Damn, Schumacher car battery chargers are pretty amazing.

My car has had battery drain issues the past few years. I go to start it and - nothing. Complete dead, no warning signs at all. The little charger I have can't get a charge to the battery and I've replaced the battery twice during that time.

So it happened again, same result. My charger does nothing, my neighbors charger did nothing (both of them are about the size of a car battery). Still dead as can be. So I was going to have it towed for another battery replacement but I decided to see if a better charger might be more effective so I bought this on amazon:


I attached the clamps and the second I turned the charger on the car lit up like a Christmas tree. A few minutes later I started getting the clicking sound and a few minutes after that the car started right up, even after being completely dead for a few days. It's been starting up no problem since then.

I'm very impressed. Now I have to figure out how to clear all of the error codes the car is throwing lol.

Has anyone else wondered what @Kaido kitchen drawer looks like?

I'm a hoarder due to Inattentive ADHD. I solved it like this:

1. Single spreadsheet called MLOE ("Master List Of Everything"). Google Drive, searchable. 5 columns:

Quantity | Part name | Bag number | Bin number | Notes

For example:

6x | HDMI cables | Bag #4 | Bin #2 | Various length HDMI cables

2. Everything that fits goes in a 27-gallon yellow-top tote bin, unless I use it on a regular basis. Everything goes in a Ziploc bag (1, 2.5, or 5 gallon). Every bag gets labeled with painter's tape. Each label has the MLOE #, Bag #, and Bin #. I can find anything I own instantly as a result. Big stuff goes on a shelf with a painter's tape label.

3. They sell storage racks or you can buy plans on Etsy so that you can slide the bins out. I use the "reverse sorting" procedure: dump the whole bin out on a table & then put each bag back in until I find the one I want, then slide the rest of the bags back in the bin. I do a lot of hobbies with tons of parts (cooking, 3D printing, computers, home theater, etc.). This way my workspaces stay clean & usable for instant access & my inventory requires zero rummaging.

Everything I own is on that spreadsheet. I only use labels on the storage bags & bins. If I buy something new on Amazon (ex. cherry pitter), it gets an MLOE #, bag #, and bin #. I add it to the spreadsheet & then I'm done forever! That way next year I can dig it out for the summer & actually FIND IT!!

That's a library of congress #kitchenlord edition.

So if you want a spatula, you search the MLOE, find the bin, bin location, which sub-box and eventually you find the spatula?

I'm not gonna lie I kind of love this but there is not a snowballs chance in hell I would ever be able to convince my wife to even try this. Her idea of kitchen organization is shove it in any drawer that fits.
