Air-Serv Vacuum

I believe this vacuum is an AirServ 24?  This was an interesting vacuum setup.

The coin box location is welded shut, and has no bars or locks (first two pictures).  The third picture is how the vacuum is bolted to the concrete slab.

These special nuts are used to fasten the stainless steel dome.  The last two pictures are the slab the vacuum was mounted on and the two holes are for dropping the assembled vacuum in place?

Honda Fit 2007 – MPG update

I got 45.6 mpg today and 502.2 miles on one tank of gas.  11 gallons of gas ($32.80) and it was under $60 unlike my other car.  That is really pretty good; twice as good as my other car (20 mpg average).  The Fit gas tank is 10.8 gallons, according to the manual, so I did pretty good not running out of gas.

Upgrade my Geovision GV800 card to 8.01?

I installed Geovision 8.01 drivers and software with the USB “SIC KEY” and its drivers.  It still did not work.  So I tried to just install 7.05 back on the computer and keep the 8.01 drivers.  It worked.  It just said “FAKE”, so I installed the 7.05 drivers again.  Maybe the 8.01 software needs a different video card?  Maybe I should read the directions.

Upgrade my Geovision GV800 card from 6.05 to 8.01 to 7.05

My DVD burner is broken so I had to use my trusty 2gb memory stick, only took about 30 minutes.  I download the Geovision Surveillance software over the internet at home and transfer it from my memory stick.  I tried to install version 8.01, which installed just fine you could not see any video feeds though.  I then tried 7.05 and it worked great.  I like the new enhancements.  I guess if I use my “Sig Key” dongle maybe I can install version 8.01?

Moleskine legendary notebook of Hemingway, Picasso, Chatwin and Eric Wilson

Well, I used to use 3 different PDAs, but never really used them that much.  Then I decided to kick it old school with a pad of paper.  I started to use cheapo notebooks that are 3 for $1.  It was amazing how much I used the notebook.  Sometimes the “Handwriting recognition” on the pad of paper can be a real problem (bad pda joke), but I had the same problem with the pda.  Then I found this blog on tools and they mentioned the Moleskine notebook.  I thought it was a total rip off at Barnes & Noble for $10.  But it really is a great notebook.  I like the band to hold it together, the book mark thing, and the file at the end of the book.  I carry the book in my back pocket all the time and it holds up very well.  If you use a notebook you should check it out.
