January 1, 2022. A start of a fresh year to go and explore. Probably just more of the same activity for me. My fun comes from my creative hobbies. Mid year I should have a new 3D printer toy to explore. The Tiertime Cetus2, a dual filament single nozzle FDM. Until then I have plenty of other toys around here, with which to play. My Peripheral Neuropathy (PN) is progressing and my walking is getting...

It’s for all the folks making needless piles of junk items with CNC machines just because they can. There may be uses for the Junque but it is very trivial. It started when CNC controlled 3D printing took...
