星期二, 九月 7th, 2010With my
“Buckled Fingers”,
I know politically correct it is of course just an impairment of motor skills of hands and fingers, it is
not possible for me any more
to start a fire with a customary
lighter or matches.
A couple of years ago this was still essential for survival.
Nowadays it is fortunately not that important any more, provided that you are in possession of a functional microwave and central heating.
I had quit smoking a couple of months before the accident so that I didn’t bother specifically about making fire in the last 2,5 years.
Rather by coincidence I noticed that these
long gas lighters
can be operated without any finger function.
Now even I can light a tea candle again.

Technical Aids Tips and Tricks XV
星期二, 八月 24th, 2010If you as quadriplegic like me or for which reason ever don’t have any power in hands and fingers, such a
turning knob on the inside of a toilet door
is getting a real challenge.
Closing the locks is “going“ rather well, but then!!!
If you are not particularly interested to meet consistently your friend from the fire brigade it is beneficial to always have a
Silicon cap
with you which you usually use to open bottles (see older blogpost).
This
excellent turning knob
I have discovered on a disabled toilet in Bregenz (Austria).
Did actually somebody put good thoughts on it, or was it all about the design?!

星期二, 七月 6th, 2010The current lousy economic situation forces cities and municipalities to break new ground.
The coffers are empty.
All newly hired employees of the municipal fire brigade have to produce their
emergency vehicles
in home-work by themselves now.
The THW (German disaster relief organisation has similar problems.
Here type “Frankfurt“ with immobilizer.
The fire resistance needs still to be worked on.

“Fire department / Fire water extraction point”
Are they still using leather buckets?
