BUSY BARREL!

I took these pcitures a few years ago, when I still had my dog.
He's alive & well,..just not hanging out with me any longer, . .
Anyways,I'm getting off topic and startin' to ramble

Anybody who's had a Border Collie knows that they are really intelligent.
An intelligent dog tends to get bored, . .
A bored, intelligent dog, if not properly stimulated will wreck your house. Which may hurt your dog in the process. So I made my dog Wilson-(pictured below)this Activi-Toy (a trademarked name) the Busy Barrel -(also trademarked)

Tactical Flask

I repurposed some lengths of ballistic nylon straps & plastic buckles from a broken child's racecar themed shopping cart from my local grocery store, to make a tactical rig with belt loop for my flask.

Now I can get boozed up anywhere all Batman style.

(More) Thinking outside the box

A section of mailing tube, some scrap canvas and some A.T.G-( pressure sensitive glue) and you get cup holders for an Ikea Futton, . . the canvas worked out well, because it had a very similar look to the cushions and was a sturdy material!

Thinking outside the box . . . .

I've been told that I "MacGyver" things very well. Also known as "jack-assing" things together. This skill set is mostly born out of necessity, . .
Usually in response to having fix other peoples screw ups, and being surrounded by lazy people. I work in retail, . . So I've been in plenty situations where I had to make things work with out the proper tools and or materials.
It just recently occured to me take pictures of these instances



A few spoons repurposed for key hooks!







No mixer? No problem
(Dewalt beats Cuisinart any day)





A few hair ties, . . . and viola! An adjustable G.P.S mount for the car!
