The almost-mighty Freightliner came with E-Tracks, and my DW wanted to rip them all out because she didn't understand them. Anyway, I bought two of those spare tire retainers to hold my planned (removable) sink cabinet in place. When my DW saw one as I was unpacking the box, she thought that I had bought it as a toilet paper holder! TL;DR - I subsequently discovered that etrailer.com sells this E-Track vertical paper towel holder that looks a whole lot safer from a jousting perspective, that may or may not be on my Christmas list just because:

E-track is very useful and popular on enclosed race car trailers, too.

That stuff walks the dog when you have the need.

I bought a drafting chair (tall office chair) for the new workbench in my garage. The casters were so, um, enthusiastic that the chair would roll across the garage whenever I tried to sit in it. My brother called it the "Death Chair." So I bought these feet to replace the casters. Much improved.

A little project for over the Xmas break... hardwood flooring for the home theatre. I just finished loading it in the room to get it climatized.
Maybe I'll post some photos in the house projects thread later.

Logitech M720 mouse. Supposedly you can switch this between machines with just a button press. I'm hoping it works so I can control the Dell box that runs my camera software and then flip back to my laptop.

I have the K860 keyboard and have the three toggle modes also: one for my work computer, one for my personal computer and the third one attached to my iPhone if I want to speed up my text message responses!

8+ year old desktop finally needs to be replaced. It just can't keep up with the audio and video production stuff I do.

Found a great deal on an open box PowerSpec at Microcenter. Not a gamer, so perfectly happy with a little lower end GPU. But it seems that gaming pcs have the best bang for the buck in meeting my audio/video needs these days.

12th Gen i7, GeForce RTX 3060Ti, 32GB RAM, 1TB NVMe drive, liquid cooled.

Actually 32GB is more than is technically needed for my use. Even with that I'm still tempted to push it to 64GB just because

Direct from Canada a new backseat cover for Bluebelle

JJ 911SC · 12-26-2022, 12:25 PM

2nd pair in less then 12 months

The deck broke and low and behold that part is not cover under their warranty...

Got the new pair at 50% (Boxing Day sale). With GV everything is cover by the warranty.

This thing has gotten insanely dirty over the last couple days.

Laser parking aid. Got sick of the lollipop reflectors. This one is tiny and sits on the garage door opener. Drive in until the line hits the edge of the dash. Done.

I have the previous model to yours, also from Micro Center. Excellent computer and I've yet to find a game it can't handle at high quality.

Mine is wired into the light socket of the opener. That way the laser turns on when the garage door opens and turns off when the light turns off after a few minutes. Right now it's using this chintzy looking light socket adapter. I don't need the light itself, so I'm going to replace that with a flush screw in socket.

The kit comes with a sound activation module that is supposed to turn on when it hears the opener, but as far as we can tell, it's a POS and doesn't work at all. So we skipped it and just went with this setup.
