Completed Oquonie playthough, found lots of little bugs :>. Will play again later.

Moving onto the solar cooking write-up~! (Already started this a few days ago, but need to add more details, do more research, correct text, add drawings + photos etc).

@vacuumbeef XD! I'm just doing projects I was planning on doing anyway :P... sharing that I'll do something puts pressure on me to do and try to complete said thing :>.

@rek Yeah, I've experienced that recently too, and I absolutely support it.
It's very easy to abort anything if the only person you promised to do something is yourself.

Sy, not a fan of giant trees (Hakum project).

Advanced a lot of the projects in my list today~! Even had time to add a coat of paint over the insulation in the head :>.

Pushed a first version for the solar cooking write up just now:
100r.co/site/cooking.html#sola

And this page which is more specifically about cooking with solar evacuated tubes:
100r.co/site/solar_evacuated_t

Slowly going down my #finishit list :D!

Probably not going to finish the eye splice. I must have re-done it 3 times today(4th time total), and it's *still* not perfect. Getting there though.

I am finding it difficult to keep the strands from unravelling(taped ends, i twist as I tuck), especially after the second tuck. It is murder on my hands, and I broke the tip of my DIY fid XD...

I will practice on small ropes for a little while, and then move back to 12mm (1/2").

@rek Do you work three strand centre strand first, then right, then left? I found that makes a clean splice.

@rek i was wondering if the glass was borosilicate! i have two cups, used for tea, of the same vacuum construction 😊

with some dark interior covering, a lid, and some aluminium as a reflector i bet it could get half-way to steamy inside one of them :3
