New windows inspired a new solution for allowing the cat to go in/out while we're at work. So, 1/8" acrylic sheet replaces the casement window screen, and cat door gives him access to the big litter box... er, I mean back yard.

The door has two sliding switches (one red, one green) that enable one of 4 modes for the swinging door - locked, in/out, in only, out only. It's pretty easy to figure out which is which, UNLESS you read the instructions. They are a complete translation failure. The first paragraph alone will have you scratching your head. And it goes on for like 8 pages! Hilarious.

The almost-mighty Freightliner came with E-Tracks, and my DW wanted to rip them all out because she didn't understand them. Anyway, I bought two of those spare tire retainers to hold my planned (removable) sink cabinet in place. When my DW saw one as I was unpacking the box, she thought that I had bought it as a toilet paper holder! TL;DR - I subsequently discovered that etrailer.com sells this E-Track vertical paper towel holder that looks a whole lot safer from a jousting perspective, that may or may not be on my Christmas list just because:

E-track is very useful and popular on enclosed race car trailers, too.

That stuff walks the dog when you have the need.

I bought a drafting chair (tall office chair) for the new workbench in my garage. The casters were so, um, enthusiastic that the chair would roll across the garage whenever I tried to sit in it. My brother called it the "Death Chair." So I bought these feet to replace the casters. Much improved.

A little project for over the Xmas break... hardwood flooring for the home theatre. I just finished loading it in the room to get it climatized.
Maybe I'll post some photos in the house projects thread later.

Logitech M720 mouse. Supposedly you can switch this between machines with just a button press. I'm hoping it works so I can control the Dell box that runs my camera software and then flip back to my laptop.

I have the K860 keyboard and have the three toggle modes also: one for my work computer, one for my personal computer and the third one attached to my iPhone if I want to speed up my text message responses!

8+ year old desktop finally needs to be replaced. It just can't keep up with the audio and video production stuff I do.

Found a great deal on an open box PowerSpec at Microcenter. Not a gamer, so perfectly happy with a little lower end GPU. But it seems that gaming pcs have the best bang for the buck in meeting my audio/video needs these days.

12th Gen i7, GeForce RTX 3060Ti, 32GB RAM, 1TB NVMe drive, liquid cooled.

Actually 32GB is more than is technically needed for my use. Even with that I'm still tempted to push it to 64GB just because

Direct from Canada a new backseat cover for Bluebelle

JJ 911SC · 12-26-2022, 01:25 PM

2nd pair in less then 12 months

The deck broke and low and behold that part is not cover under their warranty...

Got the new pair at 50% (Boxing Day sale). With GV everything is cover by the warranty.

Laser parking aid. Got sick of the lollipop reflectors. This one is tiny and sits on the garage door opener. Drive in until the line hits the edge of the dash. Done.
