Far More Than Just a XML T6 Flashlight Fix
This awesome LED flashlight is sold under a number of different brand names. Recently we had an experience when trying to recharge the battery that the switch mechanism literally came apart spewing the parts in different directions..
So, when faced with this do you simply order a new flashlight, or do you avail yourself to the greatest educational resource of all time, YouTube?
A quick search of “power push button assembly fix for XML T6” resulted in a YouTube video.
A bit of assembly and success was with reach.
Everything back together!
Reassembly complete and everything works just as good as new. The moral of the story is that whenever you are faced with a situation you do not know the answer to, search YouTube, it is likely someone has already posted the answer you are looking for.
Garden Cleanup
Nutsedge is a very common weed on our RV lot and it is really hard to eradicate. Unfortunately the water leak we had in the garden while were traveling in our RV this summer gave it one of the things it most loves, plenty of water. However, it looks like the application of a herbicide specially formulated for nutsedge is working very well while not harming any of the nearby ornamental plants.
We also had an abundance of shrubby type plants and trees sprout and get a good start. The problem with eradicating these plants is they are adapted to the arid climate we have and thus have extremely deep tap roots making them nearly impossible to kill by simply cutting them off. A very careful application of another specific herbicide looks to be eliminating them. Only time will tell whether it is permanent or if they will continue to grow back.
Preparing to Travel for Three Months
In approximately 3 weeks we will be leaving the US and traveling through Europe, North Africa and the Middle East for three months. Planning for all that travel takes planning. The family planner has been busy planning knowing full well that based on past overseas travel what we plan and what happens is likely to differ. It is called the adventure of travel and what happens always makes for a great story. Take a chance, live Life to its fullest. We do!
Home Winery
On the bottom is where the wine making equipment is kept. Shelf 1 has wine that is aging in bottles. The top shelf is where empty wine bottles and bag in box containers are stored. As you can see I use recycled bottles from friends. The bag in box containers are obtained the same way. All the wines are made from wine kits which I purchase online from several different sources. It is a “pleasurable” hobby in more ways than one.
