SSH Raspberry Pi Connection Refused

A change has been made to how SSH works with Raspian Pixel. If you are running a headless Pi you will need to mount the SD card and put a file called "ssh" in /boot. Once this is done put SD card into your Pi and plug in the power. You should now be able to SSH into your Pi

Individual wire strands were taken from a strip of electrical wire. Very sturdy copper that is plastic coated and malleable. 

I was receiving the below message while trying to upload new code to the Arduino Micro.

avrdude: butterfly_recv(): programmer is not responding

After a lot of research I found that you have to hold down the button on the Ardunio Micro while uploading the code from Arduino IDE. Once IDE reports it is uploading code the button can be released.

I found the info for the Micro at http://arduino.cc/en/Guide/ArduinoLeonardoMicro?from=Guide.ArduinoLeonardo#toc11

Mother's Mag & Aluminum Review

A picture says a thousand words. I have not used another product to clean aluminum but on first try this turned out well. Easy on easy off. No need to press hard just rub til you arm falls off.

Very Dirty Car Cleaning

I wanted to encourage my Dad to drive his old car again. I decided I could detail his car like mine. Didn't realize the job I signed up for. I've worked on the interior and exterior. The exterior has oxidization and will be dealing with that soon. Dad hasn't cared for his car very well in the last couple of years. Pictures say a thousand words.......Before and after pictures of initial cleaning. I'm glad I can help him out. I've learned a lot about detailing the last 3 years and still much to learn.
