Had a fantastic week and made some really good progress.  Still need to do a few touch ups here and there, but for all intents and purposes, I finished the lower leg and began the thigh.

Looking a few steps ahead, I think I've hit the point where I need to take a pause on this leg and begin the next one.  The wires moving up through the thigh are going to continue on to the torso, so I really need the other leg at this point, so I can figure out how it will all come together.  Very exciting on one hand, a little daunting on the other, as this leg took me almost a month.  Hopefully the next one will go a little quicker.  I'm not holding my breath though.  This one didn't go so slow because I didn't know what I was doing, rather it's just time consuming work, especially since I have to do the finish work as I go.  But it looks good.  I got the shape I was going for, the design is looking cool and I'm incredibly happy with it so far.

The speed rail rig I made is finally starting to get some real use.  It had only been holding the two thick wires for the first few weeks, but that was because all the other wires were ending at the knee.  Once I got past the knee and moved back to the calf and started the thigh, the new wires I've been adding don't have a stopping point.  They're going to continue on up through the body.  So at this point, it's now holding eight loose wires, with many more to come.  It's gonna start getting tricky to move them around when I need to.  It's almost like weaving.

Time change happened this weekend.  Bye bye, daylight savings.  I'll see you in four months.  =(   It was also cold and a little rainy.  This part of the year always beats me down a little.  I hate that it gets dark an hour and a half before I get off from my day job.  Weekends take a hit too.  I'm a creature of the night, it's my most productive time, but then I sleep til after noon on Saturday and Sunday, and now it will get dark a few hours after I wake up on the weekends.  I really don't do well with the cold weather either.  I think I'm part lizard.  I could take 90 degrees year round.  It'll be interesting to see how this all affects me during this project.  Fortunately, my life is looking pretty good these days, so I'm starting off on a good foot.  =) 

Dug deep into the Cure's album Disintegration a number of times this weekend.  Maybe it was the weather.  Over twenty years after its release, Disintegration is still one of my favorite albums of all time.  It's perfect.  Flawless.  And it was the perfect work mood for me this weekend.
