My uncle is a fire investigator. He was telling me you would not believe the amount of soot a scented candle puts into the air

Back from a (model car) racing week-end in Baden-Württemberg and my 'unread posts' page is rather full. Good to see the forum is getting some traction :-P

Saw the feinstaub-alarm on the highway. The weather we have these days is 'favorable' to temperature inversion :-(

Well I managed to spend some quality time on my friend's cnc machine and make some robot parts last night. There's something mesmerizing and relaxing about watching a mill fling metal chips around

A strange day, to be honest. Plans for the monts of may have to change: the Postmodern Jukebox concert in Moscow was canceled, and will have to go to Helsinki. And it's a bit out of my budget.

This is my version of the data panel that is behind one of the doors in R2's body.

Another member of the club makes a laser-cut plastic one, but I preferred aluminum for something electronics would mount to

A club member makes a PCB board with LEDs that fits into this

Looking at the map I actually though Baikonur was more in the north -- Improving my geography ;)

Looking at the 'finish' of the pockets and the borders it looks like the tool is not in optimal shape ;)

But it was not a criticism -- nice work
