Today I *finally* had some time to play with my brand new humongous cutting mat (by Olfa) and super long cutting ruler! My old cutting mat was small and completely impractical, so I signed up at Joann's and waited for a 50% off coupon. I've had both here for almost a month!
Remote Control Caravan
I had a motor mover fitted to our caravan soon after we bought her. It was expensive but it means that I can safely get her out of Mum back garden on my own. Without it we could just about manage it with three of us.

Let me give you a little factoid about myself, I live w/n driving distance of Pike Brewing. If not for its downtown location, I would probably be a regular of their brewpub. However, finding free parking in downtown Seattle is like finding a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow…aka, it ain’t gonna happen unless you’re very, very lucky.
w/ that said, the brewery itself is a good brewery. Yin: nothing I have ever tried from them has been a bad brew. Yang: nothing I have ever tried from them has been an outstanding brew. Their beer is good. Easy to drink. Hell, this week’s FFF is 9% ABV, & I tasted no alcohol.
Pike’s Monk’s Uncle is a good, quality beer. Not what Stone or Boulevard would produce. Pike, to me, markets to an audience in the “gateway” stage of their beer consumption. Those people who are bored w/ the swill the evil giants produce, but not yet ready to fully dive into the specialty craft brews. Then again, they are a tourist attraction in Seattle. Hopefully, they’ll take the Deschutes route, and produce a more daring special release of this. Would love to see what they can come up with.

This is but a sampling of the plethora of remotes we have. I didn't include the cat food bag that acts as a remote for the cats, or a bag of Ruffles or pig ears that can control the dogs.
Strobist info: SB800's camera left through grids @ 1/64th power.
Oh, and there is a strand of Christmas lights there midst the remotes. Walking from the parking garage to work the other day...this was hanging out on the curb. The Christmas lights were gone this morning.
This was our TV/bed remote at the hospital and it sucked. The TV's sound came out of this thing and it sounded like complete shit. And they wanted you to pay $10 a day for more than 7 channels. Screw you, 1986.

During our Christmas 2014 trip to Oklahoma, I lost my Canon RC-1 wireless remote, which I'd had for nine years and which worked with all my Canon DSLRs. So I replaced it with the Vello FreeWave Plus wireless remote control.
The RC-1 was a simple, one-button remote that used a watch battery. It used infrared and thus required line of sight to the front of the camera. Its range was limited to about 25 feet.
On the other hand, this Vello FreeWave unit uses radio frequencies, and therefore does not require line of sight and has a range of 100m. It can handle singe shot, multi-shot burst, bulb mode, and timer.
Pictured here is the receiver, which physically plugs into the camera via a short cable. It can function as a shutter release on its own -- even with batteries! -- or simply receive signals from the transmitter.
This bench was too perfect to pass up, even if I had to stand with my head in a tree.
Thanks to Holly for being my human tripod.
This is a series I did with Adam and Yedsa, in January, when they were having a hard rubbish collection in their area.
This unit is not being manufactured and is not for sale, according to the company. Too bad, as it would be nice to have as a back up to my hand-held remote control unit for this pan/tilt setup.
Compare the cab with the smashed cab in the previous series. This is after much cementing, filling, sanding and repainting! All of which, I am sure, will eventually be a waste of time after the next inevitable accident! I do have a couple of spare cabs now (and virtually every other mechanical spare part should I need it)!
In some of the pics you can see the tail still has a slight downward bend. I do have a complete replacement assembly which I will probably attached while I do a better repair on the original unit. If you think you can see tape across the canopy "glass", that's because you can. Two layers of clear parcel tape, in fact. This is to guard the canopy against cracking on those occasions when the balance bar strikes it - and that can occur either if you make too violent a control input; or you crash; or even when the onboard battery dies.
