Is this the same rv- that you've had in your hangars for a little while now? (And refresh my memory; is this a 3 or a 4?)

[rsrguy]

Its a -4, I had another friends cowling before this.

A couple of small jobs this morning before the lady comes to cut hair. I used the tractor to tip the biggest water barrel so I could remove the bottom plug. Them got a jack stand under the front of a hay wagon so I could remove a wheel which was reluctant to hold air (a very undesirable trait in a wheel). I won't mess with the wheel, a friend has the setup.

Went to a friends house today to help him bleed the brakes on his SILs van. One of the calipers was locked up, so he bought a new pair, mounted them, but was having a hard time bleeding them.

I took a look, and he had the bleeder screws at the bottom*. We swapped them and bled the brakes.

*He’s a good wrench and it was just something he overlooked. I’ve been there and done that somewhere.

Removed the awful boob lights in the basement unit and replaced with “canless recessed LED” lights. These things are great - only need 2” depth, three lumen levels, five temperature levels, tiltable, don’t need to mount anything to joist, just cut appropriate size hole in ceiling drywall, connect up the wires, and pop the light into the hole, then rotate and angle the light as you wish. They have a little box that you make the connections in, which serves as the code-required junction box, then stuff that box into the ceiling and plug the pigtail into the light.

Installed a bunch of Yale Smart Locks. These are keypad-and-fingerprint replacements for a standard deadbolt. You can control who has access, give and revoke access, track who enters, etc. Standard key as well. Pretty awesome. Rather expensive. I’m going to replace all our deadbolts at home too.

Installed some Blink security cameras. I’ve raved about these before. The basic camera is battery powered, a pair of AAs lasts over a year if there’s not much activity, so there’s no wires to run. Other cameras need power connection, like if you want to pan/tilt , motion detection lights, etc. Motion detection, two-way audio, clips saved to cloud, etc. My account is pre-2020 so I don’t pay subscription fees.

I heard about a guy who did that with his 911SC.
