Safely home from IRI, before 11:30 pm.

My wife and I (as a civilian, not a volunteer) visited the Detroit Zoo yesterday. We got to see the baby giraffe and baby chimpanzee.

Today we are going to a family reunion with her cousins that we haven’t seen for many years.

My newest hot sauce was finally approved by the state. I made the first batch yesterday—figured it was enough to last a month, maybe—and put it on sale last night after dinner.

It’s half gone!

The new Bambu X1C 3D printer was delivered to the school and was picked up by one of the students.

The team conducted a session of basic electrical training oriented towards general team members.

They made good progress on assembling the Thriftybot elevator kit.

The electrical group are almost finished assembling the programming panel for the programmers to do their initial testing.

The construction of the new robot storage cabinet is nearing completion.

On the weekend, I went to a local town square for one of a series of free concerts, this one a Chicago cover band.
