Melted and formed the plastic myself, forgot how much fun HDPE is to turn

Been playing this game literally since the day it came out

But somehow I always get so caught up in the world (taming spirits, hanging out with the villagers, adjusting my deck etc) that I've never gotten around to actually sealing the rift, well today I remedied that, finally!

Was a little underleveled but Dreamp was a champ and the only member of the team who survived after that initial Ray attack o.o

Now to just enjoy moo stone island (and hanging out with my wife. . .Ossono! )

Took my kids to the zoo today and found Lopen's nickname for Red!

On a serious note, I can't recall a time Red and Lopen interacted, lmk if you can remember anything

Been awhile since I played, loaded up a new save on my switch today and. . . Holy holos batman o.o

Managed to find 3 holos by spring 20 without even trying, think I'm using up all my luck on these guys. . .

Kids asked for pizza for dinner tonight

I made them Children of the bagel pizza. . .fence. . . Pun didn't work out as well as I hoped, but they liked the pizza bagels so I'll still call it a win!

Apparently drunk me didn't like the fact that my Sandersville was just stormlight so I ordered a bunch of other books to fill it out. . . .

Think I need to get a bigger shelf, and start hiding my credit card when I've been drinking lmao at least I didn't go for the leather bounds, would have been tough to explain that one to my wife! XD

Learning welding and decided to make myself a little keywork!

Mostly just MIG tack welds, and needs some cleaning up, but pretty happy with it ^^

Flashing D - Transmission troubles? Anyone have experience with this?

2010 fit sport, ~161k miles had it for over a decade but never seen this before. Started when my wife got to work this morning and she's not home yet so haven't had a chance to plug in my code scanner, but does anybody have any insight as to what I might expect? Hoping just doing a fluid flush/fill will take care of it, but worried it could be a bigger problem.

Starting some self learning, just got my mig mix gas for at home and I'm getting these glassy looking spots on my welds, is that from not cleaning my coupons well enough? Or are my settings off and messing with the gas somehow?

Solid core MIG, 300 ips, 20 V

I'll be using .030 flux core mig wire (I don't have a tank of gas to use solid wire mig yet)

While I was experimenting with the welder I found myself burning through the steel pretty frequently. A quick Google search said to set the welder to 16-18V and 160-180 IPM.

Does this sound reasonable for 17 gauge mild steel?

What else should I do to avoid burning holes in these?
