Early surprise, closing, last minute live

I was sort of bummed out that my four day weekend was still not going to include activities like pickleball or riding since my wound was in the final stages of closing. I did get lucky and had my new H2S printer show up early on Sunday. It was originally not going to arrive until Tuesday. I also got lucky earlier in the day when someone came and picked up my X1C. He drove all the way from Tampa to get it which was hard to believe. I didn’t get my asking price but close enough that I didn’t feel bad about the sale at all.

This printer was packaged immaculately, just like my A1 and P1S was. From the first second the printer oozed a sense of quality. Setting it up takes time as there a couple dozen screws to remove as well as large amounts of film/foam that are all over the place to ensure the printer arrives in perfect working condition. I would say in total I spent 45 minutes going from unboxing to the initial power calibration.

I did a couple speed benchy prints to verify everything was good, it was. Despite being huge, dwarfing the P1S that sits next to it, the printer is extremely quiet while being lightning fast. I simply love it. I look forward to making large and complex models in the future with it.

As I mentioned the wound on my head is basically closed at this point. It looks presentable enough that I am no longer walking around with a bandage on my head. I am still keeping it covered with anti-bacterial ointment just to be safe. One unfortunate side effect because of where the surgery is located is that I have a patch on my scalp where hair used to be that is no longer there. The surgeon said it should grow back but the process could take several months, yay. It could be a reason to keep the sides of my hair high and tight until regrowth occurs.

Yesterday I was dialed into the office on my day off as there is a yearly process that has to be completed this week. I have been working through various issues that needed to be addressed. I think we are almost in the clear at this point which is a good thing.

Last night I got the urge to live stream despite not riding a wheel for a single second since the last stream. I had a decent two hour stream where one of the primary subjects was drama in the EUC community which can be generated from irresponsible riders, odd decisions by manufacturers or created by content creators looking to maximize eyeballs by posting titles/thumbnails that are salacious in nature. I am not a big fan of EUC drama just like I dislike drama in my normal existence.

I have a quick two day work week with a lot to accomplish in that time.
