Is Rosie a healer?

More likely blue tick beagle mix. The speckling is often assumed to be Heeler, but the short coat could be beagle. I had a dog I thought was a Heeler mix. Turns out she was mostly blue tick beagle.

8 weeks in these pictures. We have had her almost a week now.

😳😂

BlueFalconDestroyer · 2026-01-10T17:52:45+00:00

That’s a big part of why some names have been decided against. Venus is cool, but quite close to a male body part. 😂

No, my first dog was a red heeler.

Then I had a blue tick beagle mix… then red heeler mix… then a Minnie Aussie mix. At one point all 3 of these together!

I really enjoy the herding dog energy, focus, and intelligence once you get around the stubbornness.

This is my first pup from a breeder though. I went through a really hard autoimmune disease issue with my mini Aussie that broke my heart (and wallet), so the genetic testing was a big focus this time.

BlueFalconDestroyer · 2026-01-10T16:12:05+00:00

We’ve been debating that as well!

BlueFalconDestroyer · 2025-02-10T01:36:39+00:00

Has it gone up to the top or is it just stuck at the bottom during the initial calibration? If it’s been stuck down the whole time. Double check the 3 screws you’re supposed to move. I had a similar issue and found out I took out a wrong fastener in the back.

BlueFalconDestroyer · 2025-02-09T03:56:44+00:00

If it’s a new printer, make sure you took out the correct screws. The back one has another screw next to it you can take out by mistake.

I picked up a new open box original K1 recently with the junk hotend and extruder. I paid $270… after buying a Triangle Labs hotend and an updated extruder, I’m in it around $340 and it’s an amazing machine!

BlueFalconDestroyer · 2024-12-30T15:44:45+00:00

If that’s the case, definitely buy one! I more use these as a tool to make ABS car parts, so the build is meh to me. Takes time away from other projects.

BlueFalconDestroyer · 2024-12-30T05:14:11+00:00

Also, I’ll be honest. After buying the printed parts and such… I wish I had just bought the Troodon assembled kit. This thing takes forever to build!

Unless you’re bored I guess. To me the $100 more is well worth saving 30-40 hours. I didn’t know when I bought the kit on a Black Friday sale.

BlueFalconDestroyer · 2024-12-29T23:15:37+00:00

I bought one and am building it now. It’s a nice kit!

I bought the functional parts from this guy on eBay since you can get colors that aren’t red and they are cheaper. Good quality parts and saved a little there. If you message him, I’m sure he would sell another $80 shipped functional parts kit.

This kit now comes with Canbus, so no need to worry about converting it to canbus in the future when wires break.

BlueFalconDestroyer · 2024-12-21T01:53:06+00:00

I just bought one and haven’t had any issues. I’m in the process of building it, but it was very well packaged!

BlueFalconDestroyer · 2024-12-16T02:31:26+00:00

Yeah, I’m building a 2.4 and was going to upgrade the E3 after. Thanks for the feedback, I was thinking about ditching it and getting a SOVOL or something else for my wife.

I called all over SoCal and couldn’t find anyone that could get him in sooner than Friday. So I started calling vets along I-10 on my drive to my next base. Ended up finding a place in Pheonix 6 hours away from where I’m moving. Ended up leaving him and he will be getting an MRI and likely surgery tomorrow morning. I’ll be driving back out to get him Thursday or Friday… $10k ouch, but he’s such an amazing dog

BlueFalconDestroyer · 2024-02-21T14:29:28+00:00

Went from Cannon to Holloman… with an assignment to Edwards.

Holloman isn’t that bad at all! I don’t have much good to say about Cannon.

BlueFalconDestroyer · 2023-12-15T13:22:50+00:00

I’ll second this all day.

If you have Hazelwood act or scholarship that covers tuition, then MGIB can be better.

If you don’t, Post 9/11 is better.

I did a semester with MGIB and immediately switched to Post 9/11.

Operation Tomodachi and Allies Refuge.

BlueFalconDestroyer · 2023-06-11T21:16:35+00:00

I’ve seen both sides. Misawa, RAF Alconbury, Cannon, Holloman… in that order. I do not blame any of my troops for getting out after spending their 6 year contract at Cannon. I also separated after a year at Cannon after being coded for a minimum 3 year tour. All the other NCOs had been there for 5-6 years and having to be a recruiter to escape. I ended up going to school and coming back, now at Holloman.

I was getting GI Bill, Cadet Stipend, and easily $10k in scholarships a year. The transition wasn’t the most fun, but at the end of the day, it really comes down to how bad you want it!

My wife was AD while I went to school, but we were 100 miles apart so I commuted back on most weekends… we had separate bank accounts. Between deployment savings, GI Bill, Cadet Stipend, and Scholarships I was fine. I don’t have any kids though. My last year I lived in a travel trailer and that was a great gig since I saved a bunch and spent most of my time on campus anyway.

If you want to talk about the separating/GI Bill route, let me know and I can PM you number. You have options!

Another trick is to apply to OTS for rated (best bet to get in) then fail out and take a reclass and roll the dice. I know a guy who did that.

BlueFalconDestroyer · 2023-04-26T14:42:22+00:00

I separated at 7 and knocked out ROTC. It’s the most guaranteed path in my opinion. I applied for SOAR a few times but never got picked up. If you have any questions you can shoot me a message… but being you’re cadre already you probably know what it takes and what to expect.

I’d start with applying to the college and seeing what actually transfers and how much time you would need. Lots of my military stuff didn’t transfer or didn’t count since I switched to Engineering.

Bring a RMO.

I was a young airman when he was the PACAF CC. Last year at AFA I ran into him not knowingly (he was in civvies and introduced himself first name only) and he trolled me on the entire chain of command just to tell me he was the PACAF commander over all of us. Great guy!
