@MakersHour@cupoftea.social MakersHour@cupoftea.social - Q1: Welcome! Introduce yourself and tell us what you’d like to be making right now. (Feel free to show pictures of what you’ve been up to as well!) #MakersHour Aaron, a maker of messes, community theater set pieces, and random diy projects. I cleaned my basement work area, and rebuilt some steps most recently. Trying to restore some of the rotting trim on my now 22 year old home. Preparing for an upcoming painting project.

@MakersHour #makershour I'm Aaron, a small farm owner, community theater set and prop maker, and general tech geek. I'm making messes with my tractor... Moving years of accumulated alpaca poop and hay.

@MakersHour #makershour a3 one of these arcade marque light boxes... Easy enough, cool enough. Flat packable, very rewarding.

@thomasfuchs I can tell you what I won't be doing, and that is buying a replacement. Like my nest thermostat, I'll be replacing it with a device off their network. Less reason to have Amazon devices in my house.

@MakersHour@cupoftea.social Q5: If you could have an all-expense paid maker holiday, where would you go and why? #MakersHour I think a big GC to the wood store, tool shop, and time to do projects would be enough. I don't necessarily need to go somewhere to make, I need the freedom to execute.

You know what I like? being able to buy parts and repair my things.
I just happily ordered a replacement part for my 15 year old coffee grinder. I need to remember to buy repairable appliances. Glad Baratza still sells parts. Good on them.

Ran... A little send off for a friend running Boston.
Not me jelly. I qualified, but didn't make the cut.

Fighting the good fight today to keep the early momentum going. Making kid breakfast then grocery shopping... Maybe it will be warm enough out to do some tree or tractor work. It was raining earlier.

I did some work on the driveway yesterday, it's better, but not good. Still learning.

Whats your day looking like?

@RowinSpeez@mas.to I started running because I could only manage 30 minutes and it was an efficient work out in the time. Now I regularly run 7+ hours a week, but that's a different story. Sorry you don't have time. You will, eventually.

@mdmrn my opinion is that the chocolate and the PB have gone so far down hill that they are borderline as is, adding anything just tips it over the line. There are so many much better cups out there it's sad a favorite of mine has gone so far down hill.

@davetansley@mastodon.world These arent new bands or albums, but they are modern and fun. First, They don't have staying power, but Greta van fleet, is a fun listen for that classic rock / zep vibe Rainbow Kitten Surprise, seven plus Mary is a solid rocking album. The front bottoms - tallon of the hawk Good luck. I don't know much modern that aligns, but I like similar old stuff and a bunch of newer bands

@MakersHour@cupoftea.social Q4: Have you learned a new maker skill while on holiday? Is it something you seek out? #MakersHour I'm always seeking to learn. I used to help my dad do projects while on vacation. But I feel a bit like harry chapin these days... I take PTO to do DIY projects, which I learn and hone skills, so I say yesish.

Spouse had to fly to their parents, to help organize some PT and care for my mil.
They are aging, and it's becoming harder and harder for them to be on their own.
Together they are almost able, but it's not really the case. They need more care, and I'm grateful they can afford it, but this type of situation is very challenging and stressful.
I am not prepared for this with my parents.

@jessamyn I finally succumbed and bought the right tool for the job, and have been blowing the snow off my wreck of a driveway this year, otherwise I'd have been in trouble about three storms ago.
