Only a cuppa this fine St. Patricks Morn...
What's been planned for you today I wonder.

I spent most of last night watching a Dropkick Murphys concert...
I should have kept it for today.

Me? the youngest holy terror is due and after that ? I dunno..
I better go await my fate.....

Oats at from the land of the fair and wonderful (J/land, of course) but sold by an incoming fine establishment..

Grey Line.. much easier than me trying to hurt my mind at this time.
In ham radio refers to the twilight zone seperating daylight and darkness, which acts as a powerful, temporary enhancement for long-distance (DX) HF communication at dawn and dusk. During this time, the D layer of the ionosphere dissipates, eliminating signal absorption, while the F layer remains ionized, allowing for low-loss, worldwide skip propagation.

  • When It Happens: Occurs roughly 30-60 minutes before and after local sunrise and sunset.
  • Why It Works: The "terminator" (line between day/night) has low atmospheric interference, enabling signals to travel along it with less energy absorption.
  • Best Bands: It is most effective for lower HF frequencies, specifically 160m, 80m, and 40m, though it can affect 30m and 20m as well.
  • Directionality: Signals tend to propagate along the line of the terminator, allowing for strong signals to locations otherwise unreachable.
  • Usage: It is often used for "Super DX" contacts, with many operators using software like WSPR or FT8 to exploit these times.

Prints all doing well.. I ordered a spare PEI plate
You'll be televising yer attempt no doubt. Cashing in on the rights...
That makes more sense than German oats being consumed in Mhor Towers(AKA Bobs Place).

The grey line nothing to do with owt you did then. Also the bewitching hour, be careful Young Bob!

Doing well, you mean they're still going...
Spare plates easy come by.

You could have, but I've no doubt you'll find another to watch.

Now yer down to one, it'll be easier keep up to her as she races off...
You'll have had yer breakfast, so should be ready and raring to go, as for yer fate...

Good day fine people of Tealandia :hello:
Polly has left and returned to the Towers safely.
Just resting after an arduous 4.6 miles ride:rolleyes:
First out since 30th July 2025...
Me? hot and bothered...
Will check if everything is okay at the healed bit (all extremities crossed)
Think I'm dithering to look...

There are a few, I caught the end of the helicopter restoration thing, enjoyed it..
then a couple of regulars stuff,
going to rest all day after that,
new surfaced cycle track pretty amazing, I'll post a photo or two at some point....
Off to check first print..
then have a splash

Owdo, oop there.
She's old enough to go out on her her then.
Well if it's the first time she's been out in nearly nine months, she'll have found it hard. How'd you cope?
Hot n'bothered, has summer arrived in those parts already.
Wan't it be a bit awkward checking with everything crossed...
Have a gander, what harm can be done so long as you don't touch.

You thinking of doing something similar...
Owt interesting show up in your regular stuff.
Tired out watching the tube, how'd you manage that.
Sounds as though it meets yer standards. You reckon it'll last long before it's not a viable daily route.
You have a few to do, again.
Yer taking the youngest swimming?

Hot'n'bothered, I'd need some of that granular smelly stuff for clothes :rolleyes:

Swimming?
Greenpeace would turn up and try to drag me back to much deeper water...
IMG_0813.JPEG

20 / 30 m to the back of me? Motorway...
IMG_0816.JPEG

Have to say, nice tar finish BUT sprayed with yellow paint with positioning of lampposts, hopefully paint is washawayable (whit?)
Think bloke said possible a two year project..
Chuffed I headed out...a start.
Will get the Boss to check the dodgy area later..
If okay, a Fri out at some point although a birthday brekkie for middle child..
Maybe Sat.....

Off to the Toob

First AI box okay but lid hasn't fitted but started the next version with some tweaks so we'll see by lunchtime tomorrow,
I stoopidly could have started it early....

That hot n'bothered! And they say the next two days are set to be warmer still.
You'll not survive, even with smelly granular stuff for yer clothes...

