Over Thanksgiving weekend this year I finally pulled the trigger on a new MacBook Pro 16 after years of holding back and waiting. I have been constantly waffling on the decision sine the new models were announced last year. I wanted to ensure my wife was situated for work/school as she had been using hand-me-down …
It is beginning to look like Fall!

Installing the Creality BLTouch Auto Bed Leveling Kit on my Ender 3
During the pandemic I have had a lot more time to work with my Creality Ender 3. This has led to a lot of time manually leveling the bed and working to achieve success when getting the initial layers on my prints.

3D Printing and Model Railroading
3D Printing and Model Railroading are two hobbies of mine that I have posted about and are two hobbies that I feel could overlap quite well, but I have not come across many pages/forums that really go too deep into it.

We went to Brunswick on a warm January day!
It was a nice day today in our area and my wife and I wanted to get out and enjoy it. We were hanging out looking at what we should do, and Danielle suggested we go over to Brunswick and I could watch trains - if there were any - and she could read her …

This morning made me ready for fall…
Football season has started. Cool is in the air. I am ready for fall. While it is mid-September, my wife has not given me the go ahead to say it is Fall, and I am to the point where, well. Its Fall. On my way out the door this morning it was significantly cooler than …
I am bringing back an old hobby of mine
This past May my father came into town and he brought many boxes of model trains that had been acquired over the years from the time I was young up until a few years ago. Any time I would visit him from house to house he would show me things that he had picked up …
