Electronic paperwork for Bavaria Backroads trip, 2024
This data shows the activities and highlights of our Backroads Biking Trip, which took place in southern Germany (Bavaria), and continued to Austria, in June 2024.
This data was displayed on our phones.
In the past - this data was provided to all the participants by way of printouts.
Now, it is all electronic. I found it tricky to find and save this information.
Much tougher than it used to be, when we had printouts.
See this video, for the actual Backroads ride.

Outdoor restroom -- the best I have ever seen, June 2024

I saw this outdoor restroom setup in Geneva, Switzerland. As you watch this video, you can understand why I consider it to be the best outdoor restroom I have ever seen. As I was getting to the door of the restroom, and going Inside, I was saying out loud, comments about “payment.” Yet there was no payment needed to use those EXCELLENT restrooms. What was that all about? All to often, to use re...

CPAP machine, travel, and distilled water, July 2024
zhlédnutí 44Před 28 dny
Obtaining distilled water for a CPAP machine can be difficult when traveling overseas. My wife and I determined a method to transport a few days supply of distilled water - in checked bags. We found that a liter of distilled water, carried in a sturdy plastic bottle, can supply enough for about 3 days use. That has proven quite useful for airline travel. That allows more time to find a source o...

dryer tune-up, Kenmore, Model 417.94802301, March 2024 After the successful repair, you might ask, “How did you solve that other strange noise?” Well, I figured it was from the new belt. Which was a smaller “diameter” (with more tension) than the old belt. So, I put the old belt back in. And I will save the new belt, until I must install the replacement.

texture ceiling with loop roller, 2024

After a pipe leak in the ceiling of my laundry room, the maintenance people replaced the pipes, and then put in two new sheetrock panels. I was then left with “texturing” the ceiling of that room. After I had bad luck with a spray can of “popcorn” texture, I decided to use a different method I had good success with, in the past. I used a “loop” roller to provide the texture for the ceiling.

    Your new camera lacks the electronic viewfinder. Do you miss it? I like my Sony HDR-CX12 but the LCD goes invisible here in south Florida! What OS are you using on your MacBook? What version of iMovie? Thank you!

    • @energyconservationinhousin5504
      @energyconservationinhousin5504 Před 7 měsíci

      Yes, I miss the viewfinder. Trying to see what is being filmed in bright outdoor light is tough with the side LED panel. Sometimes I don’t know what I have, until I review the final video, indoors. It’s even worse, when your eyes are in the “bifocal” time of life. the panel is up close focus, yet often straight ahead of me. Tough to use with bifocals. Even worse, in bright ambient light. iMovie version 8.0.6 OS X El Capitan, version 10.11.6 on my MacBook. And it won’t allow updates, even with Google Chrome. It is also incompatible with tax programs. I wonder how long the system will let me even send email. Before much longer, the computer might not work at all.

    @wendellcoleman1137 Před 9 měsíci

    For those wanting to "fine tune" your enjoyment level for this trip, let me make just a couple of recommendations about the direction of travel. For those just making this trip as a one way trip, and isn't a round trip, I'd suggest you start your trip (again if you have an option) from the Lorton, Virginia depot and head south. I found the Lorton, VA depot to be superior to the Sanford, FL one in several respects. The directional singage at the Florida location was inadequate for a first time Auto Train traveler, both for getting to the Depot, and finding your specific passenger car once you started to board. The Sanford location had NO signage indicating the entrance to the facility! You just had to guess which pair of non-descript railroad tracks you had to turn into and travel down quite a ways before you could tell you were in the right place. It was quite easy to guess wrong and have to drive back and forth over the same section of tracks! Also, the Lorton Depot had a large sign that was right outside the boarding exit, that listed all the passenger cars, with arrows directing you to either turn left or right to find your specific car! The Sanford Depot had no such sign, which required ALL the passengers to ask the same Cabin attendent where they needed to go. Kinda' sh***y in my view! Additionally, the Lorton Depot was superior to the Sanford one because the Gift Shop was much larger and nicer, with more items (snacks and comfort items) to purchase for use on the trip, plus the Lorton location had an outdoor patio, where you could sit, eat, and view the interesting car loading process. The Sanford locale had no such outdoor seating, but there wasn't anything to see outside as the car loading process was done out of sight behind the back of a building. Kinda' disappointing IMO!

    • @njnjnjsg699
      @njnjnjsg699 Před 7 měsíci

      This is very incorrect. I was a first time traveler from the Sanford location and it was perfectly fine and almost identical to the lorton location! Everything was easy to find if you have common sense.

With the more reasonably priced variable speed pole sanders available, might be time to let this one go.

    Thanks for the video. I just installed mine today and used the tape not the screws. Only time will tell if it works this way. My roof is 10/12 and the shingles are heavy weight so there is a lot of pressure on the Gutter Guards. They really snaped into place so maybe the pressure on them will hold them in place. I can always put the screws in later if needed.

    Hello, pls guide how to insert spring and bearing

    • @energyconservationinhousin5504
      @energyconservationinhousin5504 Před rokem

      There is a specific hole that the spring and ball bearing fit into. The ball bearing rests against a "dimple" on the filter wheel. The spring rests against the ball bearing. Then there is a matching part that secures the spring and ball bearing into the filter assembly. You have to figure out the mechanics of the ophthalmoscope you are working on. And then get the scope back together in its original configuration. Otherwise -- give up, and buy a new scope. It is an intricate and carefully designed device. And it is tough to figure out, and to work on.
