Working from home for the past three years It seems like i'm burning through keyboards. Decided to invest in a Logi Mx wireless keyboard. It's not a lightweight for sure!
It's most stand out feature is the butterly soft touch keys - good god it's a joy to use! |

Bought this practice soldering kit. Trying to hone my skills while learning more on diodes, resistors and circuit boards. Took me about 2 1/2 hrs to make but turned out incredible. Was nice to see how fast my soldering improved. Enjoyed it so much I ordered 3 more kits.

Small purchase, big job
I bought this little gem a few days ago after my MB GLK350 started whining at me that the left low-beam lamp was out. I replaced the right low-beam about a year ago, so I figured I had an idea as to what I faced. Well, I was off a bit. With the GLK350, you have to first remove a ~3 inch convex cover, then reach inside the headlight module and RR the lamp by feel - you cannot see anything. Unlike the right low-beam, the left low-beam access is restricted by some plumbing (AC, I think) and some unidentified diaphragm. I managed to squeek my hand into contortions and complete the job after watching some Youtube videos. The back of my left hand was slightly swollen for a couple of days from the abuse, but I probably saved myself several hundred dollars or more by doing the job myself. Maybe a thousand bucks as some folks (shops) remove the entire headlight module package to do the job.

Should be replaced every 5-7 years. It’s been 6 years and the maker of the current hoses we have (Floodchek), which carry a 20 year warranty, seems to have gone out of business. Worth spending $30 to replace.

Did some shopping online and picked up in store today. DTO had Ryobi recon tools 40% off so I got some things I wanted. Still love my Makita tools the most but they stay on the service trucks, these will be for the house. For $158 I bought 3 batteries, saw, 2 power cleaners, brushes, impact driver, drill and a new charger. Not a bad deal.

Although it really is hard to believe the size and power of some of these Milwaukee tools, 250ft lb from these little guys. Also got another impact set on clearance that will stay in my truck and a basic rasp set.

I've had the 22" Snow Joe for 3 years and it's been pretty solid for our winters (average 80" per year). Auger belt started slipping at the end of last winter if the snow was particularly wet and heavy. Will probably have to replace it the belt this year.
