We finally got a dry-ish day yesterday after the last bits of the system moved off to the east. A lot of the snow has melted off around the farm and the rest will be gone in the next days as it is to be warm and raining.

I headed to North 40 and The Fly Shop for the 10am class. There was a full table of us and Chip was the class teacher, his beard gives away his id.

The vise was SUPER nice and really easy to get the hook in and out of and it held really tight. Half of us had tying experience while the other half had little to none.

The first one of Pat's Rubber Legs I tied came out really cool. It is meant to imitate a large stonefly nymph, which I have seen oodles of in our creek over the years.

We tied a second with the second color of chenille and the legs were all the left overs from the first fly and they were the perfect length without cutting.

I have my new Saturday morning class to go to, Kris of Chip will be teaching each week and new flies tied at each. I took along all my bobbin holders I had printed and gave one to everyone in the class to try out. They were all stoked and Kris got a shot of the holders for the shop's facebook page. I am planning to have bobbin holders to give for each class, maybe give Chip a bag of them to hand out to people.

I got home then tried messing with the setting on the bobbin print and managed to get a SUPER nice one that took WAY less time.

I also went on the hunt for my grandmother's seed beads, glass seed beads, that I will be using in the fly tying for the heads of nymphs.

It appears we now have FIBER available!?!?! The workers were stringing the line down our road and left us a loop for connection on our transformer pole. Not sure now between our current Starlink and the Fiber....

Dry for the day but still super humid.

Which the mushrooms still love despite the near freezing temps. They still pop their little selves up all around the farm.

Ambition level, ZERO! I looked at the truck engine, but did nothing on it. I'm finding it hard to work up the energy to keep at the engine removal. I'm not far just been dreading crawling my ass under the truck again.

So instead I got the overhead lights setup better by adding another and rotating the way they hang.

Having figured out the setting for the bobbin holders I got a full plate of 10 running.

Really happy with them now, they are smooth, hardly any shit left from the support, and the tube is nice and smooth requiring no touch up after.

The moon was nice and full and actually visible last night.

The second half of the tying bible arrived.

These books are gorgeous and super well made. Equal in length, size, and quality.

The printer borked overnight so is back finishing the next set of 10 bobbins. I'll swap out the filament to print out some pocket chess sets as well as many more bobbin holders, Seahawks play this morning, more cleaning in the house, hopefully work on the truck, I want to work on the shooting range now I have the range finder, and who knows what else I will end up having to do...
