I see from the front page that you visited within the last 24 hours. So it's good to know you haven't fallen off the face of the planet.

I don't recall seeing any notifications from Ecomodder, while I continue to receive stuff from elsewhere, so I apologize for not responding, I didn't realize that anyone followed up.
I have updated Robot Cantina: 212cc Insight and Kubota Saturn. each time he posts a new video, but as much as I appreciate Joggernot saying

I feel like finally getting married at 45 is the biggest event of my life.

There certainly have been other large events, but do I want to remember them?

I posted the links to the new videos at the end of my last post so that the last response that anyone sees is "Congratulations to Xist!!"

Mom said that she and Dad were barely talking at the end of their honeymoon, but I am sad each time I drop off my wife at work in the morning, and happy to see her in the evening.

There is never enough time!

I need to remove a little bit of particle board before gluing it back together and clamping it while it dries.

I don't have any confidence that will hold.

Awww, freebeard, are you counting yourself?!

My niece and nephews are pretty cool, but I almost never see them.

My younger nephew was here when I ran home for something last week. He acted excited to see me, took a picture with me, and got my phone number.

He is a good kid!

Mom hasn't killed me yet!

I was going through the stack of papers on my desk and decided to start logging my fuel again, so I have done that, too.

If you will excuse me, my last day of class is June second, and it is entirely possible that I will spend my 6-week summer vacation working on my research project.

The last parts were due before I got married, but that was a busy time!

I don't see anything due at the end of this quarter, which is weird because we had deadlines for each of the first three quarters.

I figured that I needed to finish this one and complete the next one while meeting all kinds of other deadlines and preparing for finals.

Or trying to.

For some reason, both my laptop and desktop now freeze when I try to create a PDF 95% of the time.

Unfortunately, everything that I need to submit needs to be a PDF, so I just started uploading them to random sites!

What could possibly be more secure?!

My brother is supposed to have his meeting with the judge today, but I didn't get Mom's part of his financial report, which we were supposed to submit to the attorney by Friday, until Sunday night, and I haven't finished entering what little she listed.

She put two things for April, room and board and one trip to Walmart.

She has labeled about 10% of his expenses, so I am just putting "Mom's gambling problem" for the rest.

This is an even bigger dumpster fire than the rest of my life.

There is a great deal more drama and trauma, but I am going to try to take care of it, not talk about it.

After all these years of looking at that thumbnail, I gotta say you look better with a beard.

The thumbnail is a picture of Xist? I thought it was Sam from the Bilbo Baggins saga.

Anyhoo congrats and hope you do the happily ever after thing.

Good to hear the new marriage is going well.

My wife and I passed through your old stomping grounds 2 weeks ago but didn't see anyone that looked like your profile picture hanging around. We rented a motorcycle in Phoenix and did a 1 week loop of Arizona. The second to last night we stayed in an AirBnB in Shumway - just north of Show Low.

I personally can't see how people live in Phoenix. 99 degrees F the last week of April. The Flagstaff area was nice though.
