piano adventure!! #

Rhiannon and I went on an adventure to get a piano for the theater this morning. It was a nice ride down to a cool church campus. We meet the kindest gentleman there, probably early 20s, he was gutting out everything they didn’t use so they could build out a new youth center with the proceeds.

It fit!!

Teamwork

We didn’t measure anything before we left. The studio already has one of the same model that is broken. We just looked at it and gave it the ol that’l fit

Theater #

Back at the theater we unloaded the piano, and with less risk to break the old one we cracked it open. And to our lack of surprise we found the key was broken.

This is the stuck key.

models app progress #

The models app is working, I forgot that I had half of these models. Theres so much here that I’ve printed or modeled and just plain forgot about, its nice tobe able to see the thumbnails of everything and attempt to find them.

Work in progress on hosting stl models in my homelab.
