It's amazing what these 3D printers are capable of creating. Can't wait to see more such projects as this technology grows.
As for me, my own creating lately has been solely in the kitchen. The rest of the time has been spent on garden and household things and the never ending computer chores.
The garden is still producing enough to keep me busy in the kitchen so I made a tomato based vegetable soup for lunch with our tomatoes, summer squash and broccoli. Dinner was crab cakes with my easy Remoulade sauce, tossed salad and macaroni salad. The freezers are pretty full and the fridge is beyond filled. I don't think I could squeeze one more piece of food, no matter how small, in there right now.
Our weather has still been warm during the day, 75 today and in the 80's a couple of days ago, but it looks like in another couple of days, with rain coming, we'll be going down to more normal late October days with temperatures in the 60's - soup and bread baking kind of weather.
Two of my stand alone hard drives are definitely deceased, even though one shows that it's healthy but says I first have to format it, but repeated attempts at formatting only bring up the dreaded Windows can't complete the format". On top of that the two smaller capacity, working ones won't back up using Norton, so I've given up and started backing up files on floppies, and am also using JustCloud which is a joke. After 3 full days of transferring files (that' 24 hrs a day), it's only transferred 26 Gigabytes of files. At this rate it will a month to download everything! So I am probably going to have to give in and buy another stand alone hard drive, but it won't be a Samsung or a Toshiba, both of which died only a couple of months of using them.
I spent another two days dealing with the problems following the downloading of the latest Apple software for my iPad and two other devices which totally messed up my emails, and made it almost impossible to re-sign up on my iPad or to re-synch any of my devices. So it was another couple of days tearing my hair out over that problem and of course there was no way to revert back to the older software. Mercury retrograde has definitely been doing a number with all these devices, so I will wait till it's well over before I even consider looking for another stand alone hard drive.
On top of the ever failing computer hardware, I've had some health issues which have to be checked out. I finally found time yesterday to make an appointment with my doctor next Wednesday. Since I don't know what I'm dealing with, I'm not planning on getting involved in any studio work or any other projects that I can't complete in a day or so until I know what the cause of this pain is
Since I've pretty well done as much as I can with all these back ups at this point, maybe I can make time to try my hand at soap making using the easy melt and pour soap I bought which looks pretty simple. All I have to do is add my own colors and a fragrance. I've got the push up containers to use for making my own deodorant and I'd like to find time to do that as well. It's been a few weeks since I read all those instructions so I'll have to go back to square one and read those notes and watch one of those very helpful videos on you tube. I used to think that Google was the font of all wisdom, but I'm thinking You Tube is a close second!

I really wish Apple would leave the iPad software alone! Every time I upgrade I have a day of reorganizing my pad. The changes they make, never make sense to me. Like they moved the bookmark tab from the right corner to the left corner. What's the point? My muscle memory is still going to the right corner.....
ReplyDeleteHope you are mending soon. Go make soap, it's fun!
June,
ReplyDeleteTo you and your Family, I am so sorry for the loss of Jim. I enjoyed his work, and didn't know his health was in poor shape (see that he passed of Cancer). God bless him, and be comforted knowing others are sad at the news of his passing. He was a good man (never met him, wish I had), but from what I hear and observed of him from Vancouver Canada on TV.
