Don’t give up, Forgot it sold

So yesterday after four tries I finally got the mask portion of my Iron Man helmet to print.  It took some modified settings and some painters tape to ensure the part did not break free from the print surface.  Last night I then printed the “lips” as well, leaving only the small eye sections to go.   I will then turn the project over to Cindy who will have the task of putting all of the parts together and making the final product look pretty.  The project has been a test of determination and patience.  If you lack both of these, 3D printing is probably not a great hobby for you.

I have totally neglected to mention that I sold our Concept 2 rower last week.  I bought the rower from one of our old running club co-workers years ago who has since unfriended me because I didn’t share his feelings about Donald Trump.  I thought Cindy and I could use the rower to supplement our fitness program.  Cindy only tried it once or twice before declaring it was too difficult for her to grip the handle.  I used the rower sparingly during times when running was off the menu due to injury.

Since running is now permanently off the menu you would think the rower would have seen more use but I have found I enjoy the more interactive workout I am getting on Cindy’s Echelon bike to be more fun so the rower has just been collecting dust.  I sold the rower on FB Marketplace with minimal issue.  I don’t quite remember what I paid for the rower years ago but I am pretty sure that I sold it for more than I laid out, a rarity.

The weekend list is not huge but I may throw a pressure washing session in there if time/motivation allows.  I also made an inquiry to someone regarding doing some of the hated tree trimming project.  He has not gotten back to me but I am definitely open to paying someone to trim the trees that require ladder work, if it is not back breaking expensive.
