  Photo-A-Day 2.0 #01904 General Mills sent me a special Spring is Here box filled with new Spring products. There were a whole bunch of great things inside like Oreo Brownie mix, Some mac and cheese plus Spring themed cereals. There were also some bunny shaped graham crackers. I think that they would fit well into the 3D Printed Easter eggs that I made, too.

  Photo-A-Day 2.0 #01903 Funko has gotten into the wireless headphone space. I found these Iron Man ones at Five Below. I got them because they looked really fun. The holder is very much like the Funko POP Pez Dispensers that I have collected. This is the only figure that I found that was a Marvel superhero. The headphones are comfortable but do not work for very long. I have to take them with me each Saturday to work because I definitely need headphones at work. Blocks out the noise of people around me.

  Photo-A-Day 2.0 #01902 I’ve moved on to printing the rainbow eggs for the kids. What I noticed is that because I print the egg the way I do the tops and bottoms do not match properly. However, I’m printing multiple eggs so what I plan to do is take the top of the second egg and put it with the bottom of the egg I printed first. This way the egg will have the proper colors all the way up. It should have a full rainbow. I hope that the other two pieces match up as well.

  Photo-A-Day 2.0 #01901 We have this family in joke where whenever someone sees geese in a filed they yell, “Two Geese in a field, I win”. Today when we went to krav Eva got out of the car and saw these two geese in a field and had to take a photo of them to send to Allison to declare that there were two geese in a field and the she won.

  Photo-A-Day 2.0 #01900 I found a few dragons to print and printed them using a purple and yellow filament that gave it a great fire look. I made it small enough so that it would fit into the printed egg. Now I have a bunch of great new filaments and some dragons to print as well as the eggs. I should have everything printed this week and the kids will be pretty excited for them.

  Photo-A-Day 2.0 #01899 A while back, maybe a year or so I decided to pick up some Just for Men for beards and I dyed my beard. It was super dark and didn’t look quite natural. I found light brown works best for me and today I dyed it again. Then I realized that I had bought medium brown and this is darker than I wanted. I kinda like it but it is a bit dark. I’m going to go and get it styled like I used to get my goatee done. So, I’m growing older but I’m not sure I want to look older quite yet. When the dye starts to fade the white comes back and there is much more white than there had been.

  Photo-A-Day 2.0 #01898 I’ve been thinking of what to do for the kids for Easter. Not just for my own kids but also for my niece and nephew. I ordered some multi-color filament and will print out some neat things to put inside these printed dragon eggs. I specifically got some rainbow filament so that I could make fun rainbow eggs. This white egg is proof of concept. I printed it out to make sure it would fit the printed dragons.
