Neighbors across the street having their roof replaced -- terrifying to see all the joists and innards exposed! Anyway, by chance I got this shadow for #FensterFreitag .
Visualize a metaphorical scene that represents development and foundation. The focus of this scene is a sturdy, ground-based ladder whose rungs progressively get brighter as they ascend, symbolizing the stages of development. The base of the ladder is firmly established on a solid bedrock, symbolizing a strong basis. The surrounding environment is tranquil and serene, enhancing the focus on the ladder as the primary object of interest.
I was surfacing around and ran into this video of a guy doing impossible gymnastics with a #ladder and it made me think of one of my favorite #opera(s)
I'll explain, but first behold the skill. He can climb up pretty high on his own. I didn't know that was possible.
Way to go! #Ladder is a #FOSS alternative to 12ft.io that can be self-hosted as a proxy that allows bypassing of your everyday #paywall ..

During Saturday's #RepairCafe my headtorch stopped working, just when I most needed it.
Today I decided to fix it.
It is an Aldi headtorch and surprisingly good, with a spot and a flood light.
Took a moment to figure out how to get in it. The two end caps are barbed and take a bit of effort to prize off. Then there are two small screws and it comes apart.
I could see the problem immediately, that red wire should be soldered to something!
Easy to solder it back onto the Bat -ve pad on the PCB. Then reassemble.
It is now back on charge ready for next time.
I also had to repair my 40 year old 3 way ladder* I left at the #CommunityWorkshop.
Someone who doesn't know how it works forced it closed against the clip that restrains the stepladder mode.
Not only is the restraint clip mangled, but the side of the ladder where it pivots is also dented and distorted.
It was quite an effort to remove and straighten the restraint bracket, hammer out as much of the destortion in the ladder stile, and refit it to get it useable again.
Also the top end of the stile has been bent, like someone levered the ladder into a space where it wouldn't fit! Going to leave that as it doesn't affect function.
Not leaving my ladder there again.
*I have two of these ladders bought by my late brother in the early 80s, and I have used and maintained them for work all that time. They are sentimental as well as useful.
