That light looks pretty good.
If I thought I needed more light for Zoom meetings, I would get something like that.

Got this hammer/multitool for fatherās day. Pretty cool.
Just a couple clips from Mickey
I have a āTurbine Torcherā arriving tomorrow. Looks like a pocket sized flamethrower on YouTube.
Also ordered a couple plasma arc lighters from Amazon
My mom has a bird feeder outside her bedroom window.
She likes to watch the birds eat the bird seed, and her cat is mesmerized by it.
The problem is that we have doves in our area, and they are much larger than the other birds.
She wants to feed the small birds, but not the huge ones.
So she ordered this other bird feeder, and put it up today:

So far, the thing works, and the "flying pigs" can't eat the bird seed.
The doves can't seem to figure that it's impossible for them to use the bird feeder.
It's pretty funny watching them try and fail over and over again.
I wonder if they'll ever finally give up.
Here's a very similar bird feeder:

It looks the same, and I wouldn't be surprised if it were manufactured in the same factory.
We think that she'll be buying less bird seed now, which was the primary goal.
Got a coupla solar fountains for 8bux a pop courtesy of vipon.
Figure Iāll make a little water-park for the birds. Pools, slides, fountains, everything. All welcome, even doves.
When I lived in San Jose, I knew a woman with a pretty decent sports car.
We had pigeons that lived in our neighborhood, and they would "do their business" on her car.
It infuriated her, and she bought a high-powered water gun and shot the pigeons with it, which made no difference for her car.
She called them "flying rats."
If youāre hungry, and want food desperately, getting hosed once or twice is still worth it. Itās eatingā¦ itās survival.
Canāt have a feeder only for ācertain birdsā any more than you can have a restaurant with a āwhites onlyā or āno Irishā sign in the window. Thatās just mean. And I got big angry starlings who stand on the bread I toss out for the normal birds, just to keep them away. So I wait for them to engorge themselves, then put out bread for the normal birds.
I put out the leftover catfood that my cats donāt finish (topping off with some crunchies if not enough), and let whoever wants it eat it. Mostly itās New Cat, sometimes Fuzzy Cat, but tāother day were 2 big fat chittering raccoons(!) who were bitch-slapping each other for access to the bowl.
Iād rather have someone eat it than throw it out.
You might want to re-read my post.
I had pigeons here for ages. Thereād be a gray churning blanket of feathers that you couldnāt see the ground at all when they were all at the trough. Feathered locusts is what I called āem. Sprinkle birdfeed for the normal birds, theyād land, and 5min later thereād be nothing put pigeoncrap left behind.
Thereās a house whose yard abuts mine, with a ceramic owl on the roof to chase away pigeons. Ha! Not quite effective, ācause I got a pic of that owl with a big fat pigeon sitting on the owlās head.
After not feeding anyone for quite a while, they went elsewhere. Normal birds stayed around, eating seeds, bugs, whatever wild birds eat. Once the pigeons went away, fed the normal birds in slowly increasing quantities. Might get a stray pigeon who comes around, but thatās it.
I received a Smith & Wesson HRT knife
Finally got the Bird Water-Park in operation. Hardest part is finding a ātubā suitable for birds. Look at a crappy plastic bowl to go under a flowerpot or somethingā¦ 10bux. Call it a āreplacement birdbath bowlā andā¦ 67bux.
Took the somewhat cracked (where it snaps into place) lid from an unused spiderwebby storage bin from under the patio, and flipped it upside-down. Olympic-sized bird-pool!
I got a scrap of rubber roofing and stuck it in my old leaky concrete B-bath then weighed it down with some river stones. Iāve also used the planter bases but they fail eventuallyā¦
With the lockdown gone I decided it was time I bought myself something nice.
I have this 11y old VW Iām quite happy with, but the lighting could be better.
So I bought myself a (very legally approved) retrofitting set of H7 LED bulbs.
From Germany. They are very tight-a$$ people if itās about modifications to your car.
But when it comes to safety I say: better tight-a$$ than dead-a$$.
Itās for the low beam headlight only, but 95% of the time is low beam driving.
These bulbs that produce about 220% more light are not (yet) available for every car.
Because the manufacturer has to handle tonās of red tape per bulb, per head light.
So until now it looks like cherry picking aimed at the most sold brands/types of cars.
Cool! Nice display!
But did they really misspell ābuildingā?
Yeah, but they spelled ābulidingā correctly.
That should count for something.
I hate it when my dreams are buliding.
Good catch LB. Always luuk for the positive
