After my culinary disaster the other night, I was trying to think of recent successes. I realized that I had not posted about the 1989 Koss headphones that I had tried to repair with crazy glue.
Someone had sat on them years ago, snapping the headband. I had decided to keep them, rather than toss them, in case I could fix them at some future date. That say fr years in a kitchen cabinet, gathering dust, and I pretty much forgot about them.
I used Gorilla Glue and a clamp, and was able to fix them. They sound fine, and are almost (but not quite) as comfortable as my current $100 Sennheiser HD-280 Pros.
Have you had any "small successes" recently?

You gave me a laugh with your first line - culinary disaster. That is why I do not experiment in the kitchen, the food might be wasted.

@Alexandoy Thank you. I am trying to decide what to have for dinner. What did you have?

Glad your head phones turned out well. I just sampled one of the meat balls we're having for supper tonight and they're delicious. (They're not always.) Hope the cheese cake will be a small success, but won't know until later.

That's pretty cool! I love it when I can pull an old thing out and make it work.
Small success? One of my fifth grade students turned in a beautiful music composition he wrote using Noteflight. Learning to use the notation site was one of the options I gave them (the regular curriculum has them all playing guitars, but they don't all have guitars at home.) I was super impressed.

Are you allowed to link it in any way? What was it based on? I have Horse Jr. playing the Toccata from Bach's Toccata and Fugue in d-minor, but he's being hard-headed (approaching puberty) and won't let me teach him a more age-appropriate piece, like Minuet in G.

@TheHorse I'm not sure. I don't think I have the link but you can look on Noteflight for "A Chilly Night". Hey, when I was in sixth grade, summer, I went from taking piano and not practicing to wanting to do Bach d minor Prelude and Fugue. I went back in the fall to my piano lesson and told my teacher what I'd been practicing. She said, "Oh no, you can't play that." I said, "Please, let me play it for you" and since I had been after it for the entire summer, hours every day, I did it. She was surprised. I progressed really fast after that.

I don't know if this is considered a small success, but I was able to do some things in my bedroom yesterday that has needed to be done for a while. I haven't felt well enough in quite a while to do it. Also, I finally was able to reach my step walking goal for the first time.

Did this involve the toilet paper department at Safeway?

I stopped my clothes airer falling into two pieces every time I folded it up by using two cable ties. That stopped my frustration at least.

every day is a small success!
Do you prefer wired or wireless headsets?

Of course. I finally got the milk pie well after many failed attempts to make it
