About
I love to design and build things, small or large scale. Glad there's a place to exhibit my ideas, and to learn from others ideas! I strive to reduce MY Carbon Footprint, and making others aware of theirs. I teach my children the ways of DC power, and solar power, the benefits of rechargeable batteries, and the importance of recycling everything, paper, plastic, metals,food,etc. on a daily basis. Our total waste picked up by the trash man is one full bag of refuse once a month ($5). The rest goes to the recycling center nearby, metals exchanged for $,plastic, paper and cardboard recycled, or reused at home. Even saving and reusing metal food cans, or recycling them paysoff. I enjoy working on my cars, unless something HAS to be repaired, then its never very fun.

Interests
LEDs, Batteries, Solarpower, Saving the planet, alternative energy sources at home and on the road

Hello! Welcome to Instructables!

I am the Instructables Robot. My job is to alert you whenever someone leaves you a comment or sends you a private message. I spend most of my day sending email. I like sending email.

You probably want to upload an image to your profile. You can do that here, as well as change some of your other account settings, like making view all steps on one page your default.

After that, check out How to make a great Instructable, The Guided Tour of Instructables, and the Help Group if you have any questions.

My profile image is of an outdoor lamp I converted to use a usb cfl bulb, purchased from usbsolution.com and powered with 5volts from my computers usb bank on a long usb cord. Very bright, and efficient @5v. I had to add the striped tape to cut the glare. $TREE has usb cable assortment for $1 each!
