    I think I remember seeing it in Wal-Mart the other day. Not a recommendation; just an observation.

    Anyone shoot Sony dSLR?

    Sony also has a different hotshoe mount; at least they did when I bought my Sony(s). Stabilization in the body was big for me. Does the a77 have a faster burst mode than the a65?

    Threads that Grind My Gears

    Learned it from my father. He also told me not to get into arguments with nit-wits or dim-wits (if you'll excuse the expressions he used in the old days). He said, if you do, you can sometimes end up looking smarter than you actually are. He also said you have to learn how to appreciate...

    Threads that Grind My Gears

    I learned at an early age, if you could learn to double-clutch properly, most of the gear grinding went away. :wow:

    What happened to BobbyG?

    I'm wondering if Mike or Autogeek could possibly make a descrete inquiry based on something they can access through the forum or a past order or something. Don't want to invade someone's privacy, though. Just wondering out loud............

    OMG Eating Shoe Laces ???

    H-m-m-m. Pica. Some people eat shoelaces, some eat dirt, some eat glass, some eat.....; no telling what a person with Pica will eat. You have to watch them every second; literally. I know of a person with Lesh-Nigh (sp) Syndrome. They had to pull his teeth because he chewed off parts of his...

    Cologne talk? What's your favorite/least favorite?

    My wife's favorite is Eau Sauvage by Christian Dior; thus it is my favorite. I have to admit, it smells pretty good; real citrus-ie. Back in the old days when I was a kid, my favorite was Hi Karate. I'm not sure of the spelling, but it smelled pretty good, too. Haven't seen it for years.

    any dash cam recommendations?

    After some research, I've decided to go with GoPro 3 Silver. Big "C" has a bundle for $229 with lots of brackets (sometimes value added with Big "C"). Good luck.

    Soda exploded!!!! Need advice on how to clean!

    A Real Old School Solution for Sticky Buttons: A long time ago, in a time far, far away, "they" made something called tuner cleaner. It came in a spray can like canned air. It was used to clean all kinds of electronic parts and the insides of radios, TVs, radar equipment; the list was endless...

    to go to automotive school or not

    Lots of good info from experienced people here. Sounds like no one was permanently disfigured during your brief stay at Goodyear. Better to give it a try and find out you are not suited/or dislike it than to lay on your deathbed one day and say, "I wish I woulda'/coulda'/shoulda'. Good luck...

    How do you remove little yellow bird droppings while washing your vehicle?

    I've heard a number of times in the past that this particular type of dropping is bee poo. I park outside, no trees where I park at home, and I notice 10-15 of these each time I wash my vehicle (full-size black PU).:autowash: It makes sense to me. Is there agreement among the experts on this...

    My Life Flashed In Front Of Me

    Glad you're Okay Glad you're Okay. As I've gotten older, when times like these happen, as my life passes before my eyes, I try to take the opportunity to see the things I've done; the things I might have done; and decide if there are any things I should do before the"Big One" hits me...

    Importance of picture quality

    Lots of great info here. Can't add much, except what I have heard some "pro" photographers say. Like: Back in the old days when digital photography was first getting started, the photos on the covers of magazines and in National Geographic were being shot with 4 and 6 megapixel cameras...

    SHOCKED AND HORRIFIED!...."How its made" TV show!

    IMO, the only "car" to ever win Indy, but didn't cross the finish line. Also had a unique sound. A high-pitched whine later banned by the piston boys. The "Whoosh Mobile". Oh, well. :) Indy 500 Turbine Car - YouTube I later wished for something similar for the street as a solution to the...
