Smart Halloween Lighting
These Smart RGB Lights allow me to choose from 16 million colors, all of which can be controlled via a smartphone app or remote control. This means I can easily customize the lighting to suit any Halloween décor and create the desired ambiance in my home or yard. Plus, with the option to set timers and schedules.
The Bluetooth version works great locally with Smart Life. To get them to work remotely or on Home Assistant you will need a Tuya Bluetooth Hub (https://amzn.to/3SOehya). This will also allow them to work with Home Assistant. The Wi-Fi option maybe better; because you wouldn't need a hub to have remote control.

Upgrading Solar e Bike Trailer Lights
Got my solar trailer side lights working. Took me hours to do it.
These lights can do any color, or many colors at once on one strip. Just about any 10mm waterproof led strip can do this. Helps if its 12v as more parts are available then 24v.
The reason it took hours to do it is soldering to LED strips is very hard. It took me a few try's to get it right.

Electric Bike Adventure, Twin Arrow, Two Guns, Apache Death Cave
Electric bike tour around Arizona ruins along old route 66 in Arizona. I visit old Twin Arrows, Apache death cave, 2 ruin zoos, Two Guns historical route 66 bridge, and many other ruin with history unknown to me.
The visit to Twin Arrows Arizona was a great explore around the old route 66 ruin. The roofs is starting to come down so I don't think this place is going to be standing much longer.
The Apache death cave was the first time I have ever done any caving. Was nice in cool down in the cave and was nice to get out of the heat. I tell a bit of the story of the death caves while I was there.

DIY Water Resistant Solar Generator - Upgrade 1.3 | More Solar input
I upgraded my DIY solar generator by adding a 2nd MPPT solar charge controller. I had to do this because I wanted to add more solar panels to it. Now my ebike battery box can charge even faster in the sun.
If you are looking to build this generator It's best to start with the original DIY video. You can find the original how to DIY video here (1.0): https://youtu.be/NFesVlDwYX8
To buy one anywhere near this solar generator you would have to spend near $2000. See prebuilt solar generators bellow. Plus if you are e-biker the price for the Solar generator box isn't bad because you already own the batteries. If the price is too high replace some parts and the cost drops big time. Like the solar charge controller, Inverter, or the screen.

DIY Solar Generator Water Resistant Test
I put my DIY solar generator to a other water resistant test. This time it really needed it after a week long camping trip.
Yep I turn the hose on my creation to get it clean again.
The USB power switch is not 100% water tight and did light up in the off position when wet. It did return to normal with no faults after drying off.
Full how to make this generator video: https://youtu.be/NFesVlDwYX8
I love this generator because it runs on my electric bike batteries; however it can be made to run off of any battery.

E-Bikepacking Arizona Day 4 (Uncensored)
I pack up my gear and head out into the back country of Arizona. This tour I used my Trek Marlin 7 with a Bafang BBSHD on it. This was an epic five day electric bike adventure.
Adding the Bafang to the Trek was easy. Bafang stops 95% of all cases of hike a bike. Use as needed 0 - 1400 watts.
Day four starts ten miles out of Prescott, Arizona. I head into town to find bike parts, and to get a bed and shower.

2007 Ford Mustang Alternator and Belt Replacement
I show how to replace a alternator and belt on a 2007 Ford Mustang. The way you know the alternator is bad is when the car dies when running along with headlights and anything else that uses power. To test it remove the negative battery cable. If the car dies the alternator is bad.

Adding the Bafang to the Trek was easy. Bafang stops 95% of all cases of hike a bike. Use as needed 0 - 1400 watts.
Day One was all up mountains. About 7200-7500 feet of climbing depending on what application or device you use. On a normal bike it took me 2 days to complete this trip. You will have to watch to see how long it took with the Bafang motor on the same bike. (Map https://www.strava.com/activities/8869115905 )

Prescott Days Inn - We Don't Want Your Kind Here #DaysInn #firstamendmentaudit #InnReview #Kickedout
I was refused service for no reason by this days inn desk clerk after riding my e-mountain bike for 4 days in the mountains of Arizona. I smelled and needed a shower bad, and this little s bag rejected/cancel my reservation.
Now my mission is to get him fired from the Days Inn in Prescott Arizona. He has been reported to the BBB, Days Inn Corp, Fox News, and this is just the tip of the iceberg for him.
I hide his face and changed his voice because he complain to YouTube. Even though working at a business where you can walk in off the streets you have no reasonable expectations of privacy by law. I am also showing a crime Days Inn Prescott deeply doesn't want on YouTube.
Owner say I was kicked out for a review. So my kind is a hotel reviewer.
The Days Inn Logo mod is protected under comedy parity laws, and it funny. I have dark humor.
All of this is protected under Arizona Anti-SLAPP laws as also a review of this place.
