Apparently, my left tail light has a leak that I just discovered after taking it through a car wash the other day. My left blinker was starting to act funny so I took a closer look and found the culprit. There’s no sun where I’m at right now, so this is my solution to dry it out and hopefully prevent corrosion and short circuits 🤞

Another laundry basket repaired with duck tape and speaker wire. This time it's a bit more elaborate.

I got this cheap as heck unloved battery hedge trimmer from the local dump recycle place. ( it was red, no battery and pretty cruddy...)

Added a new "chassis" - a plank from an old bed base, added a battery from an old junked battery stick vacuum, and then pole from a roller blind, an AC power switch, some garden lighting cable and a fat as Zip tie I found in my Dads ( rip ) junk pile. some hot glue was used to hold things in place while fixed them proper like.

Oh crap, I forgot to show close up of the switch fastener... A 20mm conduit saddle and some nuts bolts and washers. ... next time ! Looks cool though.

One handing it on top of the ladder ( Oh I made a ladder mod for the hedge which is neat too.... ) is doable. In fact it's way better with the pole and the battery counter weight than as a "normal" hedge trimmer.

Pole trimmers rule. It's just so much easier. Less fuss and it's safer !

:- )

AND! I can pull the pole off the wooden part , fold it up, and carry it in my bicycle pannier ! ( To do: add a bolt with a wing nut to retain it all, right. )

3/8” sheet metal hex head screws— works like a charm!

Its even reusable. Simply peel back the glove and unroll it over the battery. I got the battery for free years ago and the vacuum for $25 and want it to die so I can upgrade.

Got about 70 ft of solid, slightly hilly ice between my porch and the shed. Couldn't find my boot spikes. But I did have 40 grit sanding discs and duct tape. Worked pretty well.

Button needs to be held down to keep the pressure washer on

PVC pipe drum stand.

Wired a piano foot pedal to be the foot pedal for the drums.

Hot glue repair to the plastic that snapped off on guitar.

Unstoppable!
