My last post was about all hell breaking loose at my homestead. Life is never boring!
As a palate cleanser and ray of sunshine, I have positive news. In theory (and assuming I don’t break my 3d printer overnight) I expect to mail out every remaining order that specified “I need this by Christmas” on Monday. (Obviously I can’t send USPS on Sunday.) I’m well ahead of the “drop dead” Christmas shipping date.
Last week I already had sent a few “Christmas” orders. USPS tracking indicates a few of them have already arrived and the rest are well on their way. Yay!
None of this is a big deal to a professional outfit, but that’s not me. I’m a guy who talks to trees and has owned a 3d printer only one year. I think getting well ahead of the shipping schedule is pretty awesome.
Some of my orders were listed “if it’s after Christmas that’s OK”. (Thanks for that!) I’m already working on those orders. However, I’m still open to a few “by Christmas” orders. Also, a truckload of “no rush” orders would be groovy. If you’re interested please go to https://adaptivecurmudgeon.com/sawhorses/.
Any new “by Christmas” orders go to the front of the line. I’ll try to get them in the mail on time.
So there ya’ go. I’ve been joyously working my 3d printer like a rented mule and I have a big pile of filament that I’m glad to use. What more can a nerd want?
Merry Christmas y’all.

P.S. In other “homestead news”, as soon as the kitchen is reassembled I’ll cook up a “luck grouse”! (My luck, not his.) The poor bugger flew into my window (didn’t break it) and it did him in. Who am I to turn down nature’s bounty? And yes, that means I hustled out into the snow to claim a prize the cats (who were circling like sharks) had in their sights. Will I outrun a cat through a snowdrift for a grouse dinner? Heck yeah! It also means the window is a better small game hunter than me. 🙂
While reading today’s AC update, I was moved to check the front porch. Under the overnight snow fluff was a box. Could it be? Why, yes! The jig is everything it’s said to be. Well done AC! and many thanks!
Glad you like it.
Grouse-fed cat is not a meal to disdain. Canine voters have indicated the double-bonanza of bones is a worthwhile addition to the reduction in aggravation, and reduced competition for scritchies and treats. A dog can growl with contentment and be believed, but a cat never purred a burglar into soiling his pants and seeking the horizon.
