Icy and Rainy

Here is a mini gallery.

I am still having fits with this service so bear with me. I published mine today and it vanished so I can't duplicate. I was stupid enough not to copy. Won't make that mistake again but let's say it all again in a different way, I suppose.

Coco the Maltese has been quite the ambassador. Stryker who usually plays with everyone decided after the morning breakfast run - not today so Alfie, Malla, Coco and Pepper before she departed had a great fun play session throughout the day. 

We have ice out back - not on the decks but around the pool. We are debating what to do about it as it is lightly raining as I type.

Dennis and I moved my 3d printer after I did filament clips and a watch charger. It is now printing again after a necessary calibration that lasts 26 minutes. It seems each time you move, you must do a full calibration. I am holding my breath to see if it will print a job I just sent to it - more filament clips - necessary so they hold the ends in place so it doesn't unravel. How do I do that? A spool fell apart and the filament unravelled. The things you learn.

Tonight the dogs all got a greenie. They were delighted, as you can imagine. 

Dennis was busy doing all dog beds and crate pads. Our washing machine has been busy. He washed the floors and I didn't say a word but thought to myself, you must be crazy as its supposed to get down to mud and then he will need to wash them tomorrow but I zip my lip. 

I am about to pray this blog published and then the tv goes on so I get dog snuggles in. I try to stay away from the news.

Darlah, you’re very ambitious with your 3D printer. I’ve been hearing so much about them lately from Drs making lungs for humans to someone building furniture for a child size doll house. Wow! And you’re doing a phone/watch charger?! That’s amazing!

I am determined to learn. I am learning but want to know the machine thoroughly, The more issues that come up, the more irritating, the more I learn. It is quite the experience.

Atousa: I have not finished Landman. I have been dealing with the 3d printer. What are you watching?
