Spanngenuity

I come from a long line of Einsteins.  Inventing, like rock hauling, is in our blood.

Dead serious.

Completely.

Don't believe me?  Let me give you an example.  I'm not sure how long ago coffee pots starting including an auto start timer option.  But I can tell you that my grandpa was WAY out ahead of this trend.  

The man worked swing shift for many, many years.  And let's be honest.  Swing shift is perpetual walking dead.  I mean, one summer in college I worked swing shift.  No joke, on my first full 24 hours off I slept 18 hours of it.  Yep.  Went to bed around 9 pm and didn't wake up until my mom came in my room when she got home from work that evening!!!  I had NO idea where I was when she woke me.  

Anywho....Well Hurshell had just about enough of the getting up, running downstairs to make coffee and then back upstairs to shower and then back downstairs to get coffee and then back upstairs to get ready.  So, Einstein 2, whom I called Poppy, put an end to it.  

That's right.  The man put a switch in his bedroom closet that was wired downstairs into the kitchen.  Before going to bed he prepped his coffeepot.  When he awoke, he reached in the closet and turned on the coffeepot.

Voila!  The autoswitch for the coffeepot was born.

And if you dare remember not having a remote control, but were lucky enough to have a TV in your bedroom?  Back then, there were only three channels so surfing wasn't really the issue.  The issue was having to get out of bed to turn the TV off after you had dozed off to Johnny Carson.

Guess who solved THAT problem?  Yep.  You got it.  Poppy.  Wrapped around their headboard was a switch that powered the TV.

I could go on and on.  Riding lawn mower safety flap lift.  Travel remote control storage in the camper. [when my sisters and cousins read this, I'm sure they'll add to the list].

Mostly, I'm proud to report the Spanngenuity lives on in the latest invention.

My cousin, Jen recently discovered her dashboard lights were no longer working.  After a bit of research, she learned this could be a costly fix.  

Enter Spanngenuity.

She has fixed the issue.  Check it out.

6.99 with TWO settings!!!!  Who knew there were other uses for head lamps?  Who?  Jen did, that's who!

Pure brilliance!

Long live Spanngenuity!!!!!!
