3DP, Watercolor, Brakes, Banana Bread, Dinner, The Lion King Musical - Sunday

Went on a search yesterday morning since I was up stupid early as normal. I found the clip attachment for my Klien amp meter. It is like my Fluke meter magnet and I ended up having the perfect set of magnets to fit the end.

I opted for tape to hold the magnets and rubber case in place. It holds the meter as long as I don't pull on it.

Managed my single watercolor each day and these are the 3 days worth.

50, 1, 50... 101 is not bad but really should have been 150.

With the white PLA still in the printer I added to the herd that I have printed out already.

Thankfully they are all SILENT, that would be a bit noisy with that many together...

Finally got out to look at the sled wheel. Turns out the one brake pad (inner) was to metal and thankfully I had the last set I took off when replacing the pads last year. The other side was still quite good so I just shoved it in. I really REALLY need to address why the inside pad wears and the outside is barely touched. I think it is the pin that is rusted and doesn't allow the assembly to move right.

Nifty pick cards for the wallet and then a drum key for R. Likely print a few of these in case since knowing him and his ability to lose things....

Slight difference in the pads... The back of the rotor is surprisingly still smooth and not all grooved up from the metal rubbing.

Mid day the boys used up the mini bananas into a double batch of banana bread. It was done in time before we left for town.

I got us a table reserved at The Onion downtown for 3:45pm and we were there on time. Lots of tables were reserved and it ended up rather good that we were there early as the service got rougher as the tables filled up. The cheese was SUPER runny and R poured it out onto the place mat. It made me and J laugh good as a family walked past to exit and all 3 kids stared at R's cheese that truly looked like an adult tape worm....

No longer ordering from the kids menu though his appetite doesn't really need the extra food, at least we all have left overs for lunches.

The doors opened at 5:30 and we found ourselves at the entrance about 10 minutes early.

Nice propane heaters setup for people to warm next to though it was just in the low 40s F.

We were like 4th in line at the concessions where we got a mocha, drinks, and popcorn. I required the caffeine to make it through the 3 hour show. Our seat were at the top back right of the venue and we climbed the stairs to the top level.

The view of the entrance from the top level.

Interestingly there was a group of college age kids on the north side of the breezeway who had a kind of potluck setup it looked like. I watched as some filled plates. No clue what it was about.

"MUAIRCHANDISING! Spaceballs the lunch box, Spaceballs the coloring book, Spaceballs the FLAME THROWER!" That stand is likely where much of the money is made just like most every other show ever seen in a venue...

Our seats were really not bad. End of the row and a great view.

The entire place has the wood slat ceiling drop as a sound deadener.

After intermission we came back for the second half. Pretty cool the incredible number of people involved and the amount of costumes/props was wild. They must have a couple semi trailers to haul it all between cities.

Okay, I just couldn't help it. HOW THE FUCK DOES A PERSON END UP LIKE THAT? The monster could barely fit in the seat and somehow made it to the top level, though likely took the elevator. At least the musical drowned out his labored breathing. I just can't.... This is what the rest of the world sees when they see Americans... Used to be John Wayne, now it's the 1000lb twins.

Today we are going skiing since the mountain is expecting up to 8" today. Should be a killer day and we may end up over at our friend's afterwards for grilling. Getting my daily stuff done now so not worried about getting home in time but there is school and work tomorrow so we likely won't be out too late. I am rather tired after the later night last night so really should make myself coffee to take with for skiing instead of my tea.
