    Very nice, well done! It reminds me of a "logo" I burn into slingshot handles when I make one.

    Thanks OS. The usual from my shop is laser pyrography, but this is mixed media. Multi layered cardboard cut and glued on to stained wood and repurposed fence wire. The third dimension added by the depth of the cardboard was one of my goals.

    Sadly that do not seem like my family, where people drift apart ASAP, and mind you for no reason, its not like we get in each others hair all the time.
    BUT ! i still like the design / concept, that is the way it should be,,,, family first.

    New product from the Lazer lab. Leather Patch on stainless steel tumbler. I like this one a lot. The leather takes a little less power, so this prototype is a bit over exposed.

    My niece have gone totally horse bonkers,,,,, though this is not uncommon for females in my family,
    They got 2 horses while in their old house a grown male and a female foal, then they moved to a new house in late spring, and now a #3 horse are ordered, and one that is knocked up on delivery.

    I am thinking, even if i have always said " no way will you get me on the back of a horse " then i am thinking now, maybe niece can teach old uncle to ride, before he is wayyyyy too old to even get up on a horse without needing a crane like device.

    She performed an original poem and that sealed the deal. We now have Rodeo Royalty in the family. Nice work, bean bear.

    More fun with the laser engraver. Got a new 24v 10watt output head for the machine. I can engrave some metals without having to apply a pre treatment. Easier, faster, cleaner and no off gassing. Very happy!!

    I have been eyeballing new and " cheap " laser cutter / engravers, very cool kit.

    O and THX for reminding me with the pic of a glass / cup, i have said i would toast the Danish 2 X winner of that French pedal pusher fest with a beer, so i got me one of those yesterday.
    I think it will be the first time in 25 years i drink beer, CUZ i never really liked the stuff.

    But i aint no politicians, so i made a promise and even if it was just to myself, i fully intend to keep it

    I think the software package is really more important than the hardware, for laser work. I highly recommend the Lightburn program. It is not expensive and the ease of use and the flexibility is top-notch. Even though it has a yearly subscription, I do happily pay for the privilege. Message me if you want to talk more about lasers.

    Salute!

    It was a good week at the Whittington Center, despite the hail, yearly rain total in 4 days and a small tornado.

    My two girls participate in YHEC, a shooting and hunting challenge sponsored by the NRA. Little one shot 2 personal records and scored well overall.

    The older one finished her YHEC career on the way to college. She went out with a bang. She placed in the top 5 in 3 out of 8 contests, 5th high individual score total and her squad took overall point championship. With that highpoint win, the squad has a paid entry into the National YHEC.

    I am very proud of both gurlz.

    Graduation party tomorrow. Got the food started. 17# brisket, seasoned with PSG and will use the tinfoil boat method once internal temps hit 185.

    1c. pepper
    1/2c. coarse ground salt
    1/4c. Garlic

    4h at 275
    4-6h at 325 (up to 185f internal)
    Foil wrap with top exposed, finish low heat until fat renders. Trimmings cooked down for BBQ sauce base. (Everything I know I stole from the 'net 😉)

    Taking a short break from the shooting bench. Nutrition before the mission.

    Black pepper
    Butter
    Salt
    Parmesan cheese
    Garlic
    Jalapeno

    Sear on high, flip sear on high. Finish on indirect heat. Life is good!

    We or should i say my friend are avid BBQ users, i have seen my friend hovering over the BBQ on both X mas evening and new years evening, and during it snowing and raining.
    It have however been a long time since we transitioned to a propane grill, CUZ the coal way while we still use it on trips with fishing rods or RC cars, then it is a pain in the butt.

    Mind you in the depth of winter in sub zero temperatures on fishing trip with the surf casting rods, well so nice with a little warm food, and after that put glass bottle Coco on the grill to enjoy that warm too.
    A Cocio cold or hot, just about one of the best things in Denmark.

    Happy Spring y'all! I hope to get back on the gun soon. Been busy with family stuff. We are about to let the middle one loose on College life - then it's off to Moo-school for her. Man, the days are long, but the years are fast!

    Shoot'em good amigos :D
