My wife and I just talked about how this is the first year we're both struggling with the time change.
 
Date night with the Mrs. Went to a nicer steakhouse by us, she got a steak, I well… got shrimp tacos. She’s got a picture of the three of us somewhere on her phone!

the winning 3D Printer was a Creality K2 Pro Combo CFS. the kids really need color choices. I figured what the Hay since I just got this big promotion at work.
That’s a sweet printer to get too! Good luck with printing! I have an A1 Bambu, but really wanting to get the P2s that just got shown
 
Hello family!
I just got home from having surgery today. I had a small mass in the right side of my groin. They also removed three lymph nodes to send to pathology.
I didn't want to worry any of you, so I decided to tell you afterwards. Its not concerning for cancer, so please don't worry. They are unclear if the mass is from toxic exposure in the military. Hopefully the pathology report will give us a hint.

Much love to all my Smorg family and I apologize for not telling you all sooner.
It's from all the McChicken you...well you know.

I had the Bambu and the FlashForge originally along with an Ender V3 on my shopping list. Hoping it’s the right one but really for the kids to print stuff. One had a school project the other day with animal cell structures and would have been great for that.
 
Well, we caught us a boatload of stripers today. I think I caught 15-20 myself in the half hour or so we were on them plus a small mouth and 2 or 3 large mouth.

Good day on the lake. Gonna head back out to glass some areas for sheep tomorrow.
