Sorry folks, I got back from a work trip and am also getting over a cold. This is the first day that I feel well enough to use my computer, so I'll continue with redraws. So far, most of the keys have been claimed but others have not gotten back to me within the 48 hours.

I'm researching getting into 3D printing. My spouse is sort of on board, because they think about the cool things they can do with it. We'd love to print some cool stuff to solve mini problems, but also for the reward of designing and building things ourselves.
Congrats on your bike, that sounds like a really fun and cool project!
I used to want a bike and loved the idea of one. Bikes, as an adult, is something I can't get into. I wanted to get a sportbike when I was 19 or so, but around then I met my spouse and they told me about their dad's accident on a bike. The dad was a Navy military person, super into safety. He wore full padded armor, helmet, the works. He was stopped at a light and behind a car. Then a car rear-ended him. He ended up being propelled over the car in front of him and landed in the intersection. Broke his leg, broke a few ribs, messed up his knee, and now he has continued pain he deals with. He wouldn't be alive if he wasn't wearing all the proper armor while biking. And then I see bikers on the road without helmets and wearing a tee shirt and jeans LOL. They're playing a dangerous game. So unfortunately, bikes are now no longer for me!
I haven't learned how to make my own 3D models yet, just slightly modify some existing ones. My fiance and I are planning on enrolling in s class for 3D modeling so we can both learn how to do it. There are still so many useful things you can find though. I was surprised how much more than just download the file and hit print there was to it.
The Samurai is like a smaller Jeep Wrangler. I like going off-roading a lot. Mostly got the Samurai as a backup vehicle for when I've got bigger projects on my 4Runner going and can't drive it.
I've considered getting a bike before but would rather put the money into my other vehicles. We've had a few bikers in my town learn the hard way how dangerous it is to not be careful. One of my coworkers pulled out in front of someone thinking they'd be able to accelerate fast enough to avoid them and ended up getting t-boned, luckily the bike was more hurt than he was. Another coworker left work in the rain and tried to take off super fast out of the parking lot, lost control, and rear ended a parked semi. He broke both legs and his pelvis, it will be 10 weeks before he can start putting weight on them again, and then he can start physical therapy to learn how to walk again. I've seen 2-3 other news articles about similar incidents the last couple months too.
