I am really enjoying JetClock. It has a great Logbook feature to track all the aircraft that fly in/through my area.

This is a pretty good 3D print of Rocky from Project Hail Mary.

Who knew Gas Station Hotdogs were a thing in Poland! They are pretty good as well.

A translated label for cheese available at breakfast this morning at our hotel... Not sure anyone tried this...

The Polish mountains are out this morning. These are the Tatra mountains near Zakopane.

Greetings from Krakow, Poland where I am on pilgrimage with a group from our parish. We wrapped up our travel yesterday and begin exploring today. We will visit The Wieliczka Salt Mine this morning and explore old town Krakow this afternoon. #BlessedBeyondMeasure

It seems like everyone has forgotten that "Show Desktop" already exists on Windows 11.

Lance - I don't believe that last one of them in the Front Porch is genuine.

Another perfect wallpaper option from the #ArtemisII mission. This is right before splashdown in the Pacific Ocean on April 10th, 2026. You can find lots of highres images on the NASA Artemis II Multimedia page at www.nasa.gov/artemis-ii-m...

How cool for the crew of the USS JOHN MURTHA to experience this recovery and be part of manned spaceflight history. #ArtemisII

Great sequence of chutes and now #ArtemisII is under the mains.

#ArtemisII about 15 mins from splashdown in the Pacific Ocean with the U. S. Navy waiting for them.

So worth gabbing these higher res images from Artemis II's flyby of the Moon. By grabbing the ones that are 5120 pixels wide, they fit on my widescreen monitor so much better!

010

Richard Hay @winobs.com · 07/04/2026

Oh my - high resolution and multiple size options of the images obtained by the Artemis II crew are available on the NASA Johnson Flickr page at www.flickr.com/photos/nasa2... These are much better for wallpapers, etc. since they are full resolution versions. #ArtemisII

Richard Hay @winobs.com · 07/04/2026

For now, I have settled on this one as it fits my 5120 x 1440 desktop best.

Richard Hay @winobs.com · 07/04/2026

I like this one as well...

Oh yeah - Earthset on my widescreen desktop...

Just saw a glimpse of Earthrise from #ArtemisII as the crew were scrolling through images on their PCD's. Artemis II Commander Reid Wiseman was pretty excited based on the fist pump I saw him do as he viewed the image with the crew.

I have had my Bambu Lab P2S 3D Printer since Monday afternoon. It has accumulated over 70 print hours in a little more than four days. It is still melting and pumping filament as I type this and will get its first real break over the weekend as I will be away from home for a big chunk of time.

SpaceX Falcon Heavy. Much bigger than the others since they were scaled down to print on the Bambu Lab A1 Mini. This is off my new Bambu Lab P2S. Printing it's launch tower now - will take 8 hours. Definitely burning in the new printer. 40 hours plus in 2 days. Smooth as Silk (pun intended).

OK, finally printed a fun bit. I only had the brighter gold colored PLA but it still works well. #Replicator

Richard Hay @winobs.com · 24/02/2026

First 24 hours with the Bambu Lab P2S and I have had it in print jobs for 19 of those hours! All practical prints: - Interior Air Flow Deflector (apparently a known thing on the P2S) - Poop Bucket - AMS2 Pro Riser - P2S Tools Holder So far really clean prints. Very, very pleased with the upgrade.

Richard Hay @winobs.com · 24/02/2026

The timelapse camera is so much better and smoother on the Bambu Lab P2S than what the A1 Mini had which is understandable. Here is a 42 second timelapse of my Poop Bucket being printed. This was a nearly four hour print in real time.

Richard Hay @winobs.com · 23/02/2026

First print on the Bambu Lab P2S - a Benchy of course. Great quality print too. Here is a timelapse of the print.

Richard Hay @winobs.com · 23/02/2026

I blame @scott.hanselman.com for this little passion of mine. Upgraded my Babu Lab A1 Mini to the Bambu Lab P2S. As Scott commented when I got the A1 Mini - great starter printer for 3D printing.

Last night, I watched "Miracle" about the 1980 Men's Hockey team winning gold at the Olympics. Thus, the causal effect of this year's olympic team winning gold for the first time since the 1980 team. You are welcome...

Just for fun, I recently 3D printed SLS.

My final night out here in the Arizona desert and have three new images which I captured. Whirlpool Galaxy Omega Centauri Rosette Nebula

020

Richard Hay @winobs.com · 15/01/2026

My latest observations here near Tucson. Jellyfish Nebula Soul Nebula Pacman Nebula Goldeneye Cluster The first two are quite dim and it took 3-4 hours to get this much data. Longer observations would continue to enhance the visuals. Still, very happy to have the chance for these long captures.

One early morning observation from Tucson. 50 minutes exposure for Bode's Galaxy (M81) and the Cigar Galaxy (M82).

Richard Hay @winobs.com · 13/01/2026

Three of my observations last night here outside of Tucson as we begin the Vatican Observatory Foundation's week-long workshop Astronomy for Catholics and Ministers in Education (ACME). Andromeda Galaxy (M31), Pleiades (M45), and Orion's Nebula (M42). All stacked from 40 mins worth of exposures.

Feast of Saint John, Apostle and Evangelist #LOTH #MorningPrayer #BreviaryViews

O God,

Who through the blessed Apostle John have unlocked for us the secrets of your Word, grant, we pray, that we may grasp with proper understanding what he has so marvelously brought to our ears.

Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever.

Amen.

A Liturgy of the Hours prayer book open.
