Well, they're in place and initial impressions are favorable. They're quiet and with bearings spin nicely. Did some brutal shifting on a quick shakedown and all the teeth are still there.

I think I'm going to just start surprise gifting my neighbors electric mowers, leaf blowers, trimmers, etc....

mixes with . We'll see how these derailleur pulleys work on my computer bike with old Shimano 8-speed RSX. Going from bushings to bearings should be a nice change too. If these hold up, it'll be nice to do this for our MTBs that routinely eat pulleys up. @3dprinting

My kid, the rocket transporter :) He helped fetch the 5" Big Daddy while I was prepping another.

Soldered up some Eggtimer Apogees to dabble in electronic deployment and I needed cheap altimeters. Fun builds. But, needed ways to mount them. Made and printed a little nosecone mount to start.

Lovely morning to pedal the 17 mostly rural miles to work.

My son Ciaran is autistic. I did not expect him to remember Mothers Day. He did. Moreover, while this may not look like much, he looked up how to say Happy Mother’s Day in Welsh, because he knows it’s special to me, and tried to draw the Welsh flag. I’m genuinely touched that he gave me such a thoughtful gift. ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿❤️

If there's rain on the way, is it acceptable to mow your lawn at 8am? Asking for a friend.

Good morning! Today we have some crepes with peach maple topping. Nothing more than some of our syrup and our peaches cooked until thick. And, venison breakfast sausage to round it out.

If you’re facing a daunting task, break it up into a large number of smaller daunting tasks so you can more easily become overwhelmed.

The upper guide on my band saw broke. We'll see how my replacement design does. Just need to tap the holes. Took about five minutes to make it in CAD and then a couple hours to print it. @3dprinting

Only got one bird off the ground today. Totally Not a King Kraken maiden flight on an Aerotech G76. This is the first I've built zipperless and it worked great. Next flight should be on a H115 Dark Matter.

My 3" upscale Goblin got the rail mount stuck beside the motor retainer and it never left the pad...not the best use of a F40 motor 🤪

One of my neighbors made signs for my little selling kiosk. I didn't ask for it....he just showed up with them. There are good people out there.
