  1. Doing my best @krahabors impression today.

    Before that I have also taken three deep breaths and then said "#knirps, I am your father" to him, as is mandatory for any dad wearing a filter mask. I know the rules.

  6. #Knirps got a Lego tractor (60498). Since the Lego is too small for him, I had to make the sacrifice and build it until he stops eating everything. Poor me 😜

    Good design, although it relies on an abundance of special bricks to look neat in small form. There's exactly two Technic bricks in there, too. And a few parts on the exhaust I've never seen before.

    I bet half the people who aren't farmers put the tyres on the wrong way.

  11. #Knirps got his first gearbox. Like any proper mechanic, he immediately emptied it out on the floor, gears flying everywhere.

  12. #Knirps got his throne upgraded.

    This is the "compact" version and it barely fits into our not that small car. I don't remember kid seats being so huge, but then they also didn't rotate or have Isofix bases in my days.

    Also attaching Isofix hardware is not like in the instructional videos where some smiling parent easily lifts the seat in and it just goes click. There's a lot more wrestling, swearing and sweating involved.

  16. Chicken looks a bit skinny.

    Perhaps its just because she lost her winter fur. Perhaps because there seem to be fewer rodents and sparrows this spring. Or perhaps the other farm in her territory isn't yielding as much food.

    Gave her an extra portion of kibble. She also likes to eat some of the home-made baby food #Knirps doesn't finish.

  17. It might say food on the book, but I don't think that's how they meant it, #Knirps.

  18. @impermanen_ Managed to read "Wind in the Willows" to #Knirps before he lost interest in being read stories 💪

    Supposedly it comes back at some point :)

  19. @yngmar Time flies! You're still looking for a place for the stroller. But it feels like in two weeks you'll have to make room for his car.😁
    How old ist #Knirps now?

  20. After #Knirps goes to sleep, I get some quiet time where I can use my brain if there's any juice left in it.

    Last few nights I've been running around our old house with a tape measure and digitizing rooms, windows, doors and furniture in Sweet Home 3D so we can figure out some stuff, like which exact windows and what dimensions to order.

    Stroller size is perceived rather than actual, based on how much in the way it gets, the rest is to scale :)

  21. #Knirps showing off his new skills. 3/4 unlocked. The twisty one is still too difficult but he's learning fast.

    Will be helping on the farm in no time 😁

  22. #Knirps started crawling for realz on the same day he got a triple-vaccination. Obviously good software updates on those microchips! 😆 💉

  23. #Knirps went for his first swim ever and then we managed to get back home before the ice rain started.

    Somehow liquid water falling in -7°C onto roads even colder is pretty bad. Good luck if you have to drive on that shit.

    Even managed to sneak a few lanes in the big pool for myself. Am well out of shape, I guess splitting logs and digging potatoes uses different muscles from breaststroke 😁

  24. Been to town. Apparently they had a low of -23.5°C on Monday night.

    Provisioned, picked up parcels, got #Knirps vaccinated and bought some potentially better winter work gloves.

    Roads a bit slippery in places. Strangely worse in town than out.

    Now heating up the house as we didn't get around to making our usual morning fire.

  25. #Homesteading adventure of the day: The spring water hose froze, no running water, wife grumpy, #Knirps screaming (he picks up moods). I hauled a bucket up the well, but that made nobody happy.

    It didn't freeze in lower temperatures last winter, I guess it was the lack of snow cover combined with high wind chill.

    Initial thoughts of making a fire on the steel cover were quickly discarded when I remembered I had a forced air diesel heater sitting in the garbarn.

    Pounded a steel post into the frozen ground to secure a rope, slithered partway down a steep, snowy slope and set up the spring heater 😁

    Couple hours later, water from the tap resumes and I'm warming my frozen buttcheeks on the tile heater. ☕

  26. Keyhole surgery last night. On a strange blue cowterfly toy #Knirps got from his cousin, but with empty batteries.

    Inside the buttonhole was a screw securing a sliding hatch with three LR44 cells inside. Somewhat tricky, but unlike my first knee surgeon, I managed without cutting the patient open. 😷

    As soon as the batteries were in, the cowterfly made clip clop and neighing sounds (and continued during the fiddly reassembly), so I guess it actually is a butterfly-horse hybrid 🤷

  27. @vaviurka is on the couch with #Knirps and taking pretend phone calls on the baby foot.

    Then she makes up one side of a conversation. One caller was Emily from "Emily in Paris", who got a proper bollocking about having a dumb plot and nobody talking French 😆

  28. @LewisWorkshop Only remembered because I was showing #Knirps the calendar and oh crap recycling tomorrow 😅

  34. Snowing all day outside, time for some winter jobs.

    Like replacing the broken zipper on my work jacket. Some difficulties remembering the finer details of sewing machine tweaking, not helped by #Knirps screaming loudly into my ear.

    Didn't result in the neatest job, seam not straight and I stretched the fabric vs the unyielding zipper, but just fine for a jacket that's already sampled blotches of epoxy, polyester, varnish and a variety of sealants.

    Picked a larger zipper in hopes of being more robust. Onto the next 10 years, favourite medium-weight work jacket!

  39. @ascentale @bikenite #BikeNite A8: Actually when fetching some electric parts for my car (bulbs) with the bicycle from a local shop, I saw this #HarryVsLarry #Bullitt with a #Knirps foldable umbrella mounted to the handlebar as a windshield.
