Sue's Retirement Moment

This first video shows the elements that compose the moment. Cannon is connected to the clock that counts down and fires the cannon. Normally we would use confetti but this time we decided to use dry dog food as it is cleaned up automatically... The music is the Doors playing In The End.

This is the video. Kind of caught us unprepared, apparently the seconds get shorter as one get closer to The Moment.

Drone

Finally bought a drone to use to inspect the gutters.... Someday I'll figure out the best way to share gigabyte videos.

Dining Room table Light Upgrade

This is the Vonn VMC31710AL Modern Two-Tier LED Chandelier Lighting with Adjustable Hanging Light, Silver. Nice light but I also wanted a drop power cable so I repackaged the light's power supplies with a Electrolux vacuum cleaner power reel. Gives me power at the table and can be retracted when not in use. Now I can walk around all sides of the table without tripping over a cable. So I decided to use pine to match the baseboards with the three grooves.

 Guts of the box. four light power supplies, one power reel, one fan/light controller, and four dog food cans to contain the suspension wires.

 I had to weld up a fixture to suspend the box the correct distance and provide a way to rotate the box in case we want to rotate the table.

 With power cable retracted to the lights. the cable can retract all the way to the box.
