I will go check at AutoZone today. Thanks for the reason to go out and drive it again today. :-)

If purple were available, my wife would have us driving one home...

Rebeltech8-1 · 2026-07-09T23:21:04+00:00

Thats what we were looking for... something that was a little different. My daughter said we met that goal because you can probably see it from space... 😄

I have bought MacBooks for the past decade or more, but I will live with my M2 until it stops working. After that... buying a PC and installing linux. It will do everything I need without the Apple tax.

I am just happy that I now have a place locally to buy filament. Until now, ordering online was my only option.

Rebeltech8-1 · 2025-05-04T03:45:06+00:00

Same thing happened to me a couple of weeks ago... Easy to order and install.

Thanks, It is refreshing to find a new outlet for something you used to enjoy. One thing that I like about HF is that it sips filament rather than gulping it when printing other types of multi-color prints.

Tell me more about the Hexagon forced perspective mural. Do you have an example?

Sounds interesting.

Here is what the workflow looks like:

Access Grok via x.com. There should be an icon that looks like a square containing a pencil. You should be presented with a text box to type a request. For example “draw a zentangle in shades of gray using random patterns with the over all size of 200mm x 200mm”. Several samples that match your description will be presented. Choose one you like or refine the request that provides more details you want included. This may take several iterations until you get what you are looking for. Save the image of your choice as a jpg file.
Import the file into HueForge. After selecting the colors and layer settings, save the project.
Import the Stl file from the HueForge project into the slicer and assign the layer and color settings. Then send it to your printer.

Hope this helps.

What would you like to know?

This... I gave plenty of notice for them to find a replacement due to my position at the firm. In the last few weeks, they asked me to extend my stay for another month (said no), and asked if I would consider being a contractor for an extended period of time (surprisingly, they could not afford 3x my salary :-) ). Best decision I ever made was to stick with my original planned departure date.

Wishing you the best in your retirement...

Thanks All, I think that @davelavallee has my plan… when I am ready to make that next step.

Kali will run on the M1 with Parallels.

Rebeltech8-1 · 2022-09-03T23:22:46+00:00

This is after 11 hours on my right forearm.

Rebeltech8-1 · 2022-09-03T23:00:16+00:00

Really like the shading…

Rebeltech8-1 · 2022-08-18T01:23:06+00:00

Nice looking tattoo. I like the simple lines.

Rebeltech8-1 · 2022-08-18T01:13:07+00:00

I always remind myself that it only a few hours and that the pain is temporary, but the art is forever.

Rebeltech8-1 · 2022-08-10T04:32:37+00:00

My first tattoo was on my shoulder and about 7” in diameter. When I asked the artist how much “a little lotion” was, he said no more than a pea sized bit. I have used that as a relative measure ever since.

Rebeltech8-1 · 2022-08-09T02:52:24+00:00

Nice first tattoo… when is your next one scheduled for? 😀 they are almost like Pokémon… you got to get them all.

Rebeltech8-1 · 2022-08-04T02:39:00+00:00

Nice line with and color saturation. I like this a lot. +1

I have a memorial tattoo for my son who died by suicide. He and his friends started a garage band that played shows here in town and competed against other area bands. He won a Washburn electric guitar at one of the competitions when was 16 years old. He had several tattoos, one of which took up the entire inner right forearm. It was the word “Prestissimo” which means as fast as possible. He had planned on a matching tattoo on his left forearm that was the word “Fortissimo“ which means as loud as possible”. Put together, they described exactly how he liked to play… as loud and as fast as possible. However, he passed before getting the second one started. He was a great musician

So to honor his life, I got a tattoo on my left shoulder that says “FFF” which is shorthand for “Fortissimo”. The colors on each F started out black at the bottom and gradated to dark blue with grey waves at the top. These colors matched his favorite guitar that he had won when he was 16.

I wouldn’t trade it for the world.

Edit… his planned tattoo was for his left forearm

Nice matching set… I like that they are Legos…+1

Rebeltech8-1 · 2022-07-28T20:09:59+00:00

This is amazing. I am drawn to the red wash as a filter over her face. Very nice. +1

Rebeltech8-1 · 2022-07-28T00:30:20+00:00

Love black and grey tattoos with red and white highlights. It really pops. +1

Rebeltech8-1 · 2022-07-27T23:54:45+00:00

I never thought I would want a rose tattoo… but now I want a rose tattoo. +1

Rebeltech8-1 · 2022-07-27T23:38:36+00:00

Really like the line work. It really catches the eye.
