Upgraded the ol' iMac and took the 172 out in XPlane 12. I'm restarting my short jump tour, this time going across MA from Ptown to the Vineyard. Gotta say, XPlane 12 is very purdy. Check out those clouds, and the ship in the water off Cape Cod. Chef's kiss! #xplane #xplane12 #flightsim #cessna172

Back in the cockpit, started at Syracuse and decided to head to every Rush fan's favorite airport, Toronto Pearson. I managed to grease the landing almost perfectly, go me! Final shot shows me parked by the general aviation hangars. #xplane #xplane11 #cessna172 #yyz #torontopearson

I suspect this is truly unique pig feeder content for your viewing pleasure. #pigfeeder #leadpig #nohesitation #smoothrachet

And Southern Ink decided to spin off its letterpress ink product into a new line, Blue Press Ink, so I got some PANTONE Yellow, Green and Mixing Black to check things out. #letterpress #bostonprinter #bostonpress #popmembers #crankclickyankback #vandercook #stovefactory #Charlestown #inkonpaper

Trip to the Museum of Printing in Haverhill today. A non-casting Ludlow Day -- got some Radiant, Cameo, Florentine and Karnak matrices, and a pig feeder for the crucible. #ludlow #ludlowday #ludlowtypograph #pigfeeder #leadpig #hotmetal #hotmetaltype

[sigh] A namesake can has finally reached the end. Farewell, one kilogram of old school Van Son Rubber Base Plus Reflex Blue. You tinted many many square meters of paper in your time. #reflexblue #vansonrubberbaseplus

Following up on my earlier Memes Of The Yoots post, on the Winter Solstice, Skudenes, Norway claims the prize of six hours, seven minutes of daylight. Fun fact: Skudenes is actually a bit warmer than Beantown right now. 🤷‍♂️ That crazy Gulf Stream! #sixseven

Not really a Christmas movie kinda guy, but I was quite pleasantly surprised yestereve watching "The Christmas Chronicles". Subverted tropes, Kurt Russell chewing the scenery, a reasonably consistent Elvish, and nixie tubes in Santa's sleigh? Okay, I'm in. 🤣

O Great Solar Orb, hear our pleas on this, the darkest day of the year! Return to these northern lands to ripen our fields and increase our herds, in the glory of your rising! Sacrifice is necessary, for the blessing of Sol Invictus! #solstice #wintersolstice #suninsagittarius #southernmostsun

Just because my kid is 8, we went hunting for weather information throughout the far North until we found Fitjar, Norway. Fitjar's claim to fame is that on this day, it had 6 hours and 7 minutes of daylight. #sixseven

Signed and numbered, an editioned piece showing the dance that #Percy the rover and #Ginny the drone made across the dust of #Jezero Crater. In the store soon. #inkonpaper #prints #printmaking #editioned #editions #commissions #letterpress #conceptualart #supportanartist #buyart
