#Caturday is the perfect time to inspect the completed parts of a #3dprinting project. Only one batch left to go, anyone recognize what it will be?

Yet another #caturday with the printer #3dprinting and a nice, warm place to nap.

A Standard Issue Cat resting in the sun, his front legs splayed out like chicken wings.

Not quite a loafcat, but a #caturday chicken impression.

Tonight's view of the launch of IM-2 and NASA's Lunar Trailblazer aboard a Falcon 9.

The printer from last week has been completed and is already serving as a warm place to rest this #caturday. At least when #3dprinting with the chamber heated.

It was a random color when I ordered, ended up looking really nice. Its kinda muted irl.

Its #caturday and the weekend, and that means its time to finish assembling the printer.

Yet another rocket launch. Its almost as if they happen a few times per week.

Falcon 9 boostback burn shortly after stage separation.

A couple of photos of tonight's #Falcon9 launch. Sadly, no audible sonic booms from the returning booster here.

Weekends are good for resting.

A night launch of a rocket, reflecting off a pond in the foreground.

Pretty decent view of today's #Falcon9 launch. Rockets are neat.

A cat and a printer. One of them has been uncooperative.

Pretty sure this one print was enough to make the 3d printer worth setting up.

Napping adjacent to the afternoon sun.

A standard issue cat staring at the camera with a glare.

Here's a cat. He's judging you, mostly for disturbing his nap.

Aww, they cut the feed before the Booster tipped over and underwent RUD.

Its days like today that remind me of the failwhale from years past. A moment in time when that other site felt like this one does now.

Is there a tweetdeck-like multi-column interface for bluesky yet, preferably with multi-account support?

New basket, currently occupied.

A Standard Issue Cat sitting on a desk, staring at something in the distance.

He's discovered something interesting in the distance (its the weather frog on the smart home display on the shelf)

A standard issue cat on a cat tree playing with a string toy.

The "challenge" of trying to grab the string toy from the other side requires contorting into the oddest of positions.

A standard issue cat playing with a toy sloth.

The "challenge" of fighting the toy around an obstacle is more fun.
He will intentionally grab it from the far side of a door or table (or chair) leg.

Partial solar eclipse.

Eclipse glasses + cellphone = decent image. Couldn't travel to totality this time.

A night time rocket launch over water.

Ended up driving out for the SpaceX/NASA Crew-8 launch this evening. It was a pretty good view.

Rascal stretched out in a way only a cat can.

A Standard Issue Cat lounging on the build plate of a 3d printer under construction.

Made progress on the printer; got the gantry "flying" on its z-belts. No thanks to Rascal.

There's a reason why I haven't worked on building this printer today.

Standard Issue cat sprawled out in an awkward pose against a computer tower.

Its probably comfortable, despite how awkward it looks.
