Pike – Hopulus Erectus IIIPA
I have no idea what the third I is for. No matter what, it started with that musty flavor I hate in anything that ends with PA, but it smoothed right out. 9.5% ABV probably helps.

Right. The more I think about it I don’t want to have to have a big enough kite to lift a decent size sensor package. Even a cell phone its going to put a great load out there. Of course, what I mean is, I don’t want a big enough kite to lift off with that load. Sometimes the wind is erratic, and lifting that load from second one sounds like even more crashes than my skill usually encourages.
The solution of course is to lift the load after the fact. Now, I could do it as static load, probably something like twenty get from the kite itself. If I remember correctly, this is what many kite photographers do with much larger loads than I’m considering. Still, it seems dirty. Not in a bad way, but reduces the overall design value by implementing something entirely as a fix. What I’m envisioning would be a low energy rope climber. Now, I would be taking a hit on the weight, but it would also add functionality.
Kite not positioned where you want, move the load closer in. Kite to high, move the load down. Trying to get the max elevation, you’re not stopped at elevation minus twenty. About to make a water landing, panic retreat.
Now I’m thinking of how to make this happen. I should probably get the den cleaned some more and hang some string paths.

LightBeer – the glue is failing. Something about glass not being the best material for hot glue. As an aside, my phone thinks hot glue means girls, creepy. I think I’ll use my giant roll of wire to bind then together. Kinda sketchy using the same wire for my electrical and structural, but that how I roll. Just haven’t gotten back to it yet. That and I need to find my pliers. To ply stuff.
Backup Heart – I need to finish desoldering, well, everything probably. Basically, my soldering is still abysmal. Who knows, maybe I just had one bad connection. It seems like a short somewhere. Probably in the give blobs of solder I left everywhere.

(Working name: couch) – Hahaha. I don’t even have a name for it. I like having a name for a project. A babe makes it easier to stay on vision. I see the vision, but I have no name. I think I’ll make a pun based on the word couched. Our maybe bracket. Either way, I started to glue all my pallet scrap into more useful dimensions. In the absence of clamps I’m using a finite number of heavy things. I’m also expanding my collection of spare (computer case style) screws to act as decorative upholstery tacks. I still haven’t decided what to do for springs though. I could spin my own upholstery springs, which sounds, unpleasant. I could buy an old couch to gut. I could just use any other option. Decisions.

Everything else is in the indeterminate phase. I have done tools I need to build to help me build things.

Sound – O’Reagen’s Revenge Irish Red
I probably got the name wrong. To good. Stopped reading.
Victory –
VictoryMoving Parts 03 Belgian IPA
Musty like an IPA, but pretty tasty. Clean fizz, kind of a floral aftertaste. Pretty decent.

I think this weekend, during all my downtime, I should start building a kite.I want it big enough to carry a smart phone, ideally with a cradle for the phone, for safety. If course, I could put a climber for the phone, so I float the kite, and then send the phone up the line. I should probably build a kite first. Get me some practice flying and go from there.
Dint get me wrong, I want to add functionality later on. Kite based person level IR identification, coastline surveys, who knows.  Maybe it could be hackaday prize worthy.

Since I’ve been aware until recently I’ve been given tasks when awake by the voices. Each task is a continuous item until it’s done. At first it was simple things such as searching for a word in a list of words. As these tasks were completed, they became more complex. The word became a description of a word, then an association of words, finally just an image on one of my monitors. I assume that time was never a factor, as each task was independent often with asleep in between. Once words became top easy, the voice when I was asleep have me a claw. The claw was mounted to the floor of the room with nothing else to give it a sense of dimension or purpose. Now when I would awake, I would see any number of materials, as well as done obstacle to bypass. All I had was a claw

Odin – Odin’s Gift
Had it before, but never commented. Burn of done good carbonation coupled with a strength I associate with a stout. Kind of an almond hint I think. Very clean. I give it one eye.
