I would do that if I knew an easy way to get all the skins off.

Not sure how the Turbo process impacts flavor/texture... you be the judge.

Wanted: Engineer type person with a 3-D Printer interested in making their millions with me on a design to extend the reach of a car fob key. A combo key extender and turning aid.

I'm willing to be collaborator and 1st guinea pig

When you say "extend the reach" of the fob, do you mean like... by millimeters, by inches, or by something bigger?

I'm sure by the time I'm done I'll have spent at least 5x what a remote car starter would cost me.

Key inserts in the steering column on the right.
Ever try to manipulate the key into the ignition with your left hand and turn it - when that hand also has arthritis and tendonitis... just less angry at the time than the right hand? Either hand could be in a brace, too. Further restricting mobility - essentially negating the Great and Powerful Opposable Thumb

I wish I was going to bed. Long day. I did get up to dry driveway sidewalks and front steps. I could see my neighbor got out and took his wife to work. Made a mess of the street. Called my friend connected to the association as the high dollar service org did not show up. Incompetent such they can't even hire a plow company. One plow and two bobcat. The foreigners running the bobcats got stuck and left with the guy in the plow. No roads in this hood got plowed. None. Walked over to his house just to see if his street was done. He had moved the snow before the sleet and was chipping the ice. Got his drive clear as mine. Walked back in 6 to 12" drifts of ice covered snow.
Before I showered I figured I would move my 18" grill back up stairs on the deck in case I wanted it tomorrow when the $%*^ing wind dies back a bit. Got downstairs and the roofing I mounted under the deck gave way to the weight of the snow/sleet that fell through the cracks. Thought to myself, I wondered what that noise was? I opened the door and looked out to see if maybe there was a racoon or something. That is an annoying fix because I have to figure how to get one of those panels from the store to here. 10 feet to the east another series of panels was so full it was about to tear up the gutter I fashioned for it all to run water into. I pulled the gutter supporting the panels with my other hand. hahaha Snows heavy. Was like Captain Kangaroo with the ping pong balls, only it was sneet shit. Got the grill and tables I perch it on when not in use up stairs anyway. Decided against putting my awning that makes it dry walking to the upstairs grills when it rains because it was windy.
Called my girl for some pity and of course she was busy working and couldn't talk, but had time to tell me she broke her shovel. Which means I need to come over and dig her out. Much of my snow is in the street at the end of the drive waiting for the plow. I'm not getting out until there is clearance for me too. My car would ride up on the ice and become a post turtle. Enlisted my neighbor to ride me and several shovels that can break ice and move various kinds of snow. Brutal shoveling. Got it done. Got a shower and lots of water. A PBnJ. Leftover ham. Wine. Took some NSAIDS. Fell asleep sitting here on the couch. Warm. Woke up fast forwarded the news to see if there was anything local I need to know. Damn if they don't know for sure it is going to be cold and can't determine how much snow we will get Saturday and Sunday. Didn't want to move but finally made some pasta for my gravy dose. Lots of glasses to wash, 2 days dishes. And I need the pot the gravy is in. Need to distribute to ball jars and wash that too....
But here I sit. Laptop in lap slowly sipping my wine so I don't have to get up to fill my glass.
I got laid off 3 yrs ago and am now deciding I should be working since I am still useful. Being forced to adult this much makes me wonder if I am up to it.

Ok... this is a doable thing. Having done some accessibility stuff, what i would try and do is make it so inst3ad of a twisting motion we use a linear motion with mechanical advantage to turn the key.

Do you have either a craft cutting mat with measured squares on them, or gift wrapping paper?

I've got cutting boards, box cutters, wire cutters, and gift wrap papper (other tools, too - not sure what all this will entail)

Maybe DM so we don't hijack the thread?

We can follow up with the actual solution once it's created.
And... THANK YOU!

What i need is a picture of the item from a vertical as possible angle from as high as possible with zoom with the item laying on a grid of known size. Ideally front and back. Hence the cutting mat amd rhe back of most gift wrap has a 1 inch grid. This lets me draw around the thing in real scale.

Then I need time to draw uo the gizmo, and then a way to either get the print to you or get you the file so you can use a more local printer.

The make and model of the car would also help if it is an OEM fob

I can't find the messages in the thread. When my Hoppin' John's I was supposed to make today while I was 'snowed in' are gone.
I will do the ones that are by Tess. I don't need them but those rivlets look very appealing to me.

I shouldn't have written that like I was complaining. I think it more lazyness not wanting to fix busted stuff I take for granted or having to do dishes when I just want to prop my head on a pillow and fall asleep with something stupid on the TV. I get that way this time of year. Monday night is for useless energy. Watching football I don't care about. Although, last night I watched a whole buncha UFC fights. I wondered where they went. Now they stream on Paramount.

to me, the show part was more the contractual snow removal failure and broken shovels resulting in the manual snow and ice removal by you.

that's one of the reasons I'm in a condo - landscaping and snow/ice removal is contracted. I'm not always physically able enough to do that home owner upkeep on my own.

unless I win a really big lottery jackpot - there's no getting away from laundry, dishes, etc.

still hope tomorrow is better

The venturi effect. Blow over the top of say... a straw, it creates suction within the straw. Sucking and blowing all at the same time. It is how some airbrushes work

Whats everyone having for dinner?

We had some leftover pizza. I made a salad to make it sound/feel healthy.

I do the same... of course my pizzas are not the same without red sauce or pepperoni
But it works for me

And why when the wind is moving annoyingly hard outside in the right direction you can see the water sloshing in your commode.
