re inventing the wheel. again. The topic is ' how to carry your cellphone ' or really - drop mitigation. Assuming the cellphone will get dropped.
Ideas. wear a lanyard w / phone attached. Ah, 2 short and the phone becomes a heavy necklace. 2 long and the phone be - comes a pendulum.
next is the belt holster. yes, always there but cumbersome depending on length of time carried and also - what else is on the belt.
There is the pocket solution, pant pocket and the phone becomes a cushion ( shatter city there ). Shirt pocket and the phone launches over the concrete as you bend over. [ this last is my specialty ]
latest attempt. A lanyard. a plastic detachable clip. a cloth eyeglass case and drawstring. The options, a ) at length and tucked into a pocket. The cloth case prevents easy sliding. AND the lanyard is still around your neck. If it is a ' kangaroo ' style pocket, the whole assembly can be pocketed.
On my jac shirt, the lanyard passes thru the pocket 's button hole for extra attaching.
Or detach the clip as needed and the lanyard is a light chain and the cloth bundle is free to move around
Like mentioned. another go at the wheel
We shall see said the Zen Master
Experimental dinner. Boxty or Irish potato pancakes. Mash + grated potato. Add flour, baking powder and buttermilk. Fry them up

last night, was Leacock Let s Meet Up [ LLMU ]. Normally, we sit in the open food court. and we did but arbitrarily decided that three people can head to a restaurant. I offered to drive and we headed upstairs. However , just peeking over we saw two stand alone eateries. One was Sansotei Ramen.
Took a flyer and got surprised. Menu choices were reasoanbly priced and the ramen was close to terrific.
Very quiet and they let us sit a jabber. Turns out that KL had never had ' ramen ' that didn't come in a package
So, all round - great choice
Chores. Decided a week ago, that having a dash cam in the car is useless unless you know how to operate the gizmo. First, how to identify the model. Take a photo and let Google image find the model #. Not quite but Google narrowed the model down to two. And YouTube did the rest.
BUT the instructions were a 26 min video. OR / read a manual in Chinglish / good luck.
Finally, correlated the instructions w / my model, close, enough. THEN the dash cam started to lock on ' record ' which is alright but the time was wrong.
Thirty min of troubleshooting and maybe, maybe the dashcam is working
Next. I was trying to forestall ice up problems that occurred last year. Since May 2026, there is a new heating cable and gutter screen [ keep the leaves out ]. I wanted to have the run off un hampered as the water leaves the downpipe. I created a waterfall effect, except the bottom piping froze. This freeze up required dis assemblying the pipes. So, I built a open trough system [ using an old vacuum shoot form a Toro leaf blower ]. After much, mental gymnastics, I have a way to put up the open trough. Not beautiful but functional [ maybe ]
