Working as planned, Not working as planned

The past two days we have had prolonged rain deluges that have dropped probably 5-6 inches of rain on the property.  This is exactly the scenario which would flood out the chicken yard and other spots around the property in the past.  I was pleased to see as I surveyed the standing water that all the spots where we added fill and sod there were no puddles to be seen.  It feels great to not have quite the same degree of swampland as I had become accustomed to over the last 15-20 years.

I have been frustrated with my 3D print farm.  With 8 printers in the room it seems like there is never a period of time where there isn’t something wrong with at least one of them.  Right now I have four with one issue or another.  It truly has become a part time job as many nights after tending to the chickens my next stop is the hobby room to keep the production line flowing, fix printers, or grab parts for orders.

On top of all of this I have my brand new V11 that sounds like it has a contaminated bearing sitting in there like a doorstop after riding in the rain.  Not knowing how long that will take to resolve is adding to my angina.
