Wi-Fi Bird feeder modifications 4

Charlie along with other partners in damage, attempting to get to the covered feed tray, hacked away at the feed cover until it was ripped away from the servo actuator arm and ended up on the lawn.

Yep... it's back in the workshop!

Those buggers are strong and smart and I don't want to loose the jousting competition... thinking. Went for a walk around the garden and found this large pot plant saucer that hopefully will prevent them from grabbing the edge of the feed cover.

Looks my like Amazon orders will be delayed!



 

Why didn't I think of this before?

 From December 2023 I have had lots of Outlook 2021 calendar health appointments and wondering why I did not think to do printouts like this. With poor eyesight I have been standing at counters struggling try to read the phone to check if the suggested appointment date is going to clash with another one!

I have printed three copies with date range from this week to end of January. One for ET to back me up, one for the car and one for the computer desk.

Camry reversing/rear cameras - Part 1

Yesterday we repaired the Mitsubishi Lancer Rear View Camera Mirror.

Today we are working on my 1991 Toyota Camry installing a number plate reversing camera and a rear parcel shelf camera. 

This is going to take 2 or 3 sessions over a couple of days!

Medion Wireless Rear View Mirror - Revisited

Purchased this from ALDI in August 2015 and earlier this year it stopped working. I have been dealing all year with the left eyeball and poor vision so like many other things it had to wait - until now.


Got it working... read on.

So much cat food?

Last time I did a head count we had two cats.

Sunday family working bee - Part 1

I have been solo prepping last week for tomorrow's working bee -  see my previous posts. This afternoon under shade I managed to lug the extension ladder through what we call the cottage garden and up against the tree that is being lopped tomorrow - yay

Finally after lopping smaller shrubs last week the extension ladder is in the right starting position.

Table side by side GOOD
