FINALLY I have broken down and gifted myself a new fly rod reel and line setup. I picked up hte Echo TRaverse kit which is a 9' #5 and an all matched set. My feather light rod just couldn't give me the distance on casts that I need so it was well past time to upgrade to a proper serup. Nicely the 10% off coupon more than paid the taxes. Now to make the time to go try it out on the river. #homesteading #fishing #3dprinting #hive #peakd #dailyblog

The fan cowling works badass for the mini pc and keeps it 30F+ cooler than without. Very useful addition to the setup. The carport is ordered for the wintertime truck repairs and will be here next week. The fence line is getting planned to try and finish enclosing the farm. The recent huge coyote has had my mind trundling the options around for a few weeks now and I'm finally dialing in the method to make it happen. #homesteading #3dprinting #hive #peakd #dailyblog

It is a week of rain deluges now as the "atmospheric river" is aimed at the region. I'm fine with it for now but it damned well better turn to snow by the end of the month. We have our passes we need to get well more than our moneys worth out of. The rain is forcing me to push the printer to as much as it can and hte new filament today will mean it will likely be running near nonstop the next few days. #homesteading #winteriscoming #hive #peakd #dailyblog

So this came off the printer yesterday and I am pretty blown away by it. NASA Fabric print is amazing. I have a lot of ideas for use cases for it and am now trying to figure out the best way to attach the sheets together.... I can easily see a shirt made of this, or scaled taller as possible armor on a battle bot... Lots of potential here! #homesteading #3dprinting #fabric #hive #peakd #dailyblog

Elon's remarks on #simulationtheory are VERY convincing... You know you feel like we live in the Matrix, just like many of us do. Notice how it seems like we are in SimCity and suddenly civil unrest is turned up, then natural disasters get ramped up for a bit? The concept of the most interesting simulations being the ones allowed to continue fits this feeling.

Well, it's home again. A bit bittersweet but still better having it home than not. Thankfully the tow driver was super cool and he and his wife made a small trip out of it. I hooked them up with a bunch of potaotes and garlic as thanks which they both were very happy for. Now too come up with the $5k for hte new engine.... #homesteading #hive #peakd #dailyblog

I can say with first hand experience, TWICE in a month, that the best state to be broken down in is Montana. This is a VERY small sample size of 2... BUT hear me out, they were both incredible humans who I could easily tell so just in our interactions let alone our conversations. Long term tow life gives them a very cool perspective and, well it IS Montana. In the land of wide open spaces people tend towards a bit more concern for their fellow human, when there is no one for miles everyone needs to be aware. #lifelessons #relief #goodpeople

Better late than never I guess. I had slacked and missed getting the crocus in the ground on time so now I am forced to pot them up for the winter. They are Fall flowering so I really hope they will do fine in the pots in the warmer studio under the grow light. It will make picking the saffron super easy if we manage to get any.

After the predawn rain stopped yesterday morning the rest of the day was cloudy but not too cold. The farm has EXPLODED in fungus and I saw more types than I could keep count of as I wandered. They love the mosses but the massive patch is by the chicken coop which I have watched expand massively over the years. Articulated prints finally and they are coming out pretty killer. Had to search by license type for ones that can be sold but am finding some good ones. The boys have tons of interest from school already... #homesteading #fungus #3dprinting #hive #peakd #dailyblog
