    Looking for ideas and input

    Unrelated to satellite reception... but based on the concept of a dish. Watch this video and then I have some questions regarding my project: What I am doing: I am constructing a large "pond" or water tank for my cabin on the river to maintain live baitfish for fishing. Bluegills and...

    Solar outage and sun alignment on-line calculators

    My favorite on-line calculator for the solar alignment has been altered and now I am frankly very disappointed in how it functions. This was the one that I used to use: www.satellite-calculations.com/SUNcalc/SUNcalc.htm Does anyone have links to others that work well and are versatile...

    OFF-THE-GRID

    I am just curious, folks. We dabble into a bit of everything technical and I know that there are a few members here who ARE already into living off-the-grid to at least some measure. Would anyone be interested in or support a full time forum for such discussions? Solar, wind, water etc...

    Please be CAREFUL when driving! It only takes 5 seconds to slip.

    I hope that it is acceptable that this is not a YouTube segment. It is quite intense and should be viewed by all drivers. It is quite dramatic, but don't worry it is not grotesque (you cannot see any of the gruesome parts of it). Vidvir - Car accident [NSFL] RADAR

    Verizon MiFi 4510L + AZBox Premium Plus WiFi {DISCUSSION}

    Since I am moving, I have to shut down my Wild Blue satellite internet. I had all my PCs and my AZBoxes connected through a Linksys wireless router, so I had the WiFi working for all AZBoxes previously. However, I didn't want to reset my Wild Blue again and I can't just transfer it to my...

    Getting Married (?)

    Let's have a little fun here. MrFTAMan is getting married, so that got me thinking of some way to harass him just a bit. That's typical of what guys do just to rub the other fella's nose in it. But, we don't really mean anything negative and we know it. It's just a bit of a hazing for...

    Hybridized Jon Boat / Waverunner Motor

    I intend to build my own soon. I have the waverunner and the jon boat, just gotta get 'em mated together. The river here is too shallow and has too many submerged logs to utilize an outboard prop motor, but a waverunner or jet ski manages it excellently! But you cannot haul any gear on a...

    Laurel and Hardy

    I haven't watched Laurel and Hardy for years. Now that MeTV came to Omaha (OTA), I can experience them again. It is great! Between RTV, MeTv, PBJE, ThisTV, PBS and CubaVision I have everything I need. This is excellent. All good TV programming like it should be. RADAR
