I’m getting to the home stretch on my book. I have all the models (22) designed and folded and all the photography done. I came up with three new models for the book in the last few weeks. Two were the Cuttlefish and Giant Squid, to create a Cephalopod group along with my Octopus. I tried and tried to design a spider but never came up with anything I liked.<\/p>\n
For my last model I designed a Lean-To, to go with the Canoe and Adirondack Chair. I really wanted one more intermediate model. This one clocks in at 34 steps, but most of it is pre-folding and it only takes 10 or 15 minutes to fold. And I got the diagrams done in two evenings! I guess I\u2019m finally getting faster.<\/p>\n
I went over to Bob\u2019s one night last week to finish up the pictures, and they came out great. I have only two more diagrams to finish now, the Squid and the Turkey. They’re both more than halfway done but they\u2019re complex models, so they have a lot of steps. After the last drawings, all that remains is writing the intro and the basic steps.<\/p>\n
In other news, our big Q4 release of my software at work is in QA now. Really looking forward to taking a break.<\/p>\n
Went up and saw Martin and Kathleen yesterday and picked pumpkins and apples and grapes. This seems to have become something of a fall tradition.<\/p>\n
The weather has been really warm thru the end of September, to the point where we still have our air conditioners in. But there\u2019s also been a lot of rain. Warm and humid. Until yesterday, when it got cold all of a sudden. Now it\u2019s only getting up to the 50\u2019s and we\u2019ve had to turn on the heat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
