Flight Sim Illustrates Flight 1549

I would love to have this job; replicate events in Flight Simulator for news broadcasts like this one.

So much better than plastic models on sticks!

Welding, blacksmithing, combat pistol university (for the shooter in me that's worth the price of admission), machining, etc

Were baaaack!

After what feels like an Ice Age (its officially -3 F here in Baraboo) the time to do some CPR and resuscitate this blog has come.
To start things off, an announcement in the "Maker" magazine web site about a proposal for a hacker/maker workshop in the Twin Cities.
Which I can say would give me another reason to visit our even colder neighbor in the north (but won't make me a Vikings fan anytime soon).
You can read it for yourself at:
