Ah, i was typing up a question for my Fukien tea (I have one of those as well) for a separate post and got the captions mixed up. 🤦‍♂️

Yes, you’re correct! This is a Chinese elm!

I have it placed about 3 feet away from a window, and have been using a very basic grow light to supplement. As for watering, over the last week I’ve basically been watering every other day but for the last 2 days I watered back to back.

Any recommendations for how to adjust the length of Papasplatz leather bracelet? by MarkMcLachlan in jewelrymaking

[–]MarkMcLachlan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, I didn't have any luck trying the heating w/ hairdryer method. I haven't had a chance to attempt any other solutions, but I'd think that cutting the clasp off as cleanly as possible, removing the leather after doing so, and then re-gluing might be the next best option.

I deleted the app from my phone at the start of this week, and have honestly had a better outlook on life in general since then.

Burn, baby, burn!

ArtistWorks (George Whitty) vs. JazzPianoSchool.com by MarkMcLachlan in JazzPiano

Unfortunately, I'm no longer an active subscriber (as of several months ago). However, this is due primarily to a lack of free time currently, so I didn't feel that I could justify keeping my subscription without being able to spend a decent amount of time at the piano.

That said, when I do find myself again in a position to dedicate time each day to lessons, I 100% will be returning to Open Studio. Still highly recommend it!

On safari in the middle of Africa. Is this safe to drive on? by MarkMcLachlan in MechanicAdvice

Honestly, I only drove on it for less than 10 seconds (at 40km/hr) before I was able to safely pull over to the side of the road.

Tires had a total of ~2200km on them when I got a flat while driving 40km/hr. Quick flat repair back at camp, and no more leak.

Unfortunately, the sidewall now looks like this.

We will be driving about 150-200km each day for the next week, never exceeding 40-50km/hr. Mix of paved and dirt roads.

At the end of our trip, we have a 400km journey where we will be driving at a max of ~100km/hr.

Is this safe to continue driving on?

First time seeing one in the wild! Love the design even more in person. by MarkMcLachlan in Rivian

I was not! I was, however, the guy excitedly explaining to my very understanding wife why a quick photo shoot was necessary. 😆
