Cell phone madness

Worst purchase ever was buying an LG G4 cell phone. Although I do have a love for the machine. The design was clean and nice with user replaceable battery to boot. Plus it could act like a IR remote control since my actual remove controls with membrane buttons have failed more than their share. The […]

Mr. Fix it

Ok, not Marvel’s Grey Hulk but feeling a bit good. The shower head was always spraying at the neck. Somehow the washer inside the hose got all twisted and mangled. Home Depot didn’t have exactly the same washer but found something that worked reasonably well. We’ll see how it goes after a week to see
