What did you do today non-detailing related?

Several people said that they enjoyed seeing the house in progress so I thought I would post this

The builder and realtor created the first half of the video in early April before we closed and took possession and there were a few punch list items that needed to be done

The furniture was digitally added for the video

The second half was just photographed this past Monday and added to the original video

It’s weird that they didn’t take a single picture of the garage when they did the interior shots

I’m still working on organizing it and I keep the little car in the larger side but the 4Runner lives outside for now

The smaller bay is full of lawn and garden stuff that will eventually go in a 12’x24’ barn roof shed that will sit on the gravel pad next to the garage

I’m still playing with lighting and storage

Put some 'monster truck' wheels on my rc buggy. I say 'monster' because this is a 1/18 scale. It's small, but rips decently with lipo battery and brushless motor. Traxxas stampede for size comparison.

I got a kayak 2-3 months ago and it has been a ton of fun.

I have always enjoyed videos and photography and have tiktok and youtube channels for my business (martial arts academy.)

I borrowed a friend's gopro 360 max camera. It was awesome but the batteries only last an hr or so. As you know in fishing it's hard to predict when the good footage will be.

Solution 3br powersports cage with long power cable. This allows you to run the camera for hrs on end without the internal battery. I'll be using a ryobi 18v battery to power the camera.

I put together a quick go pro pvc mount and plastidipped it black. I look forward to filming some more kayak fishing soon

Cut wet grass this morning. Rain all weekend. Could not cut. The window was this morning. This system really does not clear out till Thursday. That CUB CADET handled it with flying colors. Never stumbled or bogged down.
 
Was walking the trash canister out to the road this morning and noticed this

It was too dark to see well so I just went back out to look at it

My weather app said it was 35 this morning but it was obviously colder than 32

I changed the tail/brake light bulbs in the FJ. I've fitted some LED DRLs to the front, and they are wired to come on with the park lights, so my tail lights are almost always on when I'm driving. I decided to change to red LED bulbs, why not.

I took the covers off, and realised the access holes are made for small hands, I can get my hand in, but I can only just touch the back of the socket. Why do they make these access points so small. Long nose pliers do the trick, but I have to be careful, I don't want to break anything.

Success. New bulbs fit fine, and work whichever way you put them in, which isn't normal for LEDs, and they're brighter. Old glass bulbs still worked, but they're a bit black inside, so I don't know how long they had left. Also noticed they're made in Japan, so they'd be original, 12 years old and still going, cool.

I have experimented with LED headlight bulbs, I've bought 2 different sets to try out, the first just put out a blob of light, I had to aim the headlights all the way down so I didn't blind everyone, the second had a better pattern, but the light was uneven, they had hot cold spots within the pattern, then they developed an intermittent flicker, very annoying. I also found that I had run them with a load ballast, or hi-beam wouldn't trigger the relay for my LED light bar, so they ended up drawing just as much current as my halogen bulbs.

Separate to all that, no LED replacement bulbs are legal for on road use, they're not compliant with the Australian Design Rules, although nobody seems to care, I've never heard of any one getting pulled over or fined because of them. I could get ADR approved complete LED headlight assemblies from someone like Stedi, but they'd be about $800.

I'm currently running Narva Long Life bulbs, the filament is much thicker than standard, they're no brighter, but the pattern is good and consistent.

Even though my 2008 4Runner/Hilux Surf came with the world's dimmest halogen bulbs, it was factory fitted with projector lenses with the proper horizontal cutoff

Over the years I have run several sets of HID and LED bulbs without all the blinding of oncoming traffic issues

I put in some wicked HIR bulbs designed for the Dodge Viper in the high beams over a decade ago and they are still running strong

I also replaced the stock ARB fog lamps twice over the years and they failed both times so I got the custom filler plates for the fog light cutout and put in the LED lights

Along with the Lightforce Strikers wired to selectively fire up with the high beams, and rewiring the low beams and the LED "fog" lights to stay on when I hit the high beams I can put out an amazing amount of light

I’m sure your LED light bar is way brighter than my old school halogen Lightforce Strikers though

Hitting kangaroos and moose at night sucks

Took my new toy out and put a hundred rounds through it and got the red dot sighted in. I’d say this one is a winner. Ridiculously easy to shoot and just a fun gun to add to the arsenal.



Just pretend those two holes to the left aren’t there.

Right after telling my wife I haven't shot since my bachelor party.

Two years ago....lol.

I saw my AK going for nearly $3k on gun broker not sure when that became a thing but OK.

My daughter enjoys Top Gear. When a car starts going around a track or driven aggressively, either that or the accompanying cinematics get her quite excited as she starts squeeling and bounching. Makes me so proud 🥹

I was looking at the M&P 5.7 but online reviews said that the PSA Rock was a better gun. I checked their site and they had it on sale for $400. As soon as I got the email that they were back in stock I clicked buy and I have no regrets. I already had the red dot laying around waiting for a new home so it was a no brainer.
