Sea-Doo oil change in 10 steps

 Steps:

  1. Check the current oil level
  2. Warm up the engine:3–minutes in the water.  (for the 2008 rev the engine to 4000 RPM before killing it.)
  3. Prepare for extraction: remove seat, deck, Dipstick & loosen filler cap.
  4. Extract the old oil: Extractor pump (negative terminal first)
  5. Perform a brief 'flooded start' :Crucial step - remove the extraction hose before starting. For not more than 5 seconds hold the throttle at full and start button to turn over. 
  6. Extract again : re-insert extraction tube and pump again (if you have less than 2.25 quarts and the level measured in step 1 was within normal range, then repeat steps 5 & 6 again
  7. Replace the oil filter and O-rings: New filter & seals. 
  8. Refill with fresh oil: Match extracted amount or check specs.  (typically ~3.0–3.5 quarts out of the total 4.8 qt system capacity)  Check with dipstick for level.
  9. Test and inspect: Leak check. (run on the water, then wait >30 seconds after shutoff for the oil to settle, then pull and check the dipstick. The level should sit midway in the crosshatched section (not above the MAX line))
  10. Button up: Final re-assembly.

Dan's espresso martini recipe

This is my espresso martini recipe. 1 oz cold espresso 1 1/2 oz vodka 1 1/2 oz Kahlua 1 oz creme de cacao I make the espresso fresh and let it cool for about 15 minutes.   After mixing, I pour it into a martini glass with crushed ice.   For ease, sometimes, I do one part of each ingredient and that works well too.

Converting mp4 to webm using ffmpeg for HTML5

I had to take a promotional video for work and make it available for a targeted marketing campaign.  The requirement was pretty simple, make it available to any HTML browser.  The challenge was the the original file was only made available as an MP4.  And we have no tools/budget to convert this to the other video formats HTML5 browsers may expect. What is the right way to convert video to encoding that works well in all HTML5 formats?  That depends, but I'll show you one way that worked for me in this case. After a little digging, seems it is really easy to get HTML5 video converted from an MP4 source video using FFMpeg from a command prompt in Windows.  I was successful using the examples below on Windows 8.1 For Webm I use the following. ffmpeg -i SourceVideo.mp4 -c:v libvpx -crf 10 -b:v 1M -c:a libvorbis output.webm for ogv I use this. ffmpeg -i SourceVideo.mp4 -codec:v libtheora -qscale:v 7 -codec:a libvorbis -qscale:a 5 output.ogv In this examp...

How to install smart switches

I replaced some old dumb light switches with new smart light switches.  Note 1 :Before I go through the steps, here is a little bit of important information to know.  There may be several wires required to make the new switch connect - here is the definition of what you should see available in the housing for the switch. Smart light Switch = In my case, this is a wall light switch that has a radio that can be connected ted to a Hub for remote control or for programming on/off/dimmer based upon triggers. The protocol of the radio is z-wave in my case. Line = always hot wire - this is the source of current to the switch. Load =wire that goes to light out the other side of the switch and is only hot when the switch is turned on. Neutral =  White wire (in my house) that carries a current back to the source for the unbalanced portion of the load Ground wire = the wire that grounds the circuit. Note 2: I've only installed z-wave switches with a neutral ...
