Good Boxing Day morning :hello:
Busy day at the Towers yesterday..
Toodles insisted she was to open everybody's presents...
'Twas fun..
Enjoy your day.....
Owdo this fine morning.
You'll be keeping the old british tradition that is Boxing Day alive, and having the day off.
House filled to bursting. Hope you were allowed your seat at some point.
Today you can relax...
Including yours!
I'll try...

Important question, any reports of snow North O'Border yesterday?

I'm not going to look as temps were in double figures all day..
Up N? dunno, I'll search later..

Day off, guests all gone....
The rest of the turkey is winging (:ohmy:) NE.....

Nice quiet day, no visitors except Toodles had 'borrowed' Mrs M's TV remote:laugh: and was returned earlier...
I have a :cuppa: and some chocolate....
I may pop in later..

Similar temperature wise here, possibly not as high as up your way though.
No rush, just wondering if they found a place up that end of this island where it did snow yesterday. Thus the bookies avoid paying out.

Feet up in front of the telly as you think about getting ready for the New Year. Enjoying the peace and quiet of an almost empty house.
You had enough of turkey then. No turkey sarnies for a few days...

Were Toodles returned with the remote or just Toodles returned to you.
How'd she manage to get the remote long enough anyway.
Cuppa and chocolate!
You know how to push the boat out...
Enjoy the peace, it'll not last long.

I cannot remember such a mild Xmas period...
Luckily for a tired Granda (not a spelling mistake) no kids were involved :laugh:
Tomorrow before we get the kids again...
Toodles has now got a balance bike so I guess it may appear with her tomorrow

Chocolate getting a hammering but the piece de resistance, a bottle of 15 yr dark rum will be kept for special occasions..

maybe:laugh:

Exceptionally mild this year, but winter has only just started.
Granda too tired to test his chocolate out?
They may come bearing gifts, for bribery purposes.
You'll be able to show her how to ride it. You got the Hi-Vis, body armour and hard hat ready.

Don't go eating it all in one go. What'll you do for the rest of the year.
The dark rum all yours?

Possibly...

Foggy start to the day round these parts.
All quiet outside, hard to believe it's a holiday as there's no-one out there.
Nothing planned for the day.

14 hours plus - 14 inches long


I was up after 2am to make sure it finished okay...
Another is being printed... 1 hr 30 mins in and 9%, midnight finish hopefully.
This one as it full size if very flexible..
I have used a finer laying rating..

Choc never lasts long, they have stopped buying me so much..
Peace and quiet has returned..
off out with their Granny...

Good morning :hello:
Quiet, quiet? No chance...
Grandchildren being nuts as usual..
I will need more than a :cuppa: later:ohmy:
To calm my nerves of course....
Owdo
Tell them they should be seen and not heard, unless they're asked to speak.
Never mind the Grandkids, are you being your normal self...
Chocolate bikkies?
Hide that bottle of dark rum you got as a presnt. Others may help you drink it, all today!

Looks good.
An inch an hour, yer getting adventurous with it now.
14 hours is a bit of a wait, you keeping busy elsewhere or hovering near the printer while it does its job. Earlier night than last night if your estimate is correct.
A novel reason for checking, "I'm just going to check on how the dragon is doing/coming along.

All the more reason to make what you do have last longer.
You'll be a back seat passenger in your own car the next time you go out.
Deciding what to have to drink?

Just into double figures here.
The fog is clearing, slowly. No precipitation yet. Clear blue skies are visible as the fog clears.
I await the snow they've been forecasting for the last month. See if they finally get it right.

Should be finished at 23.40 :wahhey:
The kids will be delighted with them...
Worth the effort and wait..
I'm going to try one at original .20 which is standard (the difference is finish)
Got some yellow coming tomorrow.
I still pop in every 15 or 20 mins, OCD :cuppa:
Just prepared a file at.20

at .16 (present two done this way)

same dragon.. interesting the difference in length used.

Out radioing tonight...
not bad, half a dozen showed up..
now sat with a Maccys cafe....
cold drink calling....

Earlier than you thought...
You'll be printing one for yourself?
What does Toodles make of your printer, and what comes off it.
You don't fully trust it to do its job without checking on the progress. If it hit a problem, would it know there was a problem and stop?
You been bargain hunting in the Boxing Day sales.
Okay, what is the actual difference between the two. Solely the finish or is there something else as well.

Didn't think there'd be anything at the scout hut until the new year. Or were you all comparing notes whilst sipping coffee.
Who's it calling?

She doesn't understand it yet,,,
Barred from the garage space as xmas items kept there..
Yep, trying the short file as soon as yellow delivered.
I'll hopefully compare the two and see if any different on such a detailed object.
It's more after the problems of the first printer I had, I went out last night whilst it was in operation..
just glad such a long job worked well.

It was discussed about opening during the hols and agreed if enough wanted to appear..
Think folk get jaded with holiday time at this time of year...an ideal few hours escape..

sales, no?
I had a look at the yellow PLA a few times and I'm convinced thy use an algorithm to either up the price or reduce depending on how often it is looked at..
Household work calls...
