How does that old story go? If it appears to work well on 10 meters, it must work on all the bands right? As it turns out, the same indicator seems to attenuate the RX signals down on 20 meters by more than 10 dB. Removing the indicator returns signal strengths to normal. More experimentation ahead (will try a few other core materials and vary the number of loop turns feeding the LED)! #DIYFail #HamRadio #MagLoopAntenna

The previous homeowner was so proud of all the DIY marvels he performed around the house. This one -more than any other- has convinced me that it's possible for the Dunning-Kruger effect to reach weapons grade levels.

DIY Ambition or DIY Disaster? Murphy’s Law in Action - Voguegenics: Where Style, Sass, and Life Hacks Collide

Initial enthusiasm quickly dwindles as missteps and unforeseen challenges arise, including disorganized hardware, difficult sanding, and paint mishaps. Ultimately, help from a knowledgeable friend salvages the project, although it doesn't resemble the initial inspiration.

The last three times I've attempted to make yogurt have failed miserably. It just doesn't thicken. Nothing in my process has changed. I wonder if the milk pasteurization has changed recently and that's the source of the problem?

I'm on a #DIYfail roll here. :-/

Yesterday, I did my own oil change. $77.69 for 6 quarts (5+1) of the manufacturer recommended brand and an oil filter.

I checked my receipt for the last oil change I had done at the dealership: $55.58.

Hmmm. That wasn't cost effective. And didn't include the ramps and oil filter wrench I bought because adult children "borrowed" mine since the last time I used them.
