Now the scroll is complete. #calligraphy

[L. Paul Verhage @nearsys]

I'm mostly done with this calligraphy project. I hope by the middle of the week I'll have the rest of it illuminated.

[L. Paul Verhage @nearsys]

Done (after covering up some mistakes). The stained glass sign and frame weigh 6.5 pounds and there are 129 pieces of cut glass. #StainedGlass

@NWSOmaha @NebraskaDOT Finally dry and sunny here in southwest Idaho.

[L. Paul Verhage @nearsys]

I'm doing a #calligraphy project in glass and in ink. Once this is lettered (and I don't make any mistakes) I will add some gold leaf and other illumination.

@jmhannon Are you going to make cabochons?

[L. Paul Verhage @nearsys]

Finished! I still need to solder the back and then clean and scrub both sides. I'll finish the project by making a wooden frame for it. #StainedGlass

[L. Paul Verhage @nearsys]

I started on this stained glass project over two and a half years ago. I'm finally getting back to it and plan to get it done within two weeks. #StainedGlass

@N9XTN I would rather push my Prius than drive a GM.

[Space Weather Watch @spacewxwatch]

Space weather activity is quickly ramping up with 13 active regions on the Earth-facing disk, up from just 5 a few days ago. We are expecting a lot of increased activity heading into Christmas and into the New Year. I am working Christmas Eve Day and Christmas Day, which I am really excited about. To all my fellow colleagues working effortlessly around the holidays, thank you for what you do! We appreciate you!

Holy cow, the Martian colonists are going to steal an asteriod worth $20 trillion. Man, I love the show, For All Mankind.

@N9XTN @NWSOmaha The fog finally broke here, I got to see the sun.

@kc0mwm I'm watching season three and just found out the North Koreans landed on Mars. Holy cow, this series keeps getting better and better!

[L. Paul Verhage @nearsys]

Watching the series, For All Mankind, while making chainmail. Damn, that is one good television series. Strongly recommend it.

Science class throwback: Pasteurization of milk just means heating it to about 161 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 seconds to kill viruses and bacteria.

So, why are more people pushing to drink it raw?

From my Blue Sky account.

Drove up to the Owyhee Mountains and above the inversion. I can see clear across the valley.

@jmhannon I hope you'll get your power back soon. It's no good to have no power when it's cold outside.