Aye, swimming. Light exercise for yer foot.
They'd never separate you from yer youngs though, surely...
Looks good on the surface, I'll give you that. What lamposts? I see none.
Are the pylons alongside for when you possibly convert Polly to e-assist? Handy wireless charging, almost perpetual motion in motion.
If it's the stuff they use for temporary markings, I'd say 12-18 months, weather and usage dependent.
How long before you're able to cycle to the wheel, under yer own power. It looks as though e-assist, or a tailwind, would suffice to get you home.
The Boss used to checking yer dodgy areas by now no doubt.
Friday, forecast to be fine, so I don't think you'll be going out on yer own.
Birthday Brekkie, you really know how to treat them when you splash out.

Owt interesting to watch planned.

This the same AI that's set to take over the world and everything, and it can't come up with a lid and box print where the two fit together. I'd say we're safe for a while yet from the sound of things.
Would you ever leave it running overnight, whilst you grab forty winks, maybe more.

I have left it overnight when I was doing the 'Cryptex' thingy..
Took 89 hours in total, that thing..
Printed in high specs, yet still looked the same as the normal .4 print..
It was complex though..
I started the box off at just before 8am, I adjusted the height so we'll see how it goes.
If this goes wonky, I'll try one smaller sample with all parts done in one file.
I think the AI bubble will burst as it's too fickle...
but still terrifyingly accurate at times.

I'd go a different way to the Wheel, but return this way..
the way back along the new track will be roughly 3.2 mile from the Wheel, the circular would be just over 10 ml...just ideal for these legs, 'assist' could be a boon for further jaunts..I'll see.
I just go on tangents when on the toob, none of this influencer s*** only factual, like the ones about the canyons, roads, trails in the Mid west to California (not the one nearby).
I'm off to prune....

Eighty-nine hours to print! I take it he were pleased with it. Three sleepless nights, or nights of broken sleep at best.
It were trying to tell you it always did a good job, aside from when it didn't.
This morning, or yesterday. You're not sounding hopeful, you realise that. Almost as though it's a battle of wills between you, the printer and the AI that created the file.
It's not looking too good, but that's only what we're allowed to use. As an entertainment tool at that. It'll get some things "right" just to keep your interest in it.

Yer closer than I thought, walking distance there n'back, with the Twins. Tailwind on the way home from the wheel would be handy then.
What I've watched on there has never been from "influencers", myths, legends and historical mostly. Although I'd say you see more in a week than I'd see in a year. If yer over an hour already yer've beaten my total from last year.
Be careful whilst pruning, no injuries!

Looks can be deceiving, but you get another dry day there'll be calls for a hosepipe ban.
I'll get the tux on and burst into song 'HOSE sorry now?'

Got an hour of snip, snip and snip, lightly...
I prepared the soul food, coffee brewed and sat down and seconds later, the little one and granny appeared...
A GC had been visited.....

Did I not upload a photo of the Cryptex? think I did..
it it had been done with the normal nozzle ,4 instead of .2 it would have taken half the time and as I said above, I don't think it would have mattered, if theses lid don't work out, the partitioned small boxes are well made, I could experiment. One last 'experiment with a smaller dimension box and lid first...
Tailwind? it'll be SE (?), prevailing here is SW)
It'll be 90% flat with a last rise into the estate but when they build on the next fields, it'll be almost a hundred, mind you, I could be a fair age by then.

Lid no use again, cracking made box, I might have a go at making lids, accurate sizes needed..:reading:

Snip snipping plastic as you clean up yer print.
The little one knew you'd food ready, hence her putting in an appearance as soon as you sat down.
Owt bought..

You showed bits, but never said it took that long to print.
I'd have gone for the larger nozzle, if it were only a trial run, moving to a smaller if it worked. Refined it from there. Boxes and lids okay as separate items, just not working together. One last one then what'll tha do.
You might get lucky with the tailwind.
A fair age before they build next to you or they finish the path.

How are the lids failing for you?
