Good morning, fixers. I had some stuff hauled away and forgot the wheelbarrow was near the pile so it got wheeled away. If you can fix that short of my buying a new one....

Remember when Amazon just sold books?
Back in the day when losing money was an attractive stock buy.I remember talking to my dad, looking at options for investment. Amazon came up and he said they were losing money on every sale and would be a lousy investment
What coulda been
Great idea for a thread, watching (and researching capacitors for my AC unit )
How do you fix a yappy dog so it doesn’t yap while remaining inside the lines of being humane?I really wish this was open to all fixes. I just posted a vape related thing on the Provi thread cause I am too tired and or lazy to go looking for a more specific place to ask about a berserker mini rda clone.
Oh well, I don't have much expertise in the fix it arena unless you have questions about dog showing, bartending, social work or haircuts.
Okay, here's something I have a lot of experience with.How do you fix a yappy dog so it doesn’t yap while remaining inside the lines of being humane?
You misunderstand, Anna. These are MY dogs (well, one of them barks at any perceived encroachments on her domain- like anybody walking down the street in her sight. And our neighbors all have the audacity to take their morning walks while I'm relaxing with my coffee).I KNOW THIS ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, so there is a certain frequency you can load on your radio with speakers and like, it may be slightly different per dog. My husband showed me the other night. We have like 12 yappy dogs next door, and he played it... And it works. You do it for a while, then sort of intermittently, and eventually they shut the hell up.
Alternately, you can move.
Would you happen to have a photo to post?This fixes nothing but it will prevent you from spending some cash or experiencing aggravation. I bought a Microsoft Surface Pro 3, I have now established my bona fides as not the brightest of guys currently above ground. I read on a forum about the power supply on these things being very prone to wire breakage where the cord magnetically attaches to the computer - zero strain relief which is a feature not a bug. I decided that it was not happening to me. I had several different sizes of silicone tubing from my beer brewing days. I took a length about two inches long and slit it length ways. I bought some GO2 Gel by Loctite which has to advantage of remaining somewhat flexible when dry. I shot a modest amount of gel on the cord then slipped the slit silicone tubing over about 1/2 inch of the magnetic piece and the rest over the cord itself. The diameter of the tubing was slightly smaller than the magnet but fit perfectly around the cord. That proved enough strain relief that the cord never bent at an angle sufficient to break the wire. The power cord out lasted the computer.
I have since used this idea on other things. For example, we have a vacuum cleaner that the lovely Mrs CMD insists on making certain that the cord is wrapped very tightly as it comes out of the handle. Eventually this OCD about loose cords prevents the thing from running. Fixing that cord then periodically gave me something useful to do on rainy days. Same trick, the semi-flexible glue and the tubing prevents strain breakage while keeping the cord sufficiently tightly wrapped.

As you suggest, would work for a lot of things.Next time my daughter comes down for a free meal, I'll have her take a picture or two with her phone, email it to me and I'll post them. Glad you liked it.

Is this the stuff you're talking about?I have done that on a few things. After thinking of it, except for the vacuum, it has been more of a preventative. That glue is great, the way it dries is kind of unique. It is kind of like silicone but it is more rigid than silicone but it dries less rigid than most other glues I've used. It takes a while to actually set up completely but, man, is it sticky. Next time I use it, I'll use a Nitrile glove because I like to move glue around with my finger more than other kinds of tools.
