I tried paragliding yesterday but the gust front hit and kept me on the ground. I was glad as watching Chris be the air-dummy it didn't look that enjoyable. Live to fly another day. So instead I went home and tried my new fly rod setup at the river and ended up landing 3 small rainbow trout and hooked a 4th in half an hour. They al lgot let go in hopes they eat well and get nice and big. #homesteading #paragliding #flyfishing #fishing #hive #peakd #dailyblog
OMG I love my new fly rod. Walked the 1/4 mile to the river and my first outing with the gear was superb! All little rainbow trout, 6-8", so got let go to get bigger. I cast about 20 - 25 times and hooked 4 fish and landed 3 in 30 minutes. SOOOO HAPPY! #flyfishing #fishing #myprecious #joy
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
