We found bags of waffle-cut carrots and entertained ourselves in filling the dehydrator for a day. This morning, the bride is looking for a glass jar container that she know she has, but has yet to find. Surprising that the carrots shrink so much and yet all of the carrot flavor is still locked into each of these small pieces. This will meet our carrot wants this winter.

FRONT YARD BIRDHOUSE
This is a test pose of the final resting spot for the birdhouse I built for my wife. She likes it. We set a wooden post yesterday and I will have the final mounting completed this coming week.
My wife does have an eye for things like this. I can build stuff, but get lost in how and where to display. We must have walked around this and viewed from many distances. Gotta say it visually pops. Instantly worth all of the work.
This is the last place I would have chosen for this bird house location and it proves to be the very best place. Proves my point.

3D PRINTING
A new 3D printer for me up and running. I will be sharing a review of this printer and the progress of the next 22" Pond Yacht build in the weeks ahead. All of this brings out the kid in me, full tilt!
Hull shape mock up with third and forth iteration(s) of 3D-printed fittings. All prototypes. Nothing like taking an idea and seeing firsthand the good/bad/ugly of a design. Watch for progress in the weeks ahead.

TOMATO SOUP: SET IT, FORGET IT.
Another test from the bride. Homemade tomato soup. First cups for lunch today. Put parts and pieces in the slow cooker in the morning and easily complete at dinner time. All this meal needs is a large handful of saltine crackers and a toasted cheese sandwich. But you knew that.
Dad use to put so many saltines in his bowl of tomato soup, that it turned into tomato stew. But it always put a smile on his face.

JIBBER JABBER
If you have not yet seen this, than you may be one of the few who have not.
I was impressed when Elon Musk put his car in space and that it is still out there somewhere doing something. But what he is currently doing with space exploration is beyond words. If you need some hope of the future, here it is.
Temperatures in east Texas cooling. Days warm and comfortable. Still no rain in the 7 day forecasts. Fracking pine needles now with fallen leaves, but the lawns do not need mowing. Looking for an upside here.
New neighbors from far far away looking for a place that is not cold and filled with snow for months on end. A neighborhood welcoming bag of cookies this week.
October 2024 is marching along. Staying busy with stuff is very helpful.
I appreciate your visit as always.
