It is in the mid 60F’s and our back patio is a glorious place to be

The Lyrics to this Zac Brown song really hit me with the feels this morning:

“See the love in my woman's eyes
Feel the touch of a precious child
And know a mother's love”

Happy to say I’ve experienced all these things. So blessed.

Somehow over Easter dinner the subject of the Skylander games came up. As soon as we finished eating the 13 and 19 y/o ran upstairs to find all the old characters and relive their childhood. We spent a fortune buying the characters in the day 😂

I keep expecting to see a remake pop up one day.🕹️

Our table is set for the Easter celebration. We’ll have a wide range of beliefs at the table which makes coming up with the prayer (my task) a bit of a challenge. But it is worth the effort.🙏

The Twitter API changes are really biting this week. The posts of several smart people I followed using Feedbin are no longer available. Took me a couple of days to realize it. I don’t blame Twitter. These folks should have an rss feed by now.

🤔 Wondering why my emoji vocabulary count is about 5 but some people know like 100…

Banzai Bill with corrected outer shell

Thanks to @KimberlyHirsh I found a new coffee bean I love: Counter Culture Big Trouble.

Love the wavy clouds in the sky

👍 Wrapping up the Banzai Bill 3D print

My first print of the Bullet Bill/Banzai Bill model. Turned out great with nice tolerances except I choose random seam for the outer shell which looks like a mess. I’ll redo it.

OK, I lied. Sort of. I just decided to go ahead and order the 3.9 upgrade kit. Supposed to ship in June so that is later this year, right?

Just watched Prusa’s promo video for the MK4 and I’m even more excited about it. Definitely going to upgrade at some point this year.

This announcement from Prusa is fantastic. My MK3S+ works great but at some point I’ll probably do the 3.5 of 3.9 upgrade option:

Original Prusa MK4 is here: Always perfect first layer, high-speed printing with Input shaper, 32-bit platform, Nextruder, MMU3. SHIPPING NOW! - Original Prusa 3D Printers blog.prusa3d.com/announcing-or

😥 Just found out our 4 year old fridge needs a repair so expensive it doesn’t make sense to do.

🎮 Tinkering with my new Steam Deck.

YouTube whine

I’ve generally liked YouTube but for the first time ever I sent them feedback. The app on my iPad has been taken over by shorts and movies in spite of me clicking the “no interest” button. They reappear every few minutes. I heard their business isn’t good so I guess they’re desperate. Takes a lot of scrolling to get past that crap to what I might want to watch so I’ll use it less.

I’m curious what whole bean coffee folks are fond of as an “every day” cup. Mainly beans available in the US but more broadly is fine too! Interested in trying something new. We lean a bit toward dark roast. ☕️

👏 Monday’s aren’t always bad. Like this morning I found out, to my surprise, I won’t need Mohs surgery.

Now that I’ve ordered a Steam Deck I’m going to have to build a game wishlist. I’ve been a console gamer for the most part so I have some work to do. Suggestions welcome (not into battle royale or multi-player games, tend to play solo).
