Mrs.C saw a mouse in the house today. She's deathly afraid that it will crawl on her while she sleeps.
I had to buy a complete arsenal of mousie extermination crap. For one mouse. Buster dog, who eats these things in the yard, is sleeping on the job.

The battery works. It iss a Mighty Max YTX5L-BS, 12V, 4ah, 80CCA. It is a little bit shorter (L to R) so I used some double sided Gorilla tape and some foam to fill the gap.

Not so much as bought as transferred. Moved the SiriusXM account from Mrs.C's Renegade to the F150. The only time it was ever used was when I was driving. We're planning a drive to Californy and I need tunes.

A SOG fasthawk, because it was $9 at the local bin store... the edge profile left a lot to be desired, but thats easily fixable...

Loitering through a flea market with the wife I spotted a few of these rolls on a table. I've had an idea of making my own right side cover Templar gasket for some time. However with the retail price of appropriate gasket material and the trouble to make them from scratch didn't seem cost-effective at all.
There were five rolls of this on his table. I whipped out a ten and said I'd tale them all. Guy said he had some more and just gave his whole box for ten, Thirteen rolls ought to hold me for a while. Now the fun part. Getting the copy of the original right. Easy way would be to buy a gasket and copy it. Hard ways are one, scanning the actual cover or two, using a photograph and scaling it. I've done a bit of both successfully. Second challenge is getting the stupid gasket material flat enough so the Cricut machine won't choke on it. I've already made some other gaskets successfully. Third challenge, finding the time. Currently all in on trying to add a third bay to my two bay garage. Digging footings and pouring concrete literally now. Took a cool off break. Back to it.

Bought a new tool tube for the Hawk. Lots more room over the stock one. I bought it at Rural King for $10. It was cheaper than buying components to make one pic next to stock.

Literally strapped on the new tube. Covered the hose clamps with red shrink tube. Was gonna use black, but like the red strap accent. I'm happy with the results

Yeah, that turned out nice. Never thought about shrink tubing the hose clamps. I'll have to try that.

I had the shrink tube on hand and I wanted to cover the clamp. I didn't actually heat and shrink, just used it like a sleeve
