Thanks Kev!

I am going to start learning FreeCAD today, on my own. I hope I don't have to pull any hair out. Mostly because I don't have any left to pull out.

I’m not familiar with FreeCAD, I’m old and the public school thing, but I wish you luck!

You should try TinkerCAD too. I find tinker cad good for just simple basic 3d prints

You seem to forget that you’re only a few months older than me. Which makes me much younger than you and therefore I remember my youthfulness compared to you.

I’m not familiar with FreeCAD either. After all, I am nearly as old as you. Remember?

Thanks Bailey!

I looked into it and discovered that, after a while, one can easily have needs that cannot be addressed in TinkerCAD. Therefore, I thought I’d jump right into the more robust program.
 
Confusing Thanks Bailey!

Fair enough! That’s why I also keep autodesk fusion on hand too, but that one is like learning a new language

So, since I posted such a sad morning song, and Tom posted a flower yesterday, I thought I’d redeem myself with a pic of a flower from the same family as the one @tharbin posted.

Mind you, neither Tom or I are petunias!

Yes, I also looked into Fusion and do not want to pay the ridiculous monthly subscription to use it. I know they do offer a free version. However, with that free version they also retain the rights to your designs and can access them whenever they wish as you use their cloud to store them. I’m not a fan of others, especially a corporation, owning the rights to anything I create.
 
Morning Peeps!

Only 6" of snow.

Good morning!

Please, please tell me that is a tiny home you built. Also, please, please, please tell me that is your fish house!

I had a feeling that we’d be hearing about snow this morning. In your honor, and the honor of all you Smorgers who get the white stuff, last night, I snapped a quick pic of where I sit, most of the time while R2Ring, while you all were getting snow.

Thank you!

Looking at the pic now, I cannot believe I somehow managed to get one without any of our animals in it. We have 2 dogs and 4 cats and, generally, they are out here unless we force them to come in. Of course, they all get mental whenever they see the iguana that likes to sun bathe on our seawall.

Happy Wednesday, everyone!

Whenever you do a thing, act as if all the world were watching. Thomas Jefferson
I think this is something we can all live by. The actions that we are doing, why are we doing them? Are we doing stuff to promote pride? Maybe we are doing something because we want to help others. One thing that always bothers me is when I see these people online who film themselves giving money to homeless people. Now, there is nothing wrong with this. What bothers me is the motivation behind it. Is the individual doing this because they know they will get Social Media famous, or are they doing it because they genuinely want to help others? With some of those people, they really do have the whole world watching them. However, for most of us, we probably aren't posting everything we are doing in our day-to-day lives online. So today, act as if everyone was watching you. God clearly is watching you, so will you choose today to do the right thing, or the wrong thing?
