Tools #

Some tools

  • VIVOSUN 480GPH Submersible Pump (use to transfer clean water from 5 gal bucket to tank.)
  • USB powered mini Pump (for small tank filling)
  • Pex pipe + vinyl tubing for cleaning detritus
  • Fluval AquaVAC+. It doubles as a portable water pump.
    I use it to gently water plants from 5 gal bucket with the aquarium waste water.

Car Stuff #

Make/Model Experience
1987 Acura Integra My first. A fun little car with the manual transmission. Very reliable.
2012 Toyota PriusV

The larger prius bought at 100K. It had a bad brake booster which cost $3K to replace @120K. Luckily covered by warranty from dealer at time of purchase.

Reliable otherwise. Consistent 45mpg.

202x Ford Mustang Ecoboost

This was a rental. It feels heavy driving and unfortunately an automatic.

The interior quality is very nice. Best feature is the peltier cooled seats for the muggy Orlando summer.
