    Quick push as they come along side usually works ????????

     also found that a strong elbow good for breaking off the side mirror of a  car going opposite direction on single lane oneway road, also having half the car on the footpath... ( Soi 7 pattaya) 

     - anyhow by the time the mirror hit the ground, the driver was finally sort of reacting by jumping on his brakes to obviously intend to outwardly   react 'negatively' 

     - but I was lucky he was being herded along by the cars behind him doing the same thing - couldn't actually Stop

    A good quality surge protecting power strip and an antenna surge protector will get you started.

     

    Add to those a cheap UPS if the issues are with brown outs or brief cuts.

     

    I've even cascaed (daisychained) multiple UPS units... the original reasoning was to really enable a DVR to continue on for longer than a single UPS capacity allows 
    But since then the very annoying powerflicks (when theres a rapid succession of OnOffOnOffOn, can also play havoc with a UPS;

     so what I did to protect most of the equipment is to (at the wall outlet) incorporate an AirCon 240v Delay relay device.

    This means that no matter how short the interruptions are; the very first one triggers the Relay, and we'll have UPS only for a set duration. I first came up with idea' so we wouldn't lose another UPS; as at that time we had 4 UPS units up in the roof for powering all the house Security Shutters

  3.  I bought a 5 pack of these really comfy ASA standard valve masks early last year... so good'n'tough, I am now only onto mask #4

     

    I Napisan (the current mask at the time) every week, and good to go

      I only replace them when the elastic straps finally give out... usually from the UV from sitting on the dashboard when not needed...  

     

    Before these ones I used up my 30 cents ones; that I had prior only used when crawling about up in the ceiling where those fibreglass insulation matts fling glassfibres everywhere

    I lent a neighbour our key-start genset whilst he was waiting for PEA to hook up his construction supply. He snapped the key off in the switch ???? 

    oh! booger...     could youget inside the panel to bypass it? 

     

        - and then install a switch with a better design of key  image.jpeg.8b4dffd8a747fdd8442da162293c78b4.jpeg
