All I got today. Cleaned out the last of the bins and boxes stashed in a big grey tote. They went into their new home, or trash. And vacuum sealed moving pads went into the grey tote. And I started a front cam replacement...



Inch by inch man! Counter stays clean, workbench stays clean, and I try to mind my manners every day!

Good Morning SA! Treat Little Big Red to an oil change today, along with a couple errands. That's all, other than finishing up the replacement front camera.

 

If you know someone working Oil and Gas in the Eagle Ford Shale area, I have a RV spot available, ~ 22 mins South of Kenedy or Karnes City area (no rv spots), and limited availability else where.

Shaded RV lot, spot, space with full hook ups.

Afternoon gents

 

Just not right! "Replace our microwave light, please, dear ".
Smashed and exploded in my fingers. Tried everything to get the stuck base out. Has to remove the whole bottom panel to pull the socket





That white stuff is hot glue they put next to, and INSIDE the socket.

It's a ONE screw job, in real life. Not my life. And you know what? The replacement bulb is no good. Since everything else works, I'm not investing even Google time to "what if it"; the bulb is probably bad out of the box. And the whole thing isn't even a year old.



See that white glob above where a bulb would be? Some floor supervisor solution to complaints that bulbs would not be screwed in tight, causing customer complaints! I know those guys personally. The complaint won't come until much later, and the bosses think they solved the problem.

On a happier QC side for me, despite the delays, I got my new front cam mounted. It's more stylish! The old one was probably flaky because of the wiring issues I discovered a month ago, but I put this one in anyway.

 

Our microwave isn’t mounted properly, it tips forward when the door is open. I need to screw in a block up top to hold it still.




The camera looks good!

 

If that's a shelf mount, like a little 1"x1" strip glued. If it's overhead mounted, it should be supported by nut and bolt from the top.

Thanks. We'll see how long this one goes! It is built a little better than the $10 buck ones I have been using.
