He likes to do this every day. He follows birds and squirrels everywhere they go on screen, he has even looked behind the tv at first. He is extemely focused when doing this.

Archie (7 months) running @ French coast near Dunkirque

He seems to enjoy it 😄

when I‘m here I always can’t help to think about 🇺🇸🦅 having once stormed the beaches and helped out the people over here. 🫡

Universal rocket tools? (3lb)

Hi people,

about 15 years ago I bought these 3lb rocket tools from Rich Wolter pyro tools. I have made whistle rockets with it. After years I dug them up again, and now I realize, or I think I do, they were Universal/Hybrid tools? Can anyone concur? I thought I only had a 3 lb whistle set and wanted to buy a new set for 3 lb Blackpowder rockets. But to my, I hope pleasant surprise, I can make Blackpowder core burner motors with these? Just want to be extra sure! Thank you.

Archie puppy check tip top

doc: we see a happy and cheerful dog, teeth great, coat great, weight great, all is great.

he is so smart; he gently took my wifes finger in his mouth and guided her along and pointed her finger all the way on top of his ball; “throw the ball please“ 😝

Designed and printed a 5” hemi set

3d printing OPENS UP a world of possibilities. Stoked! (designed in FreeCad)

EDIT: I am a seasoned pyro, posted some shells and rockets here, always used cardboard hemis, whilst having experimented with factory plastics etc like hemis, bombettes, mines what have you. But I had no hemis yesterday, just a laptop and a 3d printer, and most importantly: my newly learnt and improving CAD skills. That’s the real awesome part. And PLA is not like normal plastic ofcourse in terms of biodegradeabillity. In terms of break, we are now talking layer lines etc, all knowledge on normal injected hard plastic shells can not simply pasted over to PLA and the way the prints are constructed.

we’re both lucky to be able to do this every day. I work at home so he is never alone.

Archie passed the first puppy course today. Instructor is amazed by his intelligence.

I gave him a huge piece of half grilled unseasoned picanha for his accomplishments.

Archie, 20 weeks.

Born in winter 2025, now enjoying spring.
He is a dream. He is 100% problem-free. I have never seen anything like this — so smart. He sleeps alone in the living room, no crate. No pee, no poo. Best in puppy school.

The instructor absolutely loves him and secretly favors him. I am 45, and I will see how many Kelpies can still fit within my life.

He enriched our family after the loss of our little 15 year old Chihuahua–Schnauzer, who was the bravest of all. Tough as a nail, highly energetic, that little rascal. 🥲 Every day people would say, “Is that a German Shepherd pup?” 🥹 Dammit, I’m choking up.

Welcome, Archie!
