Ich baue ein neues CD-Regal, weil da wo das hin soll das existierende Regal nicht hin passt. Und weil zwar eine Tauchsäge aber (noch) keine Kreissäge in der Garagenschreinerei existiert, habe ich heute eine Sägeschablone für die Regalbretter gebaut. Damit ich nicht jedes einzelne der ungefähr 20 Regalbretter ausmessen muss und alle Regalbretter gleich breit werden. #diy

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, [...]

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.

‘Death to #Spotify’: the #DIY movement to get artists and fans to quit Daniel Ek's ubiquitous but fiscally fkd and eternally exploitative music streaming app that pays artists a pittance of pennies or le$$ – and even le$$ still if they agree to be “playlisted” on its "Discovery" mode, which mostly rewards facel…

I'm in the garage painting - day 32 of a 4 day project because I hate painting. But I have a nice view down the driveway reminding me that I could be shoveling snow instead.

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

I'm in my garage attic installing collar ties, as recommended by our house inspection. I'm trying to finish this morning while it's cool - 14 done and 6 more to go. The forecast is 27°C after lunch, and I don't want to be in that attic at that temperature.

spool winding - check. Now the 'good stuff' (wood filament) is a a spool my printer and I can handle. #3dprinting #diy #maker

Heute mache ich mir Rösti zum Abendessen. Kartoffeln hatte ich lange vernachlässigt. Kartoffeln, Zwiebel, Röststoffe davon, Butter und Käse.
Hmm, das wird lecker

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.

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.

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.

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

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

I got completely sidetracked by client work for the past week but I did finish my last batch of hand made recycled paper.

It's time for building work. Uh ho.
The bedroom that has remained undecorated and mostly dark since I moved in more than 20 years ago will finally be stripped and rebuilt according to my specifications.
What is my specifications? Humm. Well. I live alone and nobody can tell me what to do so I'm doing it Tardis themed.
Mostly I built the shape of it in Blender last year and the tardis theme only popped out when I readdressed that design this spring with an eye to actual colors. Adding the frosted glass to the windows on the top cupboards is the main thing that sells it.
Here's the video I made for the builder.

I finished the sashiko patch this morning... Because I wanted to wear these!
Now to see where the next tear develops 🙈

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.

In my garage, doing some renovation to turn it into a man cave. It will never see a vehicle inside again in my lifetime.

got home in the dark last night and left in the dark this morning but there has been #poolpond progress in my absence!
The fence builders started!
They augered post holes. They managed to not cut any pipes or wires in the frontyard pond... the holes are BIG.
Glad the fence is happening though. The rains have come with a vengeance and the ponds are filling fast! I wil feel much better knowing no one can get into the yard and be in danger of falling in.

A little rearranging in the backyard to get stuff away from the fence lines. Builders coming on Wednesday for our new 6.5ft fence and gates!!! Eeee!!
(must keep kids out per-water-bylaw, and also discourage the munchy deer friends!)
A little rainy while I worked but it was nice. :)
Also took out the top of the tall white pipe. The joint is only 2 inches below the rocks. No one will melt having to unscrew the top with their hand in water. : )

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 😅
