And the fabric pieces had been done for a while overnight and I pulled them off the plate first thing so I could get more parts printing.

Then at 4:20 I saw the temp was 14.2 with the 0 wind speed gave me two 420s.

It really is a bit silly to me that the temp falls as the sun is beginning to rise over the eastern horizon.

I got the boys to school and then watched as the temp began to slowly climb again. It was 10 am when I finally decided on my morning ride instead of run. So I got super bundled up and went for a ride to the train tracks and back.

Many layers and goggles was the only way I could manage it and it was still seriously cold. My toes were really cold despite wearing windproof shoes. It was just seriously cold. And going 10+ mph made the windchill even colder.

I got to the tracks which is about 2.25 miles out then headed back.

Almost a 5 mile ride with a top speed of just shy of 20 mph.

When I got back to the house the next sheet was done printing.

Eventually I managed to get my watercolor prompt done for crayons. This is how crayons look in this house, ALL BROKEN. R has a knack for turning them into shapes OTHER than crayon shaped...

Finally called Avista about the power line and they sent a crew out quickly. They used pole saws to deal with the tree and limbs and had the line clear within about 40 minutes. I worked on cleaning outside the back door some while they worked. I have limbs and tree debris to clean up now but the line is clear. I am now printing plastic carabiners to use to run my tag line to bring in the fiber line.

The boys home from school I managed to get my other watercolors done quick before I had to go make dinner.

Dropped R at practice then @stryeyz and I went to Los Tres Potrillos in Elk for drinks and an appetizer for a date. Got back with ample time to watch the end of practice. R is one of hte older kids in the group now and is doing a good job of trying to set the example of being attentive and practicing.

Home to pull the next sheets off the printer. I let it sit over night but have it already working on the carabiners for the tag line run.

Up at 3:30am again today, the #3dprinter is going, boys to school in a few hours, weekly session this morning, then going to see about my foot issue, then will hopefully be able to run the tag line out to the road, have all my daily stuff to do but may have to do a ride mid day instead of this morning as time will be crunched. Motivation is a bit waning at the moment with the constant pain in my body so hopefully the appt this morning will give me a couple answers.
