    What are you drinking?

    Post bypass 9 hour heart surgery I did not give a flip flavored or not. They were wet and did not cause me to choke.

    Rated R label needed

    Several years ago I joined the Candle Power Forum because it was a friendly place to discuss the electric fire on a stick, was very informative, a great resource for learning and most of all a family friendly place where the vast majority of members self-policed to keep things orderly and drama...

    A photography thread

    Start with a monopod to help hold the camera more still while still being pretty mobile. Helps keep the camera shake down for clearer pictures. Plus it's good for those "holy crap it's a blue bird and I don't have time to set up a tripod or switch lenses"..... Depending on how much you want to...

    Apple .... I've had enough of their BS .

    I remember the old saying here "critique the post, not the post-er". When followed there could be vibrant discussions taking place. Trouble was it all often turned into "you're stupid" followed by "well you're more stupid" followed by "in before close". We even had one banned member sneak...

    Coast Lights...Thoughts?

    A guy handed me a Coast at work because he heard I could fix a flashlight. It was ate up with alkaline paste. It would not work after cleaning it. (I hadn't discovered the miracle of a coca cola soak yet) I wrote Coast asking them to sell me a battery carrier for it. They sent me a new light and...

    Win 11 & TPM2.0

    I'm using a 2022 Dell Precision at work on Win 11 with no issues. The company turns on all kinds of updates and upgrades like TPM2.0. My 2023 Alienware X14 came with Windows 11. It does not go on the internet but is used for photo and music storage only. No Office or anything it didn't have...

    Cast Iron Do's and Don'ts

    Good tips BF. Same applies with a new outdoor grill. My brother loaned me his old charcoal grill once. I cleaned it to look brand new. It took hours and hours. Man I was so proud at how shiney and new it looked. He was mad at me. His wife was mad at me. His kids were mad at me. His dog was mad...

    RIP Gene Hackman

    My thinking is Gene fell from a stroke or something, his wife couldn't stand life without him so she took pills, some of which the dog ate or..... Possibly: She committed suicide by pill, the dog ate some, Gene found her and was so distraught he stroked out and died trying to run outside to...
