Aurora Borealis

On the 10th they said the aurora borealis would be visible in Ohio. Longer exposures captured more than what the eye could see. We drove out into the country to avoid light pollution and maybe, sort of saw a glow.

Rocket Wall

My grade 5-8 students built model rockets with 3D nose cones of their own design as well as laser cut fins of their own design. They spray painted their rocket on the field; I made this rack for them to dry on (the rockets, not the students).

Bedroom AC

We've been happy with the through-the-wall air conditioners that I installed in the living room and porch several years ago. I also installed an old window unit through the back wall of the garage, and it does a great job of cooling the garage when I need it. So, I picked up a newish AC at a garage sale this spring for $15 and installed it in our bedroom. In this location it does not block a window, is protected by the roof eve outside and seals up perfectly.
