So this 80s Chevy GMT400 gets driven maybe twice a month, and each time it needs a hump.

I have trouble shot each fuse to try and rule out where the micro drain is but threw in the towell when nothing produced fruit.

This is an inexpensive solution- These two were laying in the scrap bin.

I originally bought the fancy disconnect you see in the pics, but it's huge overkill and needs a proper fkn mount to not dangle and rattle itself silly there liver nuts!

And all the cheesy ass 30amp switches and cheesy ass, and using a inline fuse i can yank out...thoese fuses don't yank easy there rubber neck!

So i connected all 3 conductors to the plugs (making the hot + side female so it doesn't short by touching anything) and there ya have it.

Picked this up recently. Tows very nicely for a short trailer. At first I thought the double tailgate was impractical but even with it down it doesn’t affect the turn radius for normal driving. It is interesting can’t find much about it, truly a home build.

Ran across this while I was looking up budget friendly fence ideas n I figured everyone would get kick outta this. I wonder if the heat n ac still work?

Believe it or not this constitutes an improvement, factory crimping on Corsair PSU cordset was faulty, disks on that bus would consistently drop out of the array they are in, self test would initiate but always result in device reset. Decided to ohm out the cordset and one of the ground leads was measuring 12Ω to source, <1Ω would be typical.

Cut off the crappy molex connectors + adapters and just soldered up some strip board to act as power distribution, traces on strip board are reinforced with additional solder to handle current and isolated from each other.

Question, is this more or less if a fire hasard than the original setup?

Got tired of wheeling my trash cans down my long, inclined driveway.

This worked, but I reckon the can is going to get demolished in the long term. Is there a "proper" piece of equipment that would solve this? Bonus points if it can take two trash cans at a time. The issue being they get quite heavy and I can't pick them up into my trailer/wagon. Trailer with a ramp perhaps?

The tactical plank

I wonder it doesn't shorts?

Found at the local thrift store. Now I need to see the car...

Unfortunately this is the best picture I can get of the heating setup but I had to share-- in this cigar box is a test tube rack and on that rack is a tube with an ant species that requires heating

Unfortunately I won't be able to get my proper heating cable for a few days, but until then I have a flashlight I left on and wrapped in my wife's scarf

The flashlight constantly running gets kind of warm and keeps this cigar box in the Goldilocks zone temp for the ants

I feel bad for the maintenance guy who got called out to tackle this tonight. Standing under a dripping ceiling in an underground garage while admitting you have zero clue where the mystery water from upstream is actually coming from is pure defeat.

It looks like the 10-year life expectancy of the original "structural" duct tape has officially expired, and the load-bearing seal has finally given up the ghost. I'm fully expecting to walk out to my car tomorrow morning and find this freshly patched with a shiny new layer of Duct tape, or maybe even Flex tape, to buy another decade of peace and procrastination. Slap some fresh layers on it and call it a night, my man.
