I Can Make...

( lj-cuts! )

This night I have wrought two footish (40 cmish) long extension cords, tested by the simple expedient of plugging in an old iPod and seeing if it charged--had something gone catastrophically wrong, I wouldn't want to sacrifice an iPhone, although the work Crackberry was nearly volunteered for the position.

Tomorrow Later today, I will demonstrate this to any Greyhaven resident minor who will listen. It will go nice with the earlier lesson of "help Lorrie pound a nine-foot long grounding rod into the backyard to protect the very shiny stereo from the flakey household wiring".

They were not raised on PBS home improvement shows like I was! Anime, horror, science fiction and fantasy? Faugh! A Jedi craves not These shows do not teach these things! How will they know how to wield screwdrivers and dikes for great justice if no-one shows them!? To say nothing of Allen wrenches, the mighty Torx, the giant redwood, the mighty scots pine, the larch--!

GOOD GODS, THINK OF THE CHILDREN!

I mean, I'm not cool enough to keep locksmith tools in the car or nuffin, but a screwdriver--this I can manage. Also? Chili-lime mayonnaise. You would be surprised how many people wouldn't know how to make mayonnaise on pain of...pain.

Hey, what's this "sleep" thing I've heard so much about?
