Idk if this is a hobby, but I caught another stray kitten. This is my third one so far, and it is by far the youngest. I don't have the cash to take it to the vet, but I can at least give it food and teach it what human friendship is before finding it a home.
Look up cat rescues in your area. Some of them might help with free or discounted vet care. Years ago, when I was broke and rescuing, a local group helped take care of most of the bills.
Cleaned up these boots. And I hate speed hooks, so I converted them to D-rings.
How old are those boots and what kind of work do you wear them for?
I just thrifted them, so I don't know how old they are - but Carolina still makes this model, so probably not more than a few yearsv old. The heels are VERY worn, so I'll have my cobbler fix that.
But the uppers are incredibly nice. The leather was pretty dry, so I oiled them a bit, and they softened up quite nicely. They're pretty comfy.
I'll likely keep them as general-purpose boots - friends moving, general outdoor work, etc. - and then wear them just when I feel like wearing a pair of boots.
Still Tuesday here, but I'll jump in. Working on the CAD file for the 3D printed case of my next mechanical keyboard. For this one, I actually designed a super primitive PCB instead of hand-wiring all the keys, and it's on its way from China. I'll still need to wire the Raspberry Pi Pico myself, since I wanted to start by dipping my toe in to see if I could route the switches' matrix and the mounting holes for the diodes I'll need.
I've been playing a lot of Dragon Age Inquisition recently. I dropped it the first time because I got stuck in the first area for days doing pointless side quests. It's clicking a lot better this time. I'm doing the interesting side quests only and mostly focusing on the main story.
Same. But I got bored with it pretty quickly and started Dragon Dogma Dark Arisen.
I have a interview this morning with company A while learnt that I just failed the pre-screening test for company B yesterday.
How'd it go?
The prescreen test is failed. But the interview have no response yet.
Likely failed too. This economic people demand a lot of skill while paying so little.
You know, if all of business become picky when hiring, we can hire for cheap.
Sat down and made a pretty blinky drive access light for one of my retro Macs.
Super happy with how it came out. though finding an appropriately amber LED proved super problematic - they're all "orange" now instead, but eh, close enough.

I've been making a 3D model of the Super Metroid map... in Space Engineers. Lol
It's actually way more complicated than you'd think. It's made me appreciate the game even more.
I made and froze 92 three cheese ravioli, which is tiring, but will be nice for dinner!
Did some writing for a mud I play in, and will probably write more terrible foods into the game!
Revamped my lifting spreadsheet. Tried drawing a bit (haven't drawn seriously in like 5 years). Going to make cherry jam today if I have the energy. 🍒
I heavily mulched our winter squash bed. Embedded a soaker hose underneath. We've already had some hot, dry stretches.
Tested a couple portable recorders with lav mics for a podcast project I've been kicking around.
