What’s Jim been 3D printing lately? The Star Wars logo sign is really fun. If you flip on its side, it’s scenes from the movies(AT-AT, Vader/Luke Saber fight, Bobs Fett) but if you flip it again it shows as Star Wars. The last photo is a 9mm ammo can. It holds 50 rounds. Made it for a buddy of mine

I was called “Mr Jim” this morning and I immediately looked for my Father.

Me and John before he kicks off SqlCon with his session on “Exploring Optimized Locking in SQL Server 2025”! One of my favorite people! @sqlrus.bsky.social

Azure SQL Database Hyperscale, you say? Come to my talk on Friday (8:00 am, I know, so early) to learn all about it! Real customer stories included! #FABCONSQLCON26

I’m 100 lbs lighter too. Lol.

I’m incognito

Look at this setup. It’s so pretty. Did you expect anything less from a retro video game nerd? 😹

It’s been a hard few months. I’ve been wanting to get this for a long time and I finally just said “fuck it” and got it done. If you know, you know.

What have I been up to lately? Well, I got me a 3D printer for Christmas and I’ve been acting like a little kid. Today’s print was inspired by my Grandpap and my Wife’s cousin.

Somebody is enjoying the fireplace on these freaking cold winter evenings!

I’m jealous!

If I told yinz guys I got this shirt as a bday present from my Mom when I turned 30 and it stopped fitting by 33, would you believe me? It’s baggy on me now. I’ve lost close to 100 lbs over the past 16 months.

Those lights are super bright. I was getting ready to start a print. The light that comes inside is pretty useless IMO. I had to get a dryer for my filament in the AMS because I have a humidity issue in my house. But looooove this thing. So many things to print.

Hit me up too! I just got a Bambu P1S and love it!

Don’t forget the TP!

Woke up to being another year older and…bald! Took the day off to be with family and get the homestead ready for this winter storm that’s coming!

This reminds me of that episode of “Band Of Brothers” when they are walking through the woods after Bastogne and the one soldier asks the other if it reminds him of Bastogne. The other soldier replies “besides the trees not exploding…”.

Nah, down for me too over in Pittsburgh.

Tell me the NFL ain’t scripted after watching that PIT vs BLT game. 😹😹

Some old school table top fun is on today’s agenda.

Watching old home videos with family while I lit a fire and did NOT smoke out the house this time!

Yeah, all good

Yeah. Just smelly lol.

Yeahhhhhhhhhh. It’s like Willie Nelson was here.

So, when using the fireplace in your house, apparently there’s a thing called a flu that has to be open? Whoops!

Hello friends!! We are writing out our Christmas cards - little late this year thanks to me forgetting where I stashed the box when we moved.

If you would like a Christmas card from me and Mrs. Flops, send me an address and you shall receive. ❤️

We gotta catch up buddy.
