I made a "DayClock" to remind me what day it is.   You can find the details on my GitHub page: https://github.com/phreakmonkey/DayClock

We took the T210 down to Furnace Creek, Death Valley national park. Here's some snapshots in no particular order (LOL): And a video of the landing:

I got kind of tired of rewriting the same OpenSCAD code to build rounded boxes for things and messing up the minkowski sum math in the process, so I built a simple module to do it for me.  Usage is simple: include <rounded_case.scad> rounded_case(25, 25, 10, 2); The paramaters are: rounded_case(X, Y, Z, T, LID , LID_OFFSET ) Where: X, Y, Z : Inside dimensions of box T : Thickness of walls LID : optional, bool : true to also make a lid LID_OFFSET : optional :  how much smaller to make the "lip" of the lid that fits inside the top of the box The outside dimensions of the box will be the inside dimensions + 2 x T.   E.g. if the X dimension is 20mm, and T is 2mm, then the width of the box will be 24mm (20 + 2 + 2).   The example above will make a box that is 29mm x 29mm x 14mm (with the lid on) on the outside, and 25 x 25 x 10 on the inside. Get it here:  rounded_case.scad

I flew down to Lompoc, CA on Sunday with Miles, and our friends the Baalmans (Gary, Laura, & their two kids) to watch the SpaceX Falcon 9 launch at Vandenberg AFB. This was the first Falcon 9 "return to land" on the west coast, and it went spectacularly. We found a great viewing spot along HWY 1 overlooking the launchpad.

A few snapshots from my first couple of months of T210 ownership:

I decided, at long last, it was time to upgrade to something capable of more speed, altitude, and carrying my family.   N6779B is a 1978 Cessna T210M.  It's turbocharged and capable of climbing into the flight levels, so it's much more suitable for getting in and out of the Sierras.  ;) Adventures to come!
