I knew there was a bit of snow coming, I didn’t expect ~10cm more on my driveway so first thing I did this morning was shovel woo…  After that was done, Brandon and I went out to hit up a few stores mainly to just get some odds and ends.  The two of us went for pho, I did give Maggie a call to see if she wanted to come but seeing as how she was busy with work, she declined.

In the afternoon Brandon and I built a straw contraption for Cubs, the goal was to design something that would allow an egg to survive a 10′ fall and well it worked at home.

STEM projects is always fun, I was telling Brandon that this design always rights itself and that the straws help direct the impact force around the egg.  Our first test subject cracked but our second survived multiple drops, though after we were done we had to replace the broken straws.  It’s only designed to work once so hopefully this doesn’t have to survive a second drop or else we’ll have a dirty floor…

A bit later I took the boy out for tobogganing and he loved it.

I wanted to take some video too but broke the Rode VideoMic Go at the mount. 🙁  Sigh I ordered a replacement micro version, I’ll see if I can repair this but I don’t have much faith in it and it’s a weak design.  The rest of the afternoon we chilled at home, my neck was bothering me late last week and on the weekend but seems better now which is a relief, I don’t have to walk around like Batman anymore lol.
