Revealed, DIY, Plus 10, Years in the making

Last night when I was walking back from the chicken area I heard rustling in the nearby palm tree.  I looked up and see a squirrel looking down at me as he is munching on the remains of the ear of corn he clearly stole.  You may recall last week I mentioned how the corn cobs I was putting out for the chickens every morning were gone when I got home at night.  I was unclear if it was a squirrel or a bird. The answer is now crystal clear.  I don’t mind that they grab it, I just hope the chickens get their crack at the corn before it is transported elsewhere during the day.

I have two conventional cartridges for my Nintendo switch, they are tiny.  I have had the boxes for the games on my dresser as a dumb way to make sure I don’t lose them.  Last night I completed a 3D print to address that.  It’s a little cube that looks like the famous ? boxes from Mario games.  Inside there are slots for both cartridges and the micro sd cards that can be used for additional storage. Even though I have been 3D printing for years now I still get satisfaction for making something cool and useful, out of thin air.

This morning was around 10 degrees warmer than the previous two mornings, still cold by Florida standards but at least not freeze your hose cold.  The warming trend will continue with the thermometer hitting 80 by Thursday.  If I could just find a place that was 55 in the morning and 75 in the afternoon year round it would truly be the ultimate paradise for me.

Yesterday the new office officially opened to the public.  There were a lot of little bugs as expected but no show stoppers.  The entire project has been several years in the making, to have it finally open is a good feeling.  The majority of my focus the last several months has been getting everything lined up for this to happen. It has been the biggest building project I have ever been involved in and hopefully the last time I have to be involved with something of this scale before I retire in 8 years.
