I super-glued a short length of plastic tubing to the toggle switch on the
shop vac.
Now, I can hit it on and off with the shopvac nozzle or anything else in
my hands.

The little red toggle switch was tucked down into a molded recess...
surely meant to protect it from stuff. *Well, I'd rather be able to get
to it easily. *Now I can. *The tubing it strong enough to turn it on and
off, but weak enough to bend and not break the switch if it gets hit too
hard.

Stuff like this is such a "duh!" moment.
Anyone have any duh moments to share.

Wait till you discover remote control. *;~)

And they work the TV too, never have to get up from the couch again.

The system will be down for 10 days for preventive maintenance.

In fact, I bought a HarmonyOne combined remote. What a sweet piece
that is.
You connect via USB to your puter, go to their website and plug in the
model numbers of your DVDBR, AVReceiver, Screen, VCR, Cable/Sat box
and it sets the whole mess up for you...look ma, no hands.
Now, I get to hold just one remote and am no longer burdened by the
searching and carrying of multiple remotes.... a remote for remotes,
so to speak.
Works like a charm. (Backlit keys too)
