Went to the pumpkin patch. It was 95 degrees. A cool afternoon for southern Arizona, even I’m October. Had a foot injury all week and thought it was better. Currently icing my ankle with a toddler passes out on my chest. Pretty good day so far. ---

I’ve been working on converting this guy fieri chefs knife into a Japanese style honesuki knife. This is an extremely delicate process, so not to over heat the blade and ruin the temper.

I’ve made a few video edits back when I was in high school and rode bmx, but it’s been about 8or 9 years since then! I really enjoy the process. I’ll shop around for a software tomorrow! Just cause why not lol. Thanks twitch! ---

I’ve been obsessively researching and studying astronomy and astrophotography in anticipation of my first telescope arriving tomorrow! ![20446](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/0/7/f/07f38dc1c0f1b8411c9cf9f639e0acc24e06181a.jpeg) I’ve debated diving into astronomy for many years. (I tend to wiffle and waffle about new hobbies before going in deep.) When I mentioned it to my Dad he told me it was something he had always aspired to learn about but was always intimidated by. Since he and the rest of my family will be staying with me for Thanksgiving and he’s getting older, I decided to take the plunge. Hoping for clear skies tomorrow night. ---

I’ve made the same mistake enough times to know that when I get serious about a new hobby that I inevitably end up all in. (See: yoyos, anodizing, reef aquariums, folding bikes, air rifles, recurve bows, stunt kites, saltwater fishing, watches, fossils, etc, etc.) … unfortunately, this has also become the way I justify over spending. ---

I’ve had the Astronomy bug bite me before too! Get the moons of Jupiter app and you’ll occasionally be able to see Jupiter, one or more of its moons, and its moon shadows cast onto the planet! Provides the greatest sense of depth in planetary objects. The great Orion Nebula is my fav deep space object. Here is my scope! The most fun part is the learning though! ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/0/0/7/0071e39f83afb349c2603ddeefa87514da2029e7.jpeg) ---

Wow that’s awesome Throwing Gnome! I’m really forward to checking out jupiter and its moons. Hopefully my area is not too light polluted because I’d like to be able to observe directly from my backyard. Like you said, the most exciting thing is feeling like there is this whole unexplored subject ahead. Lots to keep me occupied for a long time. ---

Man astronomy is sooo much fun! I took it in high school, and my teacher was incredibly passionate about her work. It really is incredible learning about the universe, kind of mid blowing really! If y’all ever get an opportunity, y’all should come to Texas and go to the McDonald observatory way out near El Paso! It’s so dark out there that you can’t see your feet if you look down at night! ---

Built a new computer and currently finishing up homework. The computer build was a challenge to myself to see how I would handle working with a smaller case and limited options for adding accessories. I’ll post a picture later when I get the chance. ---
