Holy moly… 65 steps later, and the extruded is assembled. Eight Haribo consumed. (Plus a bonus Haribo at the half-way point.) Everything’s looking good so far.
Z-Axis assembly complete! We’re cookin’ with gas now.
The Prusa MK3S upgrade kit comes with a pack of Haribo gummy bears, to be eaten in proscribed amounts at the end of each assembly step. Finishing the X-Axis is relatively easy, so only four Haribo this round.
The upgrade of the Prusa MK2S to the MK3S has begun. Y-Axis assembly is complete. The manual said it should take 2 hours; it took more like 5. But who’s counting? It’s a fun diversion, akin to putting together a really complicated Lego set.

Saw “As You Like It” at Shakespeare’s Globe tonight. Loved the production, and what a great place to see a play. I’ve attended as a groundling, but much prefer the seats we had tonight in the front row of the second level. Just so good.
When you take a walk in the countryside in the UK, the public walkway sometimes goes right through someone’s field. Growing up in the US, it’s so ingrained to avoid private property that this just feels weird. But, when in Rome, etc…

We discovered Jameson Black Barrel during our trip to Ireland last year and have been enjoying it ever since. It’s got a caramel-vanilla quality and a smoothness to it that’s hard to beat. Sláinte.
A year ago today, I went with my friend Coco to watch the Blue Angels from the observation deck of Columbia Tower in Seattle. I wasn’t quick enough to catch the really close pass one of the jets made, but this one was not too far off. What a thrill.
