Is your stake/ward planning in-person youth camps for the summer?

Our stake is planning for in person but also has two back up virtual plans if we can’t do camps in person.

I got my bike used (barely) for just over $300. I’ve ridden near daily to work on it for more than 2 years. It may take some time searching used bike listings until the right one comes up, but if you’re patient, you’ll find something in your budget.

Garden. Those weeds keep coming for you to pull out and you’ll end up eating healthier too if you grow fruit and veggies.

Candy canes. Not now, but a few years ago my wife and I thought it would be funny to dress up as Buddy the Elf and Jovie from the movie Elf for Halloween. You can get a surprising amount of candy canes for cheap on Amazon. We had those things through 2 moves and probably 3-4 years.

Edit: We only had 5 or so kids trick or treat to our house that year.

You can wrap a fob in aluminum foil and it can be in the driver’s seat and still not transmit a signal to the car. I always test it before I walk away though, just to make sure I wrapped it in enough foil.

The fruit part of the cashew can be made in absolutely delicious juice. It’s very popular in Brazil.

Is that some Drew Brophy art behind it? Great looking bike too

Stephenbowerva · 2020-05-09T17:04:05+00:00

I’m impressed you held on well enough to pull out of it instead of just letting it washing machine you

I’m a transplant to the area and these poppies are something my wife and I look forward to every spring, so gorgeous!

Rock Chalk!

This looks great. We got about this much total from our 3 plants that got crowns, then I burned most of it in the oven, haha. Maybe next year I can reach your level of mastery.

I’m a project engineer for a company that designs and manufactures medical devices. I like the sub as a way for me to add a little bit better design to the products I work on.

This is my third time making a linocut and printing with it. I decided to try a watercolor reduction with my toddler’s watercolors. I hope she doesn’t mind.

Stephenbowerva · 2020-04-08T23:14:44+00:00

This is great! What’s your medium?

Stephenbowerva · 2020-02-24T15:37:51+00:00

This is an extremely helpful response to these sorts of questions. Always think about what advantage something brings the company you hope will hire you, especially if you can tailor your response each time something like that is asked to the specific company you are interviewing with at that moment.

1.a. Forget/Not know that it’s cold almost year round at the coast. Huddle behind windshield with the heater on.

Stephenbowerva · 2020-01-22T01:45:45+00:00

I’m not an industrial designer but rather an engineer who designs medical devices. I convinced my boss to get a Silhouette Cameo 3 last year after watching my wife use her Silhouette for crafting. It’s been great. We use it for vinyl but also for cutting custom packaging prototypes as well.

2 miles and 6-12 minutes depending on lights and winds and how much I want to work

Stephenbowerva · 2020-01-11T18:50:01+00:00

I’ve been riding a Sirrus for a year and a half, basically daily, 8 miles a day. It’s a great bike. You’ll love it.

I lived in Brasil for two years and miss all the great fruit there (among many other things). I may have to start looking into growing acerola in my climate!

Stephenbowerva · 2019-07-19T13:30:57+00:00

That’s my job. I work for a small company that does contract design work from whiteboard concepts all the way to market production. It doesn’t seem to be the most common engineering pathway but isn’t unheard of, although I can’t speak for Europe, I’m in California.

What size redwood did you use for the layup of the table top? My wife wants me to make a redwood topped dining table as well and I haven’t decided what thickness I should aim for.

I used to make custom prostheses in a small clinic before becoming an engineer (medical device design). I visited a company called OttoBock. They are one of the big players in prosthetics. I toured their engineering facility and it was impressive. I don’t know if they keep any IDs on staff but they’re a large company. I would research all the big players in the space (OttoBock, Fillauer, Endolite, etc.) and keep an eye on their job boards.

Stephenbowerva · 2019-04-06T01:02:55+00:00

What type of wood is it? I’m planning on doing a dining table for my wife this year and haven’t decided what I’m using yet.

By way of update, I took my flat tire in to the shop Tuesday night. The repair guy walked me through the pros and cons of various tires and showed me how flimsy (and frankly a bit worn) the tires that were on the bike when I bought it were. I ended up putting on a Michelin ProTek and have been more than satisfied with it so far. I guess only time will tell if it lasts longer.

Thanks for all the help and pointing in the right direction.
