  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Normally I would use a quarter, but today I decided to make a new golf ball marker. For those not familiar with golf, once you are on the green you are allowed to "mark" your ball. So this is what I am using now:

Started with a standard pin:


Removed the backing


Used a small pipe wrench(couldn't find my pliers, hehe):


Removed the post and the weld holding it on:


and....


















here it is:



Now I am just going to pick up one of those cheap magnetic markers and toss this on my visor!!

Used it today! I found a $5 magnetic marker and I was going to use the magnet so I could put the marker on my visor, but the marker wouldn't take to the magnet so I may have to glue a flat washer to the back of it.
