This is the squirrel’s new door. It made the door. Previously when the new roof was put on the roofer’s removed a short section of fascia that gave the critters direct access to the attic. I covered the hole but apparently they really liked the digs.

Finding the Ultimate Theory of Everything March 4, 2005 9:33 am
Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeCould two lookalike galaxies, barely a whisker apart in the night sky, herald a revolution in our understanding of fundamental physics? Some physicists believe that the two galaxies are the same – its image has been split into two, they maintain, by a “cosmic string”; a San Andreas Fault in the very fabric of space and time. …

We have a new border. Collecting rent is difficult. I thought it was cute that I was watching this critter collecting building materials for its nest until I realized where it was going.

add a commentWiring Harness Complete March 2, 2005 11:28 am
Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeOur station wagon is now legally allowed to tow a trailer. The trailer hitch had originally been installed without a lighting harness as it was only intented to ever carry a bike rack.
I think about when I started learning about electronics (8 or 9) and I wonder if I’m giving my children enough knowledge. As I work with Noah on rulers and angles and sanding I think about what skills I am giving him and what skills I’m neglecting to pass on. I watch closely to see what he can intuitively figure out and I ponder how to hone his common sense.
I enjoy my adaptability. I want my children to derive as much pleasure from achievement.
add a commentThe Harness Saga March 2, 2005 10:23 am
Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeSo I attached the white ground wire. I identified the brown wire on the car as the tail light and attached the brown wire from the harness. I identified the red wire on the car as the brake light and attached the red wire from the harness. I identified the green wire with the yellow stripe as the left turn signal and attached the yellow wire from the harness.
There! I was done and ready to test.
Then I saw this bundle of green cord. Panic! What does that go to? I just attached yellow to green. Oh no! Did I get left and right backwards. Think. Think. Make an L. No. I did it right. Oh! The green bundle goes to the right turn signal..er, that’s on the other side of the car. How will I .. ugh.

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeIt’s Pinewood Derby time again! Noah and I are hard at work putting together his car at the last minute (the race is tomorrow). We’ve decided to make the Pink Pearl eRacer! The car is shaped and sanded. Noah has learned a lot about straight edges, rulers, angles, Drimel tools, and sanding. I’ve learned that I’m still a procrastinator.
It’s also cookie time in TN! I have to install a wiring harness in the station wagon this morning so that U-Haul will rent us a trailer otherwise we have no way to pickup the quantity of cookies our Girl Scouts did so well selling. I’m mostly there. I’ve identified (with much effort) where the wires will route and that was probably the hardest part. I’ve grounded it and am now in the process of identifying the other wires.
