Weekly Wins 6-23-2023

Sorry, I enjoy making these threads it makes me reflect on the last week so, no swiping Mr Heard :stuck_out_tongue:

Y’all know the deal - what went well? Dog pictures? What are you proud of or excited for… take your pick. Just share whatever is making you happy.


My win - Got a design doc done at work. I think it’s fairly clear, the work is scoped, and estimated.

My wife and I just finished 3 batches of jam: Strawberry, Strawberry/Rhubarb, and Strawberry/Blueberry.

Note to self for next year: We don’t need a full flat (8 quarts) of strawberries. Especially not when the farmer at the farm market dumps 3 or 4 quarts of yesterday’s berries on top, since “you’re just going to smash them up”.

My dog got a clean bill of health from the vet this week! She had knee surgery 8 weeks ago and at her final check-up/x-ray yesterday they said she is all clear to go back to her normal activities (including going on the couch, which she has missed desperately during her recovery).


Pictured: VERY sleepy from the x-ray sedation!

Pikes peak via the cog railway. I know you, too, want to know: 10 pinion gears and diesel-electric-AC traction motors. The rack has some odd undercutting…

I had a very busy week, did a lot of walking, had a wonderful time at our alumni gathering yesterday, had an enjoyable poker night with friends, and finally started attempting to understand and use online dating apps.

Ad for Tram34 - A locally designed, mostly locally manufactured future tramway vehicle, made by our metro operator. (34 is the numerical code for İstanbul Province - also why Metrobüs was route 34 (34, 34AS 34Z etc. etc.)) Set against the backdrop of the Levent financial district


My street as I walked home at like 3 am, lively, colorful, and celebrating the win of Galatasaray from a few weeks ago with flags still.

A quiet week at work:
–Repairing last week’s damages, which won’t be as nasty as we thought it would be (win)
–Backup unit is now running and is busy testing improvements (win)
–New concrete mixer is not breaking down like it had been (win)

And at home, finally finished an upgrade I’ve been working on for some of the scale locos. (well… “finished”. I cheated a bit, and still need to fine-tune the speedmatching.)

Bit late to the thread but I’ve been learning a lot about three.js and visualizing robot data. I figured out how to draw live LiDAR data on a 3d map I can move around. I’m really looking forward to using this with FRC next season. This project is for work, but definitely usable outside of what I do for work.

I’ve even gotten it to correlate to a world coordinate pose and orientation that matches my “robot” cube.
