billroperNuts! Wire nuts to be specific.
The guys who did the wiring on our home occasionally did some very interesting things, as I discovered when I tried to wire in the new doorbell transformer. In this case, four very large wires were crammed into one wire nut with the tiny wire from the transformer. It turns out that wiring this back together with the wire nut they used is very, very difficult. And I failed.
I have some other larger wire nuts. Somewhere. A search has thus far yielded zip.
I went to check the Home Depot website and discovered that it said that the Randhurst store was closing at 10 PM. It lied, as I found out after driving 15 minutes to get there. The store closes at 8 PM on Sunday. Thanks loads.
So tomorrow, I will go and get some larger wire nuts, put things back together, and see if the new transformer is working. Eventually, because I *do* have to work at my day job.
But progress was made on some things today. The library was finally mostly put back together after the visit two weeks ago and the sheets have made their way to the dryer.
And I managed to do some more of the finicky editing work on the cover for "Crosstime Bus" since I didn't have anything that urgently needed to be touched in the studio today. And you can see that cover below:

So maybe you should replace the "London Transport" logo on the front with something more SF related.

Date: 2025-07-28 02:14 pm (UTC)I did notice two other very minor errors.
First, the right hand front wheel appears to have it's axle missing - probably just a little too much photo shopping of the outline.
Second, there is another route number display (42) just to the left of the LT logo. It appears to be blank. It's there so that people waiting at the bus stop can check which bus number it is as the bus pulls to a stop.
