#amtrak Empire Builder #latebyfreight between Sandpoint, ID and Libby, MT, eastbound. We must have attractive passenger train service to address the climate crisis.

Ordered my first part from Shapeways this morning. I'm evaluating which is more cost-effective for my expected #3dprinter needs - buying a machine or using a service.

Black Forest Cherry Torte interpretation

#vegan #veganbaking This is my interpretation of a Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte, known in English as a Black Forest Cherry Cake. The sponge is two layers of chocolate cake. The "whipped cream" is garbanzo bean juice and powdered sugar. I was pleased with how easy the whipped cream was to make. I also made about ten times what I needed, so we'll be eating whipped cream on toast, on crackers, and in hot chocolate for some time.

Miter saw cabinet

My latest upgrade for my woodworking tools. I made a mobile cabinet for my power miter saw. I had to buy the four casters but I found the abandoned sheet of 3/4 inch plywood in my attic. The sides of the cabinet are joined with pocket hole screws. #DIY #woodworking

I was lucky to receive several #books at least tangentially related to #solarpunk :
"The mushroom at the end of the world" by Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing
"Doughnut economics" by Kate Raworth
"The complete Ecotopia" by Ernest Callenbach
"Capital" by Thomas Piketty

No time to waste! Got lots of books to read.

Gave my wife a #books for Christmas, promoting the
#vegan movement:

"The Art of Plant-Based Cheesemaking" by Karen McAthy. Looking forward to my role as sous-chef and Official Taster.

#sailing Tested the electric auxiliary with a day cruise from Brownsville to Poulsbo and back yesterday. Had about an hour of wind so we were able to do some actual sailing, too. All in all, a successful test, a good lunch, and another item checked off the list.
