#fursuitfriday I've dreamt of Martensuiting on the @fetchnw.com Hiyu event ever since the very first cruise sometime around...2018/2019? It feels so amazing to have finally gotten the opportunity to. 👔by @jaycostumes.bsky.social 📷by Growlph & Burrbles and featuring @sirmossington.bsky.social
Oh hey that reminds me that i saw your car the other day. What does the 358 mean?
...Went on a walk out from home to work on projects and get dinner and I saw both a Long-tailed Weasel and a Junebug which cheered me up. This would definitely be my noble steed if I was a Micro small enough.

3Dprinting/Mini Maker Just got my first e-reader on sale this week. I've been wanting to read more and realized the weight/bulk/water sensitivity of hardcovers was what was keeping me from taking them places. Anyway, needed a light/slim screen protector and I think I nailed the dimensions first try!
#fursuitfriday Just a little shenanigans on the ferry ride home with Jace and @wunderdeer.bsky.social 👔 by @jaycostumes.bsky.social
should be fine. I just found them to be pretty slippery when jumping around on sandy driftwood.
3D printing/Mini Maker: No-Sew Fursuit Sandals. printed out of flexible TPU, these sandals consume about $30 in materials and don't require any sewing to build. Goal is for them to be more comfortable to walk on and and much more durable then regular foam sandals, but I'll have to see over time.
…and with 8 custom plastic parts to hold the portable screen, laptop, mouse, headset, power brick, docking station and cord i now have a little office setup i can fold up in a minute and lean against a wall out of the way.
3D printing/Mini Maker: Stowable home office. Because I can only work from home at most 1 day a week i was sick of my home office setup taking up a permanent table. (In this case It had been living on my workbench) To fix this I got a small desk with folding legs and integrated power outlet ctnd....
#fursuitfriday Just a wild American Mart doing Marten things in his natural habitat. Was a great stress test on my homemade fursuit sandals. I may post the design later after I refine a coupe things. Suit by @jaycostumes.bsky.social Photos by @wunderdeer.bsky.social and Jace.

#FursuitFriday While very secretive and elusive, Martens do inhabit WA state and can sometimes be spotted in mature conifer woods. photos by @birb.mom, Vancouver Island Suit by @jaycostumes.bsky.social
After living in WA for 18 years I've finally climbed mailbox peak with @ferrethandjobs.com. 3 days later and my legs are still completely dead D: 👔 by @jaycostumes.bsky.social 📷 by me and @ferrethandjobs.com
Thank you Tab! I was so delighted with how well this suit works as a partial with my normal outfits. Here's a few more pics by Reweth from that trip:
Introducing my new American Marten suit by @jaycostumes.bsky.social! Getting this suit was a 12 year long dream come true and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Expect lots of pics in the near future~ 📷’s by @ferrethandjobs.com @grolar.bsky.social @birb.mom @skunkset.beachmilk.party
Wooo fitness progress! I'm not usually one to set physical goals but, inspired by my work's Bike Everywhere Month challenge, I made it a goal to bicycle 500 miles in May and just today I reached it. Came down closer to the wire then I expected considering I wont have any time to bike this weekend.
Fucking FINALLY. Did fedex only now realize that some people have jobs?!?!?
