This 48 hr print of the cornices' sides is turning out fantastic! So smooth!
Two more of these to go.
Then 3 more front sides.
Then 36 leaves.

Progress on the 54 hour-long print job!

Progress! Although, after more than 12 hrs we're about 1/4 way through. So, it's probably on track for the 54 hrs the system estimated.

The new webcam is working!

I started a 55 hour 3d print last night. It will produce 2 of 3 sides of one of 4 columns in our guest bedroom.
Looks like I underestimated the total time for this project. Looks like it will take 110 hours per column (12 leaves will take 36 additional hours). So, I'm looking at 440 hours of printing.

At a minimum.

If anything fails, I have to restart the print.

I should be done by March.

This is the leaf I'll be printing and gluing to the corners. There are 7 variations on this leaf on the design.

Production has begun!
After thinking about it for 8 years, then designing it for another year, I finally started to print the cornices for the columns in our guest bedroom. The panel below will take almost 18 hrs to print. I've got 4 of them to make. And, each column has another 2 sides I'm still configuring. So, I'll be running the printer for well over 100 hours.

Chat GPT just solved a riddle a friend asked me.

After days of tuning the 3D printer I'm finally getting some nice results. These are parts of the cornice I designed for our guest bedroom bookcase.

A little rock on the highway just south of San Francisco.

I just hung a piece I did in college. It only took 3 decades to get framed!

We don't see this too often on the Golden Gate:

Well, I just burned my whole Saturday getting an IP camera configured to stare at my 3D printer. At least I succeeded.

Sounds too geeky?

Well, I'm planning on producing 4 awesome capitals for columns in our guest bedroom. It will easily take 40 to 80 hours to print.

If I have to walk back and forth to the printer closet to check on the status (they do fail party way), I'll be walking continually for weeks. Hopefully this keeps that from happening!

What's even more annoying is that San Francisco is on a downward trend when I get it.

A neighbor's video of the hail hitting San Francisco this afternoon.

This rarely happens in San Francisco!
We just don't get thunderstorms, let alone hit the TransAmerica building.

5pm PST is going to be a shitshow on the California coast.

Keep your eyes on these R's to see if they vote "Present". That would mean McCarthy has a plan to force the hand of the remaining hold-outs to vote for him or allow Jeffreys to win.

This is a bit confusing.
351 members-elect were counted today.
435 were counted yesterday.

If the quorum was defined by merely counting more than 218, then maybe they just stopped voting.

Otherwise only 175 are required to win the vote for the Speaker of the House.
