Parcel Delivery - A Kind And Special Gift
[ Tuesday April 5th 2022 at 8:20 am ]
A special gift has arrived. It is from a friend I've made while playing Wreckfest who often comes on Discord. He has done me a big favour. What is in this box is going to be so helpful to me.
Initially I asked if he'd buy me two extension cord holders that aren't sold here in Canada and I'd reimburse him for these and the cost of shipping. One is for a traditional extension cord. The other is for a very long Ethernet cable that requires a holder. This is the Ethernet cable I typically use for troubleshooting or when something has gone horribly wrong. For the time being I am planning to use it with my audio recording - music computer. This will allow me to regularly go live on youTube as I play the piano. This will give me the ability to easily put the extension cord away when I finish each time. I worry about tripping and falling because of the degraded state of both my legs.
The other thing in this box is a microwave oven transformer. I made a simple mistake when I trying to modify the first transformer for my spot welder: The tool slipped and I cut into the primary coil by accident. I had to start with a new donor microwave. His wore out at the same time. He has graciously given to this. My initial use of the spot welder is for a new cage I am making for Rocky The Hamster. The cage I am starting with is made for guinea pigs. It requires twice the number of bars to be suitable for a hamster. These will be spot welded on. I love Rocky. I enjoy caring for him. I am looking forward to making the spot welder and then using this to create his new home.
