My project for the last few days is assembling a repair toolkit for my wheelchair. I’ve had this idea since my chair broke a few weeks ago. So here’s the description of the toolkit:
* hex wrench specific to the part that previously broke
* Kobalt brand multi Torx wrench
* 10 mm crescent wrench
* zip ties
* small ratchet wrench
* bit sleeve with specific assortment of hex, Phillips, and Torx bits for the ratchet wrench
* 3 AAA batteries for the bike light
My #cat Kaze was hanging out with me today in my office.

I bought a barely used bike headlight at a yard sale recently and finally attached it to my #wheelchair. About a month ago I was caught in the dark wishing I had some kind of light. I haven’t tested this out yet, but I’m hoping this will solve the problem.

I got some muscle to help and we got the crutches assembled. We had to take off the plastic end caps from the nesting tubes because there’s no way they would have fit. I also got to use the parcel hook tool for the first time, from my Victorinox that I bought in 1990 😂

Dang, this power bank from Skull Candy is only about 3 years old. Now it’s hazardous waste.

Please don’t block the sidewalk. I could barely get my #wheelchair through this small gap. It’s hard to tell at this angle but the red stripe is a curb. #disability #accessibility
I'm doing an export to PDF of my #Jupyter #Python notebook. I had a small struggle with installing xetex, and then once it was set up, the fonts and layout look so much different than my previous experience with this.
