UPDATE 20241212: The onions as yet thrive, with another plant that I forgot about bursting through the soil at least two weeks after planting. The birds still show no interest in the plants and the plants continue to grow and produce multiple stems. I read up on these and one of the key things is … Read More
It rained this week. It may have rained earlier, but this was the first meaningful rain of the season, not only because it had a bit of hail in it, but we got the first snow on the mountains this year on 11/16. This is always a big milestone for me, since while the harbingers … Read More
It’s a hot one. Like seven inches from the midday sun. For the last week. Day after day of heat so bad it makes you want to slap the people who were whining about the clouds and pleasant weather back in June. I’m gonna have to take out a second mortgage for the electric bill … Read More
The week started out peacefully enough until I walked out onto my patio and noticed something was missing — several things, actually.

One is a neat little model reminiscent of a Greek building, complete with a little reservoir at the bottom that fills with water that flows down from each of the planter areas through internal plumbing. The other is a Mario mushroom that was far larger than … Read More
I forgot to do a wrap-up last week, because I got side-tracked with what started as a simple image gallery post. As I began typing out the context for the pictures, it transformed into a full-blown essay about the history of the Mojave. This past week saw the arrival of another heatwave or Heat Dome … Read More
The 3D printing cavalcade of planters continues, this time an Oddish planter. The Mario cube in the back was also 3D printed, but I printed the yellow and white parts separately and they didn’t quite line-up. If I did it again, I’d just print a single color and airbrush it, but I didn’t feel like … Read More
I printed out this Bulbasaur planter for one of my succulents
A lot of travel this week, limiting the amount of interesting things I could accomplish this past week. I was in Kansas City, MO for a good deal of it and overall it wasn’t too bad of a time. I stayed at the 21C hotel and you know you’re in for something less than ordinary … Read More
