Another first try. Try new things.
06.02.2026 01:41 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0PSA: Check with your public transit operators before paying for fare on any online site.
Google maps said fare was required and linked to a pay site. I bought a day pass ... and then discovered that the city does not charge fare. Public transit is free.
So it's a lesson learned by money lost.

A hand carved Dala horse sits atop a sketchbook with blue paintbrush strokes swirled on the page. The horse itself has a base red coat with white and blue designs.
My first attempt at carving and then painting over said carving. Not bad for a first try. :)

With any luck, whomever sent it will adjust their records.

You should make your own Orchestrion! There are a lot of PiJukebox tutorials and crafting an Orchestrion shell for it sounds like fun!
26.01.2026 05:30 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0I hope so too, but I think what's pissing me off the most right now is I don't know where along the line itโs frozen. The cold water pipe five inches from itโs fine which makes me think itโs somewhere else where the pipes diverge but I don't know where that would be... and why the toilet too? *sigh*
24.01.2026 18:37 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Well, so is mine. Despite that, it seems somewhere it is cold enough in this negative temp land that a pipe has frozen because one of my sinks has no water.
So, dear friends and strangers ... drip your taps.
Live in the frozen path? Bathroom on an exterior wall? Open your cabinets and set your sink to drip water. If possible run a small space heater in the areas farthest from your vents.
Kita, why would I need to worry about that? My house is comfortably warm.

An acrylic painting on particle board. Water reflecting the greenery in the background flows over a short fall, breaking in white streaks around a small cropping of rocks near the center. Bushes, a few with light blue flowers line the shore in the back. A wooden post cuts across the front bottom right of the shot.
This is an old one from last century. One of my first attempts at landscape from a photo I took on a field trip.

Make a doorknob in my style!
Well, my style is to fly by the seat of my pants with no pattern and very little in the way of a plan save for a nerdy idea of a fandom dream!

The American system is nice... until you need to organize together and then you see just how divided it is.
08.01.2026 06:10 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0It looks like Canada has a 9,330km possible road trip from Inuvik to St. John's. Russia has one over 10,600km when driving from Magadan to Nal'chik.
So while the US is not as large as Canada or Russia, it's still QUITE LARGE. That distance works against its citizens when trying to come together.
Drive from Prudhoe Bay to Anchorage, then catch a ferry chain to Bellingham, WA (pretending we can't drive through Canada) and then drive across the US. We can end our trip in Van Buren, Maine after driving over 7,000 kilometers.
It's still over 7k if driving to Miami instead.
Did you know that if someone from LA wanted to drive to their nation's capital to protest, it would be longer than the drive from Lisbon, Portugal to Athens, Greece?
Almost 4300 kilometers and that's not even all the way to the edge of the nation. Just driving around Canada is over 7000km.
I've been playing XIV so long that I have seen the return of the Horse.
(I know there are players who have been in it longer, but it still hurts this kelpie's knees to say it.)

I guess I'm in trouble. I made a tribble.

The cutoff for this to guarantee it for NA Fan Fest is coming up fast!! I'll still take the commission after that, but I can't promise anything given the amount of work that went into the first set.
