She did it again. About ready to make a roast out of this dog.
"Ruff"ly 13 years ago or thereabouts, I bought a modded Eneloopy from a well known member here, highly respected for his modding skills. He converted it from a battery tester to a Joule Thief.
Super cute, and amazingly effective, it was the number one light that got me through two weeks of no power after Hurricane Sandy. I have a great amount of fondness and sentimental value for this light, and am very sad to no longer have it. Well, I do still have it, except now it looks like this.
As you can see, there's nothing salvageable. Went to the store for 30 minutes, and she was not left alone. I made the mistake of leaving an open box of lights on my bed, with my beloved Eneloopy easy to grab. This is not the first time she's destroyed irreplaceable lights. First time was an Icon Irix headlamp, which I made a post about sometime last year. Can't get those any more. A few weeks ago, she chewed a couple CPF labeled Safelights that were within snout's reach. Can't get those either. Fortunately, I have a couple more stashed away.
The moral of the story is to not make these mistakes again, ever. Tough to do when you're human, and your dog's mission is to destroy things.
I'll be making a WTB post for an Eneloopy. If I'm lucky enough to acquire one, that will be a start. Then I can plan modding it into another Joule Thief.
I love my dog beyond words, but sometimes wonder how she'd taste with potatoes and carrots.
