Cold (53) and foggy here... Should only get into the mid-60s and might have a little rain later. 

We're supposed to go to Long Beach for dinner and then to stroll around Naples for the Christmas lights... Hoping we avoid rain for that.

This is my brother-in-law's compound (RIP) but my SIL still lives there. Broadway and Covina. We would walk to Naples and see the lights by boat. Very cool evening.

This cool project is called "PETFusion 2.0" and comes to us via Creative3DP. It's a pretty ingenious device: you give it a dry, clean PET bottle, and it will slowly unravel it into a thin strip. This strip is then fed through a colorizer before it's turned into a colored filament you can use in your next 3D print.

As you can tell by the name, this isn't the first PETFusion to hit the market; Creative3DP claims that this improved version makes the process faster and easier. It also comes with some interesting new additions:

This upgraded version integrates multiple cutting-edge features, including a separate motorized bottle cutter, dual hotends for simultaneous extrusion, a filament welder for creating seamless spools, and an improved ink-based filament colorizer. By using a single motor to power both the filament pulling and the filament cutter, PETFusion 2.0 achieves exceptional efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and compactness, making it the ultimate PET bottle recycling solution.

PET, for those wondering, is the plastic used to make soda bottles (and polyester clothing items).  Milk jugs are different (PE).  Milk jug caps are different (PP).  Those white foam packing stuff is different (PS).  Nylon is different.  Rayon is different.

The worst death toll in the United States for a winter storm occurred in The Great Blizzard of 1888 in the Northeast. Over March 11–14, the blizzard dropped between 40–50 inches of snow in parts of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Massachusetts. It blocked roads and wiped out telephone, telegraph, and rail service for days. It was responsible for over 400 deaths (200 in New York alone) and sank 200 ships. New York and Boston created the first underground subway system partly in response to the massive 1888 storm and the gridlock it created.

We're leaving for Orlando Jan 8 to prepare for baseball the next week, so we're going the right direction.  And yes, I've been working pretty hard over the year, but the weather here often is not conducive to running outside.

This seems to happen a lot.
