Upgraded the ol' iMac and took the 172 out in XPlane 12. I'm restarting my short jump tour, this time going across MA from Ptown to the Vineyard. Gotta say, XPlane 12 is very purdy. Check out those clouds, and the ship in the water off Cape Cod. Chef's kiss!

Back in the cockpit, started at Syracuse and decided to head to every Rush fan's favorite airport, Toronto Pearson. I managed to grease the landing almost perfectly, go me! Final shot shows me parked by the general aviation hangars.

Forgot to post these yesterday, some action shots from the Hoamsy lino class, including card stock on the Vandercook and spoon-printed kitikata.

And Southern Ink decided to spin off its letterpress ink product into a new line, Blue Press Ink, so I got some PANTONE Yellow, Green and Mixing Black to check things out.

Trip to the Museum of Printing in Haverhill today. A non-casting Ludlow Day -- got some Radiant, Cameo, Florentine and Karnak matrices, and a pig feeder for the crucible.

After the bench hooks, more infrastructure tweaks -- moving type from the small elevated cabinet to the big floor-level cabinet.

After the Hoamsy lino class today, it was time to make some needed infrastructure -- more notched bench hooks!

[sigh] A namesake can has finally reached the end. Farewell, one kilogram of old school Van Son Rubber Base Plus Reflex Blue. You tinted many many square meters of paper in your time.
