REVIEW: Sunbeam Heating Pad – 9 Years Later…

We had our Sunbeam Heating pad ( https://amzn.to/3EJkEvH ) for over 9 years and its still going strong. We use it for muscle aches and to keep our legs warm when watching TV in the colder seasons. We typically put a put in on top of us with a pillow to weight it down to keep our legs warm.

After 9 years, Sunbeam Heating pad ( https://amzn.to/3EJkEvH ) still heats very quickly and we now use it for the pet bed. We place it in the bet bed and overlay it with a fleece blanket. Its set it on LOW and automatically turns off after 3 hours. The cats and small dogs love this.

About a week ago, my Uniden Radar detector ( https://amzn.to/3HrCaGK ) power cord which uses a RJ11 connector broke off. I used Loctite FUN-TAK Mounting Putty ( https://amzn.to/3qnzy5N ) for temporary fixes for my plastic parts such as to hold connectors together, such as for my RJ11 connector with a missing tab. It held the connector in place for about 3 days without issue and was easy to remove.

Its time to remove the temporary fix and replace the broken RJ11 telephone connector ( https://amzn.to/3zaQmAK ) for my radar detector.
My trusty crimp tool ( https://amzn.to/3Huow5H ) does both RJ45 / RJ11 connectors and i have been using it to fix network plugs as well.

For RJ11 jacks have 4 pin connectors and is pretty simple to figure out.
Just write down the order of the color cable or take a photo for reference.
I use the crimper tools sharp cutters to score the housing and cut the ends off for a straight even cut of the wires. It comes out aligned and ready. Just pull off the scored cable housing and sort the colored wires.

Slide the wires into the new connector plug and crimp using the crimping tool to seat all the wires. Overall it only takes about 20-30 seconds. The most important part is checking the wire color order. Lastly check the cable to make sure it works .Now my Uniden Radar detector ( https://amzn.to/3HrCaGK ) and it powers up!

Overall its good to know how to fix and replace broken RJ11 and RJ45 connectors for many applications for the home or car repair as many cables now use for data and power connections.

REVIEW: Costco Sencha Naturals EVERYDAY MATCHA – Japanese Green Tea Powder $19

I like drinking and eating Matcha lattes and Matcha snacks, so I bought a bag of Sencha Naturals organic Matcha powder ( https://amzn.to/3enJQgo ) to expermiment and make my own morning Matcha Latte with my Milk Frother ( https://amzn.to/3Fsab9c ) , electric kettle ( https://amzn.to/32zIFru) , and my Thermos Insulated 10 oz food jar ( https://amzn.to/3qpILdx ) .

Sencha Naturals organic Matcha powder ( https://amzn.to/3enJQgo ) was a great value when I bought it at my Costco for $19 for 12 oz. The texture taste is very clean and the color of the matcha stays consistent when mixed and brewed. I use matcha powder on cold and hot drinks. My mornings start with either milk tea or matcha green milk tea.

I plan to also bake and make desserts with this Sencha Naturals organic Matcha powder ( https://amzn.to/3enJQgo ) so i can experiment and have fun. I will make vlogs of my Matcha culinary experiments and journey!

I use one teaspoon of organic Matcha powder ( https://amzn.to/3enJQgo ) with 1-2 oz of hot water from electric kettle ( https://amzn.to/32zIFru). I mix my Matcha powder with my Milk Frother ( https://amzn.to/3Fsab9c ) in my Thermos Insulated 10 oz food jar ( https://amzn.to/3qpILdx ) that I drink from.

It usually mixes the matcha in about 15 seconds and then add organic vanilla soy ( https://amzn.to/3pqQ5GS ) as it already has sugar. You can also add honey or other sweeteners to your preference. You can also use hot or cold milk or soy milk. I like using cold soy to cool the drink to a drinkable temperature.
The Thermos Insulated 10 oz food jar ( https://amzn.to/3qpILdx ) is the perfect size for a single coffee drink .

Overall, Sencha Naturals organic Matcha powder ( https://amzn.to/3enJQgo ) is a very good value and great tasting.
