I picked up this string trimmer on eBay some years ago as a bare tool. It worked fine except for the middle (auxiliary) handle that would flop from side to side as you used the trimmer. It appears there must have been a small key that fit into a groove in the handle clamp and slid in a groove on the upper part of the collapsible tube. Dimensions for the key are approx. 7mm wide at the base, 4mm at the top, 3mm thick and about 50mm long. I glued it into the groove in the clamp to hold it in place.

Let's look at recycling an obsolete remote control for use with Kodi on a Raspberry Pi. Everyone probably has a drawer full of old remote controls someplace. Here's a handy way to recycle one of those to make a great Kodi remote for a Raspberry Pi media center. I have my latest Raspberry Pi 2 connected to a Westinghouse PT-16H610S 16" LCD TV. I initially had hoped it may support the HDMI-CEC interface, but no luck there. Then I used a Flirc IR receiver to learn the Westinghouse RMT-05 remote control codes. That worked to a point, but this TV seems to be decoding and acting on all the remote codes even while in HDMI input mode. So if I hit the Channel Up key, it would switch to TV mode and tune the next channel. So I erased the Flirc receiver and instead used an old Pinnacle Systems USB tuner box remote. Unlike the TV remote, this device has a full complement of multi-media buttons, even more so than the typical Media Center Extender remote. The next step then is to first use the Flirc Kodi controller to set up the basic control keys for Kodi: - http://blog.flirc.tv/ then use the Kodi Keyboard Controls page for the additional keys: - http://kodi.wiki/view/Keyboard_controls So in the next video, I'll show how I set this up and how it works: - https://youtu.be/GiKdjT-PYn8 As always, thanks for watching! ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Oc-NJX1DEU

While I had the Barista Express machine open for repair, let's look at the grinder adjustment mechanism. It seems to be a rather simple, yet functional mechanism. There's a motor and gear box that turn the inner burr that is fixed in position. The outer or top burr can move up and down using a threaded adjuster. The adjuster is a large cog driven by the smaller grinder adjustment dial that has numbers from 1-fine to 16-coarse. Total vertical movement is less than a millimeter. Newer machines apparently have a further adjustment on the top burr where it can be set in 1 of 10 positions to change the grind size. There is nothing inside the grinder that appears to serve as a "calibration" feature and thus the grind "numbers" are just that, numbers. So you really need to figure out what grinder setting to use on your machine with your coffee beans to get a good result: https://youtu.be/06StqafhHe0 Of course, if you don't want to mess around with that, use the double wall / pressurized filter basket and you can pretty much work with any grind of coffee: https://youtu.be/_I37YMFH8Bo Subscribe for more content like this Comment, rate, share & click the bell icon And as always, thanks for watching #breville #bes870 #bes860 #coffeegrinder ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6YAQv_ZJqQ

I had seen water running in the creek to the north side of the GC75BP8 GeoCache site. I had been down the side trail that drops down off the unnamed road the week before. I had also seen signs of a trail on the other side of this canyon that I wanted to check out. I had tried to make a hill shade map but messed up the lat/long calibration, so it wasn't of much use. Instead, I headed up the side of the canyon to see if I could find traces of that old trail. My technique was to go uphill then side hill along the canyon wall and see if I ran into signs of a trail coming up to meet me. I was able to find a couple of sections of old trail and those seem to correspond to what I saw on the hill shade map. I was able to get up as far as I had the week before before I ran short on time and had to turn around. Stay tuned for a return visit with a corrected hill shade map. USGS National Map Viewer w/ Hill Shade layers: https://apps.nationalmap.gov/viewer/ This whole area is part of a single 40 acre parcel of land that the Open Space district purchased around 2001, per the newspaper article. I haven't been able to find out about anything that was located here prior to district clearing the land shortly after acquisition. Here's a demolition project for an adjoining parcel of land, acquired from the same owner in 2013, that was cleared in 2014: https://www.openspace.org/sites/default/files/CGI-BIN/agendas_minutes/2014.07.23_Lobner_AwardofContract_Demolition_r-14-97.pdf More to come...
