Sometimes I think I have too much time on my hands ...

Two Ham Rigs in your car? Although I usually have only one rig in the car, sometimes I want to use a hand-held, too. But the speaker in my hand-held units are almost never adequate in the noisy environment of an automobile. Some years ago, I purchased a pair of 3" wide-range speakers that were a perfect fit in some un-used speaker mounts in the dash of my Olds 98. I connected them to my VHF rig, and I liked the way these speakers sounded so much that when I got rid of the car I kept them. Here's my latest solution to the problem.
Are your automobile's headlights leaving you in the dark? I recently discovered a technology in incandescent lighting called "Halogen Infrared Reflecting", or HIR for short.
Need to weatherproof an indoor webcam for use outdoors? I recently purchased a wireless internet webcam.
One day my wife announced that it was time for us to get one of those large TV projectors. You could've knocked me over with a feather! I mean, this thing wasn't even on my radar!
Are you a "Do-It-Yourselfer" too? Here's a Tool Glossary to help you understand what various tools are used for.
These are just a few of my projects. Some of them may be helpful, others simply entertaining. I'll add to the list from time-to-time, so come back and visit again. You never know what you'll find. If you should run across any "broken" links, please let me know, and I'll try to fix 'em. If you have a favorite you would like to see here, let me know about that, too.
