Radar Detector Install Part 1

Jesse — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 17:28:55 +0000

Arrived home to my new radar detector sitting on the door step. I hadn’t really planned on starting my “stealth install” project until the weekend but i couldn’t just let it sit there. So I opened her up and proceeded to identify my solder points for extending the buttons and the led display. The buttons were super easy to test and validate. My unit (Escort 8500) only has 3 buttons, so 6 wires in total. The led display will prove to be the biggest pain. I have 6 solder points i need to release =/ Not entirely sure at this point how to easily get them released. so in all i have 12 wires to run out of the unit to the remote install location. I happen to find a ton of old phone cord that has 6 wires, so it looks like i’ll be running 2 of them.

Project: All Grain

Jesse — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 01:56:01 +0000

So i decided to give all grain a try. Picked up 2 kegs from craigslist (one bud, one coors). After cutting the tops with an angle grinder with stainless steel discs i decided to see if they fit on my hurricane burner (a bit late i know). Well the bud keg fit great, but the inside diameter of the coors was 1/8″ too small and would be unstable. Lucky for me another local homebrewer was looking to go all grain as well and the coors keg fit on his burner. So i am still looking for 1 more keg before i do my 1st all grain batch.
