This holiday can be a difficult one for some people; please be kind to yourself and others. Give folks some space; they may be dealing with more than we can see.

It is 3:16 PM Eastern and I'm glad you are alive.

Thank you for being here with me today.

I know it's not always easy and I appreciate you.

Safe and easy drive; only a few bits of gnarly traffic to deal with.

I appreciate all the kind words.

Heading to Atlanta; if something happens on the road and this is my last message I hope you will remember that I care about you and I hope you are doing well.

In all seriousness I've been debating whether or not I feel up to grinding my own mirrors or buying them and building everything else.

This is one of several reasons I was so delighted to be gifted that extremely flat stone; it's a key tool for that sort of work.

Anyone else watch this episode of the show @fcain does and wonder if you could be his "handy friend" who gets to build a telescope with him?

I mean I know it's not me but I'd totally be down for that.

Here's a better view of the damage; the blue you can see is not supposed to show through there

Fixing a small JBL Bluetooth speaker for my brother before I head down to Atlanta for the holiday. It's easier for me to desolder and resolder these speakers than try to mess with the connectors buried inside.

Someone, and I don't want to say who, can't hold still for a picture and needs approximately ALL the belly rubs:

Back in the shop with my dad:

Just paid the last of my kidney stone related bills; all told a little under $800.

Such a relief to have that over with.

I appreciate all the well wishes; it really meant a lot.

My first time blocking someone here.

Be a dick on your own timeline; not mine.

Trans Rights are Human Rights.

Please remember to be kind to our trans friends and family.

They're enduring so much these days; they need our help.

Thanks for being here with me.

Here's the video: https://twitter.com/jhart06/status/1593092886408884224?t=L0eQFJMfVz2tLBT8TiUBiA&s=19

I don't have a copy to post here yet.

Helped my friend with a plasma pistol cosplay prop with an Arduino nano controlling some APA102 LEDs in two strips of 10 side by side.

It animates a slow-to-fast forward sweep along a color axis from blue green to a more teal with increasing brightness until it reaches full brightness and speed which is flashes through 10 times before flashing all the LEDs as if it fired.

I'll post a video of the animation later; not sure how well that description works.
