Mastodon

Since twitter has become a complete shit show I’m out of there as far as my social media goes and will probably just be on Mastodon for the indefinite future.

New Previa windshield washers

In attempts to remedy some engineering oversights in the Previa, and fix things that were broken on my “new” van, the wipers were an immediate sore spot. The passenger side sprayer was inactive. I found it wasn’t even connected under the hood, reconnected it, then found that the whole “sprayer” end was gone. Given that […]

When the wires break

So the roadster was having some intermittent starting and running issues. Found the culprit to be a wire that had grounded out to the back of the alternator. This looks to be due to some improper routing by the mechanic that did the alternator install.

New bed design?

Prelim sketches for version two of my hanging bed. Will be constructed with the Shaper Origin router when I get it. Potential for great old ones murals. I like.

Coulson Cibie headlight upgrade

Steam & Upholstery Cleaner

I picked up a steamer and a heated upholstery cleaner to clean the seats in my wagon, as well as just take care of other things that need steamed or cleaned. I’ll write up a proper review at a later date, for the time being I just wanted to post up this image of what […]
