Prints, Antennas, Utd Fail, Moving Wood Rounds, Mods, Runes

Woke yesterday morning to the funnel finished that I printed for our hot tub chems. It's a bit thick and heavy but stout and solid is good. I printed the second one and they are nicely in the chem supply ready to use.

Mid morning I got the print going for the 4 inch hose adapter for the rear fan so I can port the fumes outside when I want to do ABS or ASA prints. It fits pretty nicely but I need to add mounting holes for the attachments tabs.

Once that print was done I got the next rolling. I ended up killing the 2 plate holders since I had them on their side and needed them vertical.

As I was pondering antenna designs I realized that I have a boat load of old antennas from various wifi boxes I've stripped over the years floating around and I went and dug into them for parts. I yanked apart one and tossed it on the VNA but it wasn't able to push the GHZ needed to test it so I knew it was at least a 2.4 ghz antenna. Nicely it had coax that I was able to cut and strip to get leads I can use. The SMA connectors are damned small.

Lol, Man Utd are just terrible. It's beyond laughable now and veering hard into sad territory.

Arsenal fully embarrassed them as seems to be their m/o this season. I'd say they are gluttons for punishment but at this point they look more like beaten puppies.

After the shit show of a game I headed out to move the wood rounds. I had to drop the fence keeping tom close so I could get the truck backed to the rounds.

He didn't go far, just to the grain in the garden and was back inside at dark. I lifted the fence onto the t-post then rolled the rounds under it and piled them all into the bed of the truck.

Backed up into the yard and kicked them all out. Damn things are heavy and my back felt the effort. They are ready to be split but likely will have to be done by me as the rounds are a bit hard for the boys to do.

Printed out the case for the calibration plugs for the VNA and it came out perfect. The Sharpie worked nicely to color the text.

I found a nifty mod for the rear fan in the printer, a cowl that helps the air flow. It replaced the wire guard exactly.

I have another piece that goes behind the fan but I am not sure if it will push the tip[ of the cowl out to far it might hit the deck...

Found the protection rune symbol and printed one out that is now an ornament on the tree. I will be printing one of these out full plate size and white so I can color it.

This high pressure system is annoying as we are only getting gray days and no winds. I keep watching for any possible flying days but nothing is opening up anywhere nearby. Got out to soak for a while but the skin is still being shitty.

This morning I'll get the boys to school then today I go in for my Dr. appointment and will get meds reupped and labs done, I'm keeping the printer busy, will start splitting wood, work on antenna builds, and I need to get the skis all tuned soon and my bindings changed out.
