OBD troubles
My four-wheeled tin can doesn't have a standard OBD2 port, it features the Ford/Mazda 17 pin connector. So I got myself an adapter cable and a BT interface. Plug in everything, no BT device found. Measuring I find everything is quite different.
If pinouts on the internet can be believed (still need to find a comprehensive one for the 17 pin side), this adapter is pretty much junk. Chassis ground is connected to pin 7 (Yes, ISO K-line) instead of 4. There is no signal ground (5), but CAN High (6) is connected. Without CAN Low (14) however, so I have no idea what that is good for.
ISO Low (15 is connected), as is Battery (16), but without Ground (4) there is of course no power. Sorry, not quite right: 4 is connected, but I have no idea with what. (comprehensive 17 pin pinout still missing)
Originally I hoped I can just cut the cable in the middle and rewire, but it looks more like I need to get to the connectors themselves, since there are only six wires.
Does anyone know which connections are really necessary for a BT interface? The Chinese manufacturer apparently didn't...

This time I didn't cheat by adding yeast, instead I gave the bread a whole night to rise. It did, but not in the direction I expected.
In the morning I found a nice flat rectangular dough filling the baking pan, so now I have a nice flat rectangle bread.
No problem, there's still sufficient space for salami and mushrooms, it's not that flat. Think Ferrari.
Hmm, is it winter?
Hmm, is it winter? The wakeboard surfer who's testing the water depth is wearing a lot of protective clothing... (the one still on the water doesn't)

It's impossible not to notice, so he probably didn't care.
It's impossible not to notice, so he probably didn't care. But how could he not care that he was already tearing away the body? Not much longer and there would have been a huge hole on the right side.
Btw: Get yourself a dash cam, that's safer than holding a cell phone...

Blue rice
Blue rice,
baby's got blue rice.
Like a deep blue sea
on a blue, blue day...
No, I'm not bored, I'm curious. I wanted to know how well my food dye would work on rice. A few days back I had the green green rice of home (no photo), red and yellow are left to follow.
There is a "dish" that I would like to try some day, and for this I would need rice in several colours. I had hoped for a deeper blue, but as expected it's a rather imperfect world.
