Figured out a cheap trick to blur a smartphone's camera:
1. Cut a piece of transparent adhesive tape.
2. Sandpaper it.
3. Attach on top of the camera.
Wanted to blur instead of covering the camera, because the phone interprets full cover as darkness and dims the screen.

The time I made a "DIY Mouthpiece Puller" for a stuck trumpet part...

DIY Mouthpiece Puller
Last year my youngest daughter took up the trumpet, and shortly after she started she managed to get the mouthpiece stuck. This is pretty common, from what people in the know tell me. The problem is, the school used to have a mouthpiece removing tool, but it either broke, or it no longer has it, [...]

I replaced the wireless thermostat on our heating system yesterday evening. Changed the relay box and all. Success! Heating works again. #diy

Ich suche nach einer Bezugsquelle für kleine Zuschnitte (30x40cm) von Schaumstoff-Platten h=2-3cm mit hoher Shore-Härte. Ideal 200 (20 kPa). Weiss da jemand was? #followerpower #maker #diy

Whew! Making dough with 70% hydration gets a little sticky… I also tried to hand mix this one instead of using the electric mixer.

Mir ist heute beim Frühstück ein Messer gebrochen. Irgendwelche Upcycling-Ideen? #diy #upycling

I don't have the money to buy the LED strips for the frosted top-windows at the moment, but I am the kind of person who has 5m of LED strips just lying around awaiting a use.
Which is coincidentally exactly the length the space around the dresser-mirrors/window-shutters need.
Looks quite pretty.

I hope everyone who celebrates it had a great Christmas yesterday. Today was 2/3 for #automation #diy. I can now see #co2 levels in the living room and toggle the garage door from

I don't think I have twisted off the cap for the cleanout since I bought the whole assembly... 5months? I only slid the end into the pipe in August so hadn't needed to screw off the cap. It took some leverage/persuasion to turn it.
But I was successful, and now the big filter can be drained. The water was actually higher than the bottom of the cap but no big deal, it's not really under any pressure.

Hab' mir mal 'n Beutel McCain Pommes Extra knusprig für den Umluftofen aka Heißluftfriteuse gekauft.
Knusprig so lala ja, aber auch nicht überall.
Lecker? Nönö. Schmeckt alle so wie nach nichts. Die Majo hat das auch nicht rausgehauen.
Es geht doch echt nichts über Pommes aus Kartoffeln #DIY

emptied the pond overnight. We have had so much rain this past month! All are full. I am going to drain it all and keep it drained until I get the pumps wired and can habe them installed and running. Don't want the water to get stale and unhealthy.
I think I might hire a stone mason to build the wall.
moving the pump into the intake bay now. It should be empty by the time I am back from the day's ceremonies.

Years ago I got these NeoPixel strips that did not come all attached with the ability to snap them apart *or* leave them as one big unit...
So I made a jig to hold them together so I can solder them all in series.

Remember that time I chopped down a Raspberry Pi Pico and it still worked fine? (I mean, with less GPIO pins, but still.)

tweaked the back last night. Still sore this morning, so some heat is to be applied to the area.
#pandemicbath to the rescue.
The view is a little foggy both inside and out.

All right, time for another patch of sashiko on these pants. You can sort-of tell I've been getting better at it over the years 😅
