    Being stranded and walking home...scooter in the trunk?

    Rural, dark, couple minutes break after walking two hours, passing car calls ambulance, three sheriff cars, interrogation, frisk, gave me a ride for the last 2/3 of a mile.

    Being stranded and walking home...scooter in the trunk?

    Don't know... I'll have to check... Nope. Oh well, the walks did me good. Figuring out how to replace a starter, if it was a starter, at a big box parking lot was exciting. PS Including shipping Walmart is $21 cheaper for that scooter.

    It probably will sits in the trunk for five years with a dead battery... right above the flat spare tire. :)

    Being stranded and walking home...scooter in the trunk?

    Saw some folding E-scooters for $120 claiming 20mph 20 miles range. Sounds to good to be true.

    Being stranded and walking home...scooter in the trunk?

    Dead battery = 9 mile walk home in the rain. Dead starter, probably the real problem = 6 mile midnight walk home + police frisking. Thinking of getting a cheap E-scooter that'll fit in the trunk? Anyone have scooter experience?

    House full of mosquito

    In order for my led lamp bulbs to run cooler I cut a 1" hole in the top. By morning dead mosquitos had to be emptied from them. Use at your own risk.

    Smart Phone, stuff everyone knows but me.

    As we all favor. Though my horseless carriage doesn't eat and ____ when not working. Now that everybody has a high def video camera, why aren't there any flying saucers photos?

    Perhaps in a repetitive mass production setting to keep your hands free. A momentary switch wired in series with the original.

    Have I shortened my lawn tractor life?

    Didn't factor the blade tip speed. Multiple pulleys was another confounder so I measured the rpm of a blade spindle pulley. There are three blades, each 16" diameter. Spindle running at 3800rpm X 16"/12 X 3.1416 = 15,917fpm. ANSI B71.1 limit is 18,000fpm for push mowers. I'm OK. PS I stopped...

    Have I shortened my lawn tractor life?

    Correct. Even when sharp the mower blades often didn't cut it. Going over the same grass twice got old. 3540 rpm is OK, great, now only worry is keeping the mice nests out.

    Tools you didn't know you needed until you had them

    In the same vein as the OP is my hot stapler. Staples broken plastic parts back together. Works great, cheap, all types of plastic.
