01-25-2025 -- It is freezing warm outside.

Howdy All, A catchy title for sure. For the last week, the temperatures outside have been from like -14 to low 20s Freedom degrees. For you Celsius buffs, that is about -25 to -4 Cretin degrees.

Did I mention that the other day my lawn service/snow plow dude (Weaver’s Lawn Service - Bob Weaver) said this area was at 116 inches of snow for the season. That is just under 10 Freedom feet or 295 cm (cretin measurements).

Hey, I’m just joking about the “cretin” comments. I can’t remember how to spell farentheit nor celcius most of the time. I’m the cretin in this case. Yes, I could use spelt chuck, but it ain’t none too smart neither.

I guess I should open the garage door so it could warm up in there.

Yesterday, I added another remote thermometer to the mix. Put it under sink, between cold water pipe and outside wall. Well, even with the cabinet doors shut, it was around 55 there, when the temps in the house were around 65. So, I don’t think I’ll be wasting time/energy remembering to open those doors, or leaving the faucet above dripping. It may be cooler under there, but freezing is not likely. Shoot, the faucet in the garage has never frozen and it is always colder in there.

The last few days I’ve been trying to do a specific print on my 3D printers, and failing over and over. If it were to complete, it would take around 16-18 hours at the size I am trying to do. And parts of the base of the object — imagine like the four feet of a dog — keep sliding when the body is being printed above (at like the 4 hour mark). I’ve done all of the normal “fixes” like super cleaning the bed plate, adding what they call rafting to the parts touching the bed. Rafting is like a lily pad under a frog. And adding more support tree structures to anchor the body to the bed. None of those things are working. Now I need to try the glue stick method (or hair spray). The idea is to spread that on the bed, and the filament has no choice but to stick. And when it is done, you have to clean it off the bed. Ick.

I’d do that immediately, but I can’t find where I’ve hidden the glue sticks I purchased for this purpose. And I don’t have hairspray. I ordered some more glue sticks that may arrive today. And I’m certain that when I go to put them away, I’ll find the prior purchases… They call this the ADHD tax. I pay a lot in ADHD taxes.!

Anyhow, I’m still kicking, and so is Kitty. Even in the cold weather she knows how to Enjoy Life.
