I am in the process of *moving* so things are a bit *chaotic* at the moment. This, however, does not mean that things aren't on the *stack* to post about. In fact, this move will actually increase the amount of projects I can work on **[as if i didn't have a hard enough time following through as it is]**. Here is a quick *rundown*.
We are in the process of building a *shed* which will be the dedicated *Xavi's Hobbies* project space **[keeps all the fires out of the house]**. Right now we are still in the process of putting in the *insulation* and *dry wall* **[gotta make it cozy you know]** but once the dry wall is in, we are going to *paint them*, *seal the floors*, set up the *storage shelves and workbench*, and move everything in.
Once everything is put into place I have *two electronics projects* that I want to get to. First, I want to finish building my first *PCB* from scratch. I have everything I need to make the *PCB*, I just need the time and space to *actually* get it done. Second, I would like to get familiar with *RF* electronics using a *VNA* **[vector network analyzer]** that I just got **[more toys!]**. I just ordered a [NanoVNA](https://nanovna.com/) that lots of people recommended to get started in the *RF* world. It looks like its really hard to beat the *NanoVNAs* utility at the given price point. Most *VNAs* I've seen have been in the *thousands to tens of thousands* range where I payed *$150* for this one **[and according to my calculations that's less than $10,000]**. There are obviously some limitations with the *NanoVNA* that the others might not have but I think it'll be *more than enough* for my purposes **[at least for now]**.
In other news, the *banjo build* is still in the works, just on a brief *hiatus* **[sure it is]** as we get settled. We might head down to a gourd patch just to check out if we can make a *gourd banjo* after the *Kentucky style* one **[maybe even pick up some seeds to see if we can grow our own]**.
I also have some *cooking recipes* that I have made **[and actually took pictures this time]** that I would like to post pretty soon.
And finally, we have also gotten back into some *TTRPGs* **[table top role playing games, like D&D]** that I might post about. I was thinking about adding things about our simple terrain builds and the session prep I do as a *DM* **[dungeon master]**. I might even get some players to post a *dungeon journal* if the would like.
Welp, there's the things that are on the stack **[at least as far down as I am able to see]**.
