What made you feel good today?

[.:4:.]

I finally stopped masticating (i think thats the term meaning when cows stand around just chewing grass) and procrastinating, and straightened out the thing of the thing that locks the sliding window for the canopy of my work ute. So i dont have the convenience of pop outs on my work ute, work are cheapskates, but i have 1 that slides. I smashed that years ago but made my own out of plexiglass and tint matched it amazingly. With the metal thing on the plexi it would slide in and lock. A pain to unlock as i would have to dive in to reach the latchy thing. So id either take the metal bit off or not quite close it all the way. At some point being open just a tad as to not lock it came off and bent. Over the past 12 months ive found 5 minute here or there often enough but with the angles and channels never got it straight enough. So for the past year its been unlocked where the good stuff is. Today i had an idea. I have many bad ideas, that happens all the time, but this one was a good one. So for a 5mm channel thats bent, why not hammer through a 5mm rod starting from the unbent end to straighten the thing out. Wasnt as straight forward as i hoped but it worked. So now my tools are locked in the back of the ute. Its still an easy target for a theif, but slightly harder for an idiot to get into.
