Adjustable laptop stand for my wife. I think mahogany, but am not sure. Random boards FTW! #woodworking

That is the thing about being an *adult*. You can buy whatever toys you want, and nobody can stop you. So I am completing all of my childhood dreams slowly. Hah. #AdultHood

Missed this last month! A new JWST image shows a patch of sky around the North Ecliptic Pole covering about 2% of the area of a full Moon.

Bright spots with diffraction spikes are stars; everything else is a galaxy.

The new Super Orbital Transport has to be one of the most fun kits I've ever built. Really fun, every step of the way. I took two small creative liberties with it; added a tailcone on the MMT for a bit more finished look and went with pearl white paint (pics don't do it justice). Looking forward to having some soft green grass on our local field to give this its first flight.

Suppose it's a good day to go fire up the chainsaw at 7:35am and be a great neighbor, right? 🤪

Good morning. It's warm and will be for a while. Expecting the ice to disappear.

Fortuna Waterfall, Costa Rica. Yeah, somewhat touristy place, but still beautiful.

Big Daddy family photo. Ready for any field, any impulse I'm allowed to fly.

Sugar maple leaf landed upright in the snow and was spun by the wind.

Say Hi to Major Tom, a real space oddity. The idea for a square Big Daddy hit me and I had to see it to completion. The fins and decals are the real deal from kits. Made the rest out of foam board. Ply centering squares hold the motor mount in place.

Descendants of executed Dakota 38+2 ride to Mankato to honor ancestors. That purpose is to maintain the memory of what happened during and after the U.S.-Dakota War of 1862. It started when Indian agents withheld food and supplies guaranteed under treaty with the Dakota people, part of an effort to force the Dakota off their land. Hundreds died in the war that lasted a little over a month: mprnews.org/story/2022/12/23/d

Either the app for my furnace doesn't understand negative numbers or the earth is melting.

Happy Festivus!

First feat of strength today will be to survive -10F and 30mph winds plowing snow.

Current winter build moving along nicely. Grabbed the new Estes Super Orbital Transport when it was released. Need to finish up the tubes for the motor pods but getting close to paint. This kit is amazing.
