Charged and ready for any interesting locations I might come across today. While driving all over north Alabama.

Starting to resemble a decent station setup. Now I just gotta keep learning the shit to put it to use.

Look, I’m gonna need some folks to get real cool - real quick - with some stuff because yes I am eating frozen custard with my iced/cold coffee for breakfast.

47 has DEFINITELY looked better but I don’t think I make it look as bad as it could be. Maybe I’ll do it some justice before it rolls over to 48 next year.

One of my tasks has been cleaning up a server rack recently. This is how it was when I first saw, after my first quick trip, and after today and a few more hours. It's not done yet but it's so close. One guy worked on the top a little before it got passed to me.

Picked up the new Sticky e-ink device from @seeedstudio.com and am giving @trmnl.com a shot. Just did basic plugins until I have time to look into building my own.

I haven't been very active over here lately - settling in at work has been a bit taxing and there's been more travel than I anticipated but I am not upset by it. I went to a shibari demo this weekend and tied the demo piece today:

This was the base pattern of the tie - black dress form with purple rope tied in a diamond/hishi pattern. It uses munter hitches/nodomes at the top points and half hitches on the side points.

This is an extension of the base pattern of the tie - black dress form with purple rope tied in a diamond/hishi pattern. It uses munter hitches/nodomes at the top points and half hitches on the side points. This extends the diamond/hishi patter down one more level with the implication of a third one.

This is a back view of the tie. Black dress form with purple rope and this shows the way the rope was handled/cleaned up in the back. The main stem between the top near where the scapula would be and the part that would be just above the waist is wrapped with excess rope to form handles as well as the Y branch it makes to go under the dress form.

Not sure I can pull these off but assuming this new position pans out - the first thing I’m doing is eye doctor visit and grabbing these frames online! Might even get a pair of prescription sunglasses.

Working on the free python certification that work wants me to get from the park today. After the rain the temperature is nice, as is the breeze.

My view today while I sit with my e-reading finally making progress on one of the books I’m reading right now. It’s pretty windy today but I love the wind. I can close my eyes and just feel it and it’s the closest thing to a hug I seem to get these days lol

We only got 3 months with him. I love him and think about him still every damned day. Today (3/13) would be his 14th birthday and way more often than I'd care to admit I get overwhelmed on his birthday with thoughts of what he would be at whatever his current age is.

A picture collage containing three pictures of an infant child between 1 week and 2 months old. In one picture he is wearing a crocheted green diaper cover and crocheted green hat to look like he has yoda ears while lying next to a yoda doll.

In another picture he is covered in a blue and white crochet blanket while wearing a blue and white crochet toque.

In the final picture you can see mostly just his face and he has a big smile.

In a happy place with someone who makes me so very happy! We found an honest to gods Photo Booth at a local art place! This is one of the selfies. @emmie.bsky.social is so adorable and beautiful and amazing! She is a bright spot in a world that has gotten much darker lately.

Haven't shared a writing in a while. This one popped up for me today.

I'm just a toy on your shelf
Hoping every day to be your favourite
Hoping you'll take me from the shelf
And make today the day my purchase feels justified
But days come and go and that never happens
I only get taken off the shelf when you need a villain
The days you need a target for your rage
The days your super hero of an ego
Needs to destroy an unnamed bad guy
And for the longest time I thought
Oh, that must be who I am
I must be the bad guy of my own story
I guess it makes sense why you are always destroying me
As time passed though, I realized I don't feel like a villain
I didn't try to take over your world
I never kidnapped YOU and held YOU for ransom
In fact all I wanted was to be your hero
On that day I knew who the villain really was
On that day I no longer wanted to be your toy
Favorite or otherwise...

My next eventual (hopefully) upgrade for the FPV stuff. My current pair are decent for entry level but they are so bulky and make it a bit more difficult to carry everything. These will just have to wait a bit as they are a bit pricey.

Because the kit I bought came with 260 mah batteries instead of 300, my batteries did not fit as well as they should in this case so I took a BT 2.0 cap and added a stem to it and now they fit perfectly.

So, because of who I am as a person, I could not stop with the little white box once I saw this one. So I added the text and the picture of the drone to the top and printed this one last night.

Picture of a black box with a small rectangular cut out on the side. The top of the box has the words “AIR 65“ in purple along with a graphic of a quadcopter.

This is a picture of the same box, but with the top taken off. We can see a purple rim around the upper part of the box that was covered by the top. Inside the box, we see it has a perfectly sized cut out for the quadcopter and the charger along with a spot for eight batteries and a side compartment for miscellaneous tools.

Just a crash clip from earlier. I am sharing because I was able to use "turtle" mode to flip it over and recover. I only have about 4-5 hours in the sim so I'm learning but it's so much fun.
