I’m roughly basing the mechanism on an aermotor. Still a work in progress.

Here’s something different. Over the fall and winter I’ve been busy designing, printing and building a working mini windmill for my yard. I got it operational this week. Well kinda. I’m working on v2 of the motor at top.

Today in our 2x weekly 15 min mini-course we covered “help us help you”

Howdy.

I dunno man. I don’t have a degree but everyone in my field does. I see analogs to “running in traffic” every stinking day. It’s exhausting.

It wasn’t my best decision. But why are you up at this hour?!

I don’t know that I appreciate the Portland like weather.

This is annoying as hell. I had been thinking it was some mess our IT had caused.

Perhaps the meds can increase your creativity? Psychedelic holiday cards?

Surely at great expense for my parents on a welder’s wages, we got an Apple //c from Babbage’s in the local mall. The wax transfer printer was awful. Montezuma’s Revenge, Flight Simulator, word processor (not WYSIWYG), Print Shop, and some precursor to Mac Draw. And of course LOGO

It’s so frustrating when this kind of thing comes up.
Me: here is this finely crafted, logical and understandable system
Them: thanks, please make it as dumb as a box of rocks

I mean, look at the name of it.

But what does it DO?

And pies and rolls

Emergency run to store for fuel (lump charcoal and mesquite chunks)

Out of the brine, fire lit in the pit, just waiting for temp

Of course. Lighting the fire in about an hour. 22# of prime turkey from Champoeg

First, gingerbread pancakes
