Have you ever thought about rearranging your office so your desk faces north? Then when looking at a map on the computer it would match up to the way I’m sitting. I feel spoiled by mobile devices.

I'm searching for my first hole-in-one.
I enjoy being active and making things.
I work for Automattic.

Meh.
Worn-Out Planer Feed Roller
This is the entry feed roller I took out of Dad’s Craftsman 351.233831 Planer. Looks like the wood pieces took the name “feed roller” quite literal and were chewing on it! Pretty sure this wasn’t safe, so glad to be replacing it before giving the machine back to him.
Tinkering with a Bathroom Fan and Heater
I’ve been busy with travel, the truck, and summer, so I haven’t posted any projects or videos lately. Several weeks ago I did mess around with a bathroom fan and heater. Here are some pieces of random video from that process.
Photo Challenge: All-Time Favorites
I guess we’ve decided to end the Daily Post, so this week is the last photo challenge and the theme is all-time favorites.
I took this photo in 2016 during a road trip up the West coast from L.A. to Seattle. It was a bit chilly and we were disappointed with the fog, but it made for some cool pictures.
Mountain Dew Ice
Much better than Sprite.
12 Volt Light Bulb Tester
I wired a 9V in series with two AA batteries (1.5V each) to test out the truck‘s dash panel bulbs.
Turns out the bulb holder I tested first was faulty and 9V would have been enough. In fact, three of the nine bulb holders were corroded and unable to provide juice to the light bulbs. That explains why it was so hard to see the gauges at night!
To get by until new parts arrive, I was able to finesse some small pieces of wire in between the bulbs and the holders to get an electrical connection.
