Dice Tower 1/4 of The Way Printed ...

Photo-A-Day #02579 I wanted a dice tower so I started printing this one this morning. It is a 43 hour print. We are probably 1/4 of the way through. The interesting thing here is that it is a spiral staircase up the tower and while there are some windows that will eventually be added to it as the tower itself prints I have to say the level of detail is good but I will probably not ever see the inside of the tower and the brick work that was added to it. We should start getting more height soon since the large area where the dice come out is very nearly printed. Then the concentration will be on the Tower itself.

Clearing Extra Snow ...

Photo-A-Day #02578 The other day my neighbor came over to let me know that the gas company couldn't get to her gas meter because mom and dad's car was in the way and that they would be coming back on Monday to try again. So, today while it was fairly warm I took out the snowblower and cleared a larger spot and moved their car further back in the driveway.  When I was done with that I took the snowblower down to the front of the house and cleared the pathway again because the path I had created got pushed in with more snow from either the apartment across from me or the city. This happens often. I clear and clean and it gets plowed over. While I was doing that I noticed the neighbor across the way was trying to clear out the sidewalk with a single shovel. I walked over and offered to clear it all off for her with the snowblower. She told me that she was the daughter of the people in the house. They are nice people, quiet, keep to themselves, they also use Black Earth Compost.  ...

Briggs Corner Pizza With Andy ...

Photo-A-Day #02577 Allison and Eva went to see Eva's friend Aviva play hockey tonight and so Andy and I were on our own. Since I wasn't so into leftover roulette I decided to take them out for dinner. We went over to Brigg's Corner for dinner. andy decided on pizza and I was going to get wings but decided that I had not had good pizza in a long time and Briggs makes some great pizza. It isn't on my eating plan but one night wasn't too bad and my blood sugar did not take a bit hit. The pizza was so good, though.

Unexpected Dealership Day ...

Photo-A-Day #02576 I took Allison's car in to the dealership today to get an oil change This meant that she had my car to drive to school. She called me and told me that when she got to school my rear passenger side tire was flat. She could hear air hissing out of it. So, I grabbed my documentation on the tire protection plan that I had through Kia because of the lease. I brought that with me to the dealership to find out what I had to do about the tire. They had that information on file so I just had to bring the car in. So, I hung out at the dealership as I planned to do to wait for Allison's car to be finished. I think they finished up around noon. I spent the time trying to work on my lines for the play. I got Allison's car and swapped it for mine. I filled the tire as best I could and drove it to the dealership. Waiting for Triple AA was going to make things even longer. I was sort of white knuckling it tot he dealership and for some reason leaning to my left as if I c...

Meatloaf and Experimental Potatoes ...

Photo-A-Day #02575 Tonight I made meatloaf for dinner and also some potatoes. I baked the potatoes in cream, butter, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt and pepper. The potatoes came out really good, in my opinion. They got a couple of questionable looks but they were tasty and creamy and the had great flavor.

Bunny Prints ...

Photo-A-Day #02574 Was a very quiet day for me as I slept all day long. I needed that. So I didn't get many places or get out for a photo. I was putting out the trash and I noticed a bunch of bunny prints. I see the bunny int he backyard all the time but I have no idea where it lives most of the time. Seems to be doing just fine int he snow, though.

Transformers Card Game ...

Photo-A-Day #02573 I've been playing a solo D&D RPG this year with a daily calendar. I learned about this Transformers deck building card game and I picked it up. It has a solo mode and a multiplayer mode as well. There are many expansion packs. I'll see how the game is before I look into expanding.  Speaking of Transformers I finished reading my first box of comics today. I finished with Regeneration One Issue #100. I'll go put that box back on the rack and bring up Box #2 tomorrow. More Transformers. I think I have 6 or 7 that are just Transformers  related. The kids finished watching The Lord of the Rings tonight. I came down when they were making popcorn and about to start disc #2. I could hear them from downstairs and they both exclaimed "2 Hours!" These were long movies.
