Finally made the soap stamps for @MareFair sponsor soap bars yesterday. Today I'm making the first two batches of soap.

They ordered 9-10 batches of soap which would be 76-85lbs of oil made into soap.
Hopefully the stamps work out (I think they will)

another prototype product in the works. this is early prototype stage, and will change quite a bit, wanted to get the overall size and shape cut out first to make sure it works before cutting out fun pony things and made out of expensive stainless steel. everything will be made in USA, even the stainless steel and suction cups.

trying to get this completed for marefair.

changing a timing belt, wish me luck
going to look at an oil leak on the power steering pump too. not sure where it is, but I'll find it.

@pylony made myself some strawberry shortcake for my birthday

Now imagine all that on Octavia's ass.
Whew.

I would like to take a moment to say that I am pleased that I successfully built my own router with OpnSense, got the SFP28 fiber network card working on my server, updated proxmox to the latest version of debian, and successfully fired up one of the old containers already on it.

Took two days to do all that, but things are configured very nicely.
Thank you @sparkler for the proxmox help.

Next week maybe I'll set up matrix or something just as useful.

Alright guys, trying something different, and I've never done it before.
Pickles!
Specifically the fermented kind. Most store bought is using vinegar, but its healthier to ferment.

We'll see how it goes. Cut them rather thicc, but enh, should be fine. I made sure that the cucumbers were firm, so they shouldn't get too mushy according to what I've read.

I'll take more pictures as the process moves along.
