Plant starts

December 15, 2012 · Posted in Garden, Photography · Comment 

The fill of the plant starts after thinning to one plant per cell. It seems to be doing quite well. I may have to get some bigger pots, especially for the tomatoes before long, or else they may have to go into the ground around mid January, hopefully I can hold off til the middle of February just to be safe from frost.

The second leaves are coming onto the tomatoes, kale, and flax quite nicely!

Christmas is when I get to work making presents. This year I had a request. A cake pop stand.  Here is the finished product.

Its made entirely out of melamine mdf. Easy to clean and no finishing required! Just don’t look too closely at the edges.

Hope she likes it, she needs it for a party tonight and its been done for about 10 minutes.

My New Toy!

For our anniversary this year we decided to get each other a nice gift, it is our 10 year after all. Laurie got me this.

Yes, that is a standard size paper clip, not one of those huge ones. Dual band chinese radio, a baufeng uv-3r+. Besides being able to easily fit in my shirt pocket it has a built in vox. I haven’t tested it yet, but if it works this will likely be a great little digital mode radio to hook up to my android phone. As soon as I figure out the pinouts for the speaker mike on the radio and phone I will build a cable and APRS here I come!

Oh, Laurie got a silhouette cameo, a computerized paper/vinyl/fabric cutter. I know we are a couple weeks early on the gifts, but what can I say. Amazon was quick, and we are impatient.
