What did you accomplish today?

Fixed. I have to recalibrate when I switch between snow and summer tires. The option to recalibrate had a red exclamation mark next to it in the infotainment system and I couldn’t press it. Not sure what the problem was but the error is gone. Guess I’m not getting a new car

I haven’t switched tires in years. I live in Michigan, and just use all weather tires. Now that I am retired, if the roads are bad, I just stay home. Even with a 4x4 in the garage, if it’s dicey, I stay home if possible.

Everything is in place and at the rate of decline we're going through right now, she won't finish the year.

Or she might fool everyone and last another 10 years. No one knows. For all legal reasons, I'm mom. I'm the POA, I've got PoPC and I make all the decision for her and the house. I don't need to be her guardian because she can still choose what she wants and doesn't want. It might take a little longer for her to get information out but she does it.

Now for today's accomplishments.

Woke up and fed & med'd mom.

Got up at an ungodly hour for no pay and ran the garbage to the dump. Even after the re-bagging of the garbage, the skunks came last night and tore open some bags.

Oh well, the garbage is gone now.

On to the Mogul mount from my old reflector. I could just pop the fixture out by undoing the wingnuts but I'd like to take the whole mount and bracket off and try to reuse everything if I could. No idea why I'm doin' it. I'll literally be trying to fit a square fixture into a round hole. Extra air cooled light would be nice though.

It's going in a cooltube right? Do you need the adjustment? Will it restrict airflow? Things to consider...

I haven't looked yet but I'm pretty sure the fasteners are rivets.

Drill out the rivets our and replace with a #4 or #6 machine screw .

I built lights all the time..... repurpose ..... repair..... build lamps..... create light art ......

I realize you live in a deep Canadian forest and hardware stores are not on every corner, but as long as you don’t nic the wires ..... its possible to move sockets to new locations or new configurations to suite your needs . But keep in mind fire hazards , screw orientation, sharp edges ( that cut wires or fingers) and have fun with it.

It's a Sunstream single ended air cooled hood that I want to adapt to a double ended hood.
