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 :>.

Out of frame, Kim speaks and says "He's angry cause i dragged him out here!". Sy is looking very irritated, and is saying "OooOooOh giant trees!! What's the big fucking deal?!"

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!

"Stop it, you look like a lizard." 🦎 #finishit

Sy sticking his tongue out and saying, "he should have asked someone else then~!". Our of frame, Kim replies, "Stop it, you look like a lizard."

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.

I knew i wouldn't finish this Hakum comic sequence, but I did advance 6 1/2 pages out of 13... :P... certainly not nothing!

#finishit

Sy and Kim looking at someone who is walking away that we cant see. Sy says, "Man! That guy was CUT though! Real beefcake!" Kim says, "Oooh that's his nickname now!" Second panel, Sy and Kim are both grinning devilishly and saying together "Beefcake's goin' down."

@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
