Say Hi to Major Tom, a real space oddity. The idea for a square Big Daddy hit me and I had to see it to completion. The fins and decals are the real deal from kits. Made the rest out of foam board. Ply centering squares hold the motor mount in place. #rocketry #modelrockets #rockets
For this year's gingerbread I made... Curiosity!

Descendants of executed Dakota 38+2 ride to Mankato to honor ancestors. That purpose is to maintain the memory of what happened during and after the U.S.-Dakota War of 1862. It started when Indian agents withheld food and supplies guaranteed under treaty with the Dakota people, part of an effort to force the Dakota off their land. Hundreds died in the war that lasted a little over a month: https://www.mprnews.org/story/2022/12/23/descendants-of-executed-dakota-382-ride-to-mankato-to-honor-ancestors
Current winter build moving along nicely. Grabbed the new Estes Super Orbital Transport when it was released. Need to finish up the tubes for the motor pods but getting close to paint. This kit is amazing. #modelrockets #rocketry #rockets
Here's the current wind map from http://hint.fm/wind/. Should be fun to watch over the next few days
Today's laser cutter project. Ravens have a special place in our hearts. Our late son (brain cancer) had a special affinity with ravens. They would often approach him and seem to want to communicate with him.

So I understand that the bird site has started blocking links to common/known Mastodon instances, and that doesn't seem like free speech to me. So... I did a thing.
If you go to https://spacekaren.sucks it is now a URL shortener that blocks the twitter user agent. That means you can share that link that will redirect to your Mastodon account without the pouty baby stopping you. If you find this helpful can you boost so others can find it? #TwitterMigration #Mastodon #Musk #introduction
A mob of red deer stags in Richmond Park, they were on the edge of the woods and unless you stopped to look from most angles they were perfectly hidden, I crouched down to take the shot, that's when I could see how many there were (shot with a long lens it looks like I was a lot closer than I actually was). #RichmondPark #RedDeer #Stags #RedStags #WildLifePhotography #Nature #Photography #AltText
