04-01-2025 -- Happy Birthday Big Brother

Howdy all. My brother Bill runs into birthday 73 today. Looking good.

It is a lovely looking day outside. Lots of sunshine, low winds, and a balmy 35 freedom degrees outside. Fell to 30 overnight and won’t get to 40 today. And this will be the best day for a few. Tomorrow/Thursday brings 45 mph winds and thunder storms. Yep.

I’m still trying to get my toy rooms organized. I’ve purchased a lot of things, and really need to get them in their places. I work on the shelves each morning before coming downstairs for the day. And then tell myself I’ll go back up and do more. That part hasn’t been happening!!

I did get a shelf dedicated to just the various Acrylic sheets for my laser engravers.

Lots of single colored sheets and some “dual” colored ones. Those you engrave through the first color, and the second shows.

I’ve also gathered up all of the exhaust / vent connectors and hoses, and put them in a single, very large, clear container. I put that, and other seldom used items, on the top shelves that I can barely reach. I do have an old fart’s step stool coming that will make it easier to access that shelf level.

I also gathered most of my tools in the laser room, and put them in a bin that is in the floor level shelf. That has things like hot glue gun, drills, Dremil tools and such, in it. I can pull the bin out easily and find what is needed.

Next is to get the “natural” wood sheets in some sort of organization. Possible all 1/16” and 1/8” on a shelf, and 1/4” on another. Then each of those shelves separated by type of wood and size (small vs large sheets).

I did get 2 copies of the desiccant holders printed, that will be used with the new AMS Pro 2 four color units, for the X1 Carbon 3D printer. The AMS units arrived yesterday, and have joined other unboxed things on that room’s floor. Ugh!

They look pretty good. Just need to fill them with desiccant and stuff a thermometer/hygrometer in those units with the big round holes, and then setup the new AMS units. (“Just” as in hopefully someday soon!)

I think I would prefer to take a page from Kitty.

And take a nap to Enjoy Life
