Changing

Here is the gallery.

This is Juni and Brodie. What a riot they were all day long. They both had a fabulous time. It is wonderful when they make new friends. It is amazing to watch. 

It is back to raining.

My 3d printer is still making things. I am busy duplicating things for a friend in a stronger filament. They say PLA is what you want to use indoors and PETG is what you want if you want to use outdoors or you need strength but PETG is more difficult to print. It has to be dried sufficiently (I have a special dryer) and all the settings are different but so far I have it dialed in. This 3d printer initially is a money pit as you need so much. But we are getting there. Every craft seems to be a money pit. LOL I now have my eye on a Hanboost Creators version or 3d modelling version. I want the one with polishing sanding etc in these tiny joints. I already told Nathan that is what I want for my birthday. Till then, the son bought me hand tools and I am trying to figure that out. I am getting better removing supports etc I made a watch stand with a charger for Dennis and I had to shave the charging part down to fit the charging component. It now fits. Every bit is a learning experience and I am halfway through a class on Udemy. 

I made a chicken sandwich for dinner and the dogs crowded around me and sniffed the air around me. It makes you feel guilty, doesn't it?

It is raining. It is cold but not cold enough for snow - just damp where I put sweatshirts on and when my sweatshirt goes on, I warm blankets for dogs. Even though the temp is up in the house - it feels cold when it is damp. It is just January so what a whiner I am. 

The dogs played a game of run indoors. It is still too icy to do it outside and they probably appreciate it more indoors at this time of the year. I may do a scavenger game for them tomorrow. It is important to keep their minds busy.

Yes but I will still be there and you should too as there are so many sets you haven't done.
