. He and I have been at odds most times but this sucks. I kept the printer going all day as a bit of distraction and have a set of can racks made for the fridge. These are going to do wonders for organization on the middle shelf! The boys were rather stoked on the pennjy whistles I got printed for them and they even sound quite good too! #homesteading #3dprinting #hive #peakd #dailyblog

Pool noodles come in handy for so many random things around the farm. In the absence of "normal" pipe insulation I found this hunk and used it to wrap the heat tape and water line by the coop. I'll find out today if it's enough or if I need more, I may just make a cover for the stub out of foam that would really trap heat. I've been keeping the K1C going almost nonstop and finally shifted over from the Dummies to a can rack for the fridge. I remember these in the 90s as a kid so it was rather nostalgic finding the model files, so I had to get them printing. I know I could probably buy them premade for a couple bucks but I'm learning by making them. #homesteading #3dprinting #diy #hive #peakd #dailyblog

I went to fill the sheep water yesterday morning and found the hose bib was frozen. The line up to it wasn't so thankfully just plopping the little space heater by it for a while did the trick. I have to retape the wire and wrap in foam today so this doesn't happen again this winter. Finally got my endo appointment and the root canal is scheduled. I'm pretty sure I'm one of the few people in the world right now who is actually LOOKING FORWARD to a root canal... The sooner the sooner the abscess can begin to heal.

WTF!? This is cool as shit! Problem still is there is no individual sensor per feather or way to rotate the feathers to properly mimic the flight of a bird. A bird can feel each feather and move it to adjust it's flight path. We can't make that and won't be able to for a while. I feel like it is going to be a hydraulic system rather than servos or steppers/etc, but will need the machine learning/AI to control it all.

Rather funny watching him in his ortho appointment yesterday. All the manipulations to expose the teeth for photos had us laughing pretty hard. He was a good sport about it and they even had ice cream for him at the end. The spacer will keep his teeth spread so the adult tooth will have room to come in in a couple years and not bork his mouth. Dummy 13 kits are getting pumped out as fast as I can and will be sending them with the boys to school. They are free to sell by the licensing so we're figuring $5 is an easy price and one parents won't balk at when their kid brings it home. #3dprinting #homesteading #diy #hive #peakd #dailyblog

Wrestling season has begun with the first practice and the first tournament ins't until March so they have a lot of time now to get dialed in before competing.
