By the grace of God today I celebrate 18 years completely clean and sober.

18 years and a few days ago I tripped up the stairs and shouted to God that "He needed to take care of this!" Oh, and boy did He ever. In less than a day I was ordered to go to rehab, and there I found a real solution, and I've worked to follow that path and honor the freedom that I've been given. It was hard in that 6-month program. There was a lot of me that needed changing, and not just with the dope and booze problem! But that initial stint was just the beginning. Today I have the unimaginable; A family, a wonderful wife, a bit of security, and even car insurance! Life is so wonderful, and can be so beautiful! Today gratitude is action and I strive to continue to grow!

EDIT: Just wanted to add I know the god thing is hard for some. I understand, it's become harder for me. My beliefs are wildly different than when I first arrived! But that's also an amazing thing, we can evolve!

Really loving these FP replacement mainboards. If you remove the resistor labeled RJ you can also re-enable TMSS.

I like servicing Game Gears. The chances of finding cockroaches is surprisingly low.

Made My Pirate Belt Buckle Adapter Even More Ridiculous... It Spins on Bearings Now!

After some feedback (and because I can't leave well enough alone), I updated my model with a print profile which has an center hub that accepts a 6702ZZ ball bearing.

There's still the original print profile, but with the bearing.. it's much smoother sailing! 🏴‍☠️

Finally, the oldest pirate joke is a 3d printable prop and "It's driving me nuts!"

To make it look like weathered wood, I printed it in light brown PLA, dry-brushed it with a dark wood varnish, and wrapped each spoke with nylon cord. It came out looking far better than I expected!

Fair warning: if you wear this to a Ren Faire, be prepared to tell the joke... a lot. 🏴‍☠️

A custom (by me) pinata for my Tugs-obsessed 11yo's birthday party!

I've got a wierd sound-thing-problem happening on a USA VA6 after the MegaSwitch HD install. Just wanted to see if anyone has seen something similar. the "SEGA" doesn't play 3 of 4 times and sound is overdiven/wacky. Bonus, inputs seem to be getting noise too.
