I ordered an SJK roadhouse tarp. Product review to follow next spring.

My mate Noel came around with 2 bottles of Shiraz. On his bicycle, fortunately.
Coz we spent the afternoon creating kick-ass wood fired pizza and demolishing the two bottles, and he would not of been able to drive home.
Myself, I'm currently laying in bed feeling a bit tired. :lol:

Well done mate.

Myself, I did something I now regret.
I refilled a 1# Coleman bottle.
A friend gave me a really old propane camp stove he was otherwise going to throw out.
It had come from an old house he bought, then resold.
To say the old stove is a bit suss is to understate the situation.
But it came with a near full 4kg (9 lbs) propane cylinder.
I've got a few empty Coleman 1# bottles. Those things cost $13 each here - perhaps the most expensive cooking you can get.
So the temptation is to refill.
Anyway, I had enough right and left hand threaded parts and hoses to simply connect the 9# cylinder to the 1# cylinder. Hung the 9 pounder upside down so it had liquid propane coming out, sat the 1 pounder on a scale and turned on the taps.
I got 14.5 ounces back into the 16 ounce cylinder, before I ran out of patience.
Quite pleased with myself, but decided to check Google before filling all my cylinders. That's when I found out just how dangerous it is considered to be.
I'll use the one I've filled, and, no more.

Today (actually yesterday) Shelly printed a bunny rabbit with our brand new filament 3d Printer

171086

Guess that was a test pattern Creality gave us with the printer. That was our Christmas present to each other.

The Elegoo (red cover) is her brand new resin printer that she bought with some of the profits from the resin printed furniture she sold at the doll house show in Connecticut last September. The Anycube printer is her year old resin printer (yellow cover to the left), and the UV curing station is the yellow covered thing in between the Elegoo and Creality.

In general, resin printers have higher resolution than filament printers, but the material will degrade like epoxy in the sun if left unprotected. Also, resin printed items probably aren't as strong as filament printings. Evidently, the Elegoo has even better resolution than the Anycube.

Me, I must be bored. Spent the past few days figuring out how to 2D print maps with Excel lists of places we want to camp and see in our teardrop in the years to come.

Not much happening in the winter, but I did take this out of the front window this morning.

A great game, worthy of the event. And it ended the way I hoped :beer:

Built some planters for Christmas gifts. Used only three fence pickets. Now on to staining and painting.

Mick:

I've got three of these:

https://www.scheels.com/p/flame-king-1-lb-refillable-cylinder/89900300032.html?store=&src=hardlines&pgid=psearch&gclid=Cj0KCQiA-oqdBhDfARIsAO0TrGFxhi1Cnh5tCCpd4SeEaKHwdps1Eii-Rfeh2d99uF_B9qNQaUqhva8aAg7sEALw_wcB

They're relatively inexpensive and designed to refill. You open a vent while filling, just like a normal propane tank.
