The past few days have been a bit warmer, hovering just above freezing. Most of the snow has melted, but the ground is still wet and the ice is very slowly melting. It also means that there is lots of fog in the mornings. The dog park has been a block of ice which seems to be taking forever to melt, so I try to avoid it if I can. The forecast calls for freezing weather for the next week or so which will make everything slippery again.
The days are slowly getting longer, though it is still dark when Izzy walks to school. I don’t mind walking around the city before sunrise. Växjö is pretty in the dark; lots of Christmas lights are still up. Here are some pictures from my walk yesterday morning with Hoagie.
Workshop Updates
I’m still in a bit of a holding pattern on building furniture until the planer shows up. I was hoping it would be in last week but it didn’t make it. However, I’ve been busy in the shop. I was able to repurpose some lumber to make a set of shelves for the laser engraver and re-assemble the laser engraver. It survived the FedEx trip here. I’m planning on adding some drawers below the shelves if I can figure out the drawer guides that I found laying around. I’ll also add an enclosure for the laser and an air assist. The top shelf has space for a 3D printer if I get around to acquiring one.
