In a really twisted way, Youtube is a fairly big reason why a good number of people go outside, take up hobbies, etc.

There are very very few entertainers that have ever choked me up, but damn Richard Simmons and Newhart are definitely on that list. Rest well.

That’s fine, am a Linux user and not a big deal running a file/media server, also have large enough SD cards, so still not a problem storing music either. I would just like to be able to purchase some new songs just so I can be able to adjust the playlists to something more to my tastes for particular songs over the entire genre or band’s albums which can often contain other bands/songs that just bug the living daylights out of me, heh.

Man, I need to try to see if my anxiety would let me watch this. I loved the original, and I’d like to see how this one handles the pheasant episode. That’s one of the few parts I can remember vividly. I’d really like to see if it’s as gut wrenching as the first time.

Well, if “media” is in general, I’d have to say television. I’ll watch some things once in a while, but for the most part, I have way too much anxiety from a bad marriage. Audio books, and certain Youtube channels can trigger it, too.

Spaghetti carbon-era would work, too.

but it’s been at least a couple of weeks since cast-on which should tell you all you need to know about rate of completion 😅

Pshhh! That’s nothing. I’ve got a grocery bag that I started over a year ago, and a pumpkin bag I started about 7 months ago…i swear I’ll get to them…after I find where I put the patterns I wrote…:no_mouth:

Definitely requires a bit more concentration than I’ve been able to give lately, so I just keep defaulting to the socks instead.

Oof! Pain and the digestive issues from trying to get my pains taken care of have me in a daze most days. It’s tough, but I am making headway…slooooowly, heh!

Am working on another duster for my swiffer thingies…I still don’t feel up to recording a how-to yet, though. I’ll get to it…i’ll get to it.

Last night, I made a tiny ray out of this yarn, too.

I’m rather curious about this, too.

I’ll chime in with what I’ve personally dealt with.

Both Aroma brand

Glass lid, metal cooking pan has a lip that rolls outside of the heating base. Just a simple switch, cooking & warm. Does boil over once in a while, and fairly small…ease of cleaning, really really easy.

Enclosed unit, has a metal pan that goes inside and a steamer basket, has a removeable metal top to clean…haven’t had it for long, but I can imagine the seals will deteriorate and make it not as long lasting as the other pan…However, those seals do make cleaning more difficult.

And finished a squid a few hours ago.

I did make a couple videos on how to make them, but they are complete crap. Wife’s off tomorrow and I have a hell of a lot of anxiety while she’s home, so will try to get the videos done next week.

Ok! Ribbon looks like it’ll work, and I believe I found a way to keep the fins from being pulled out too easily, as well as making it possible to re-fin it if/when the cats pull the fins out.

I’ve had ideas for cambrian knits for a looooong time, heh. Bad marriage, getting cussed out by a son for knitting, and chronic pains have made thinking loads of fun, yeesh, but I have made enough to know it’s very much possible.

3 sizes of trilobites (and, unfortunately the only pattern I was able to finish and publish, but I do need to record a video on attaching the heads).

Ammonite (Almost had it finished oh so long ago. Luckily, I do remember the important parts of making it).

Also, I’ve had halucigenia and other Xenusiids in mind, crinoids, tullymonstrum, and opabinia as well. I did have an idea for writing a larger anomalocaris, but it turns out someone was ahead of me, hah.

Unfortunately, it’ll be a miracle if I can ever finish any of them…My deltoid and bicep can hurt immensely with the small movements while knitting.

Loving your methodical approach too!

Speaking of, I am spending way too much time on this, heh! I’ve got two hats and a pumpkin bag to knit, and a small painting to do ( Maybe more like these ). I’ll just stick to a cloth of some kind, and let her touch it up how she wants. 🤣 .

Welp! It browned in several spots over night. Maybe because of the dirt? Or the heat gun? Or???

Next tests, I’ll need to try a two layer method. (one with a lower layer of baking soda, and another with a toilet paper bottom. That should help to deduce if the dirt was the cause of it).

First issue I found, I needed to add a little water to the mixture so it would keep from pulling up the dirt as I tried to spread it on. Made it so I could just pour it over. Wtich means two things, I’ll see how moisture reacts to it, and have to wait maybe two days for it to dry…which, if so, might make it really difficult in that I’ll have to fill the unit with dirt before we move it (and it is quite heavy without the added dirt).

Update:

Well, I’ll be damned. I used a heat gun and it dried up within seconds…Everything is back on schedule again, 😃

Although it’s a pretty sheltered location, but wouldn’t the baking soda dissipate with any moisture? Humidity, rain, and/or snow?

Edit: I just thought about it, and what I’ll do is run an experiment. I can place some near my kitchen sink’s handle. Water dripping from my hand and the humidity should give me a good idea how it’d work outside.
