I come in peace.

The reason I used to use my work PC for online purchases/personal finances because the network at my employer was much more secure than my home network. But it was a smaller company back then, now that we're "corporate" (partnered a larger entity) I don't.

I picked up a used Garmin drivesmart 65 that I 3D printed a mount for. One of the accessories for it is a backup camera, and since my sideview mirrors see more of my shoulder than they should, it might make a interesting rear view mirror cam.

I've been using the Hario Skerton daily for 7 years. 24 bucks on Amazon rn.

I've used the dining room table as a workbench for many a Z project, from soldering broken connections on the digital dash to redoing the panel bonding between the hood skin and the support frame. Just noticed, that i had almost the exact tiled farmhouse style dining set too, lol.

That engine stand really ties the room together tho 🤣

I'm on my second spool of ASA and love it. It did require me to upgrade to a enclosure and PEI print bed.

On the bike I have an INNOVV K3 front and rear camera system, On my Shoei RF-1400 helmet, I have a chin mounted Runcam Thumb pro powered by a power bank via a USB cable that runs into my jacket. I'm relatively new to getting back on a motorcycle, but I've had dashcams in my cars for years and have learned firsthand how they can be a valuable asset.

I'm going to add, that if you cannot print the gasket, maybe you can print a jig that will make the gasket cutting more accurate. I did something similar with a carpet cleaner where the waste tank gasket was leaking. I printed a jig to allow a hobby knife to trace an outline and not wander.

I will dust off my two Underwood #5's in celebration!

We now have a Instant Pot Vortex 6 Quart Air Fryer that gets used quite a bit, mornings for toast and lunch prep and heavily on Sundays for meal prep. It replaced our Ninja Foodi Air Fryer Oven which just got donated because it was collecting dust. That was totally capable of baking, but slower and consumed a lot of counter space, despite rotating up and out of the way. It was fantastic for frozen pizza, but since dietary changes have eliminated those, the basket style is more than capable for chicken and veggies, easier to clean and store too.

Giving them a listen now. Personally I've been revisiting a lot of Clan of XYMOX since seeing them in Portland last week. Also Cloud of Ravens, which opened for them and Sisters of Mercy when they were here. Lets see...Actors, Bellwether Syndicate, IAMX, Diorama and whatever the spotify algorithm generates. I've largely been away from exploring the scene for a few decades and just recently am rediscovering what is out there.

I've got one of these sitting on the shelf since i got my CR10S PRO V2. Nothing at all wrong with it either, it's just noisy. I keep it around mostly because it's direct drive.
