    Photo storage / management / icloud w/ iPhone

    I have an iPhone (and an iPad) which I'm very satisfied with. I take quite a few pictures, and, since it's digital, sometimes I'll snap 5-6 pics of the same subject so I can pick and save the best one. The problem is, my pictures, ALL of them are automatically uploaded to the cloud. Even the...

    Gasoline additive for carb messed up from sitting?

    Is there such a thing as an additive that can be used in such a case? Last year I put my generator away without using the gasoline additive (Stabil) Now it runs crappy. It has always given me excellent service in the past. Can I run carb cleaner thru it? Injector cleaner? Is there something...

    Random pictures thread

    I recently went to see the site of the shipwreck Peter Iredale, ran ashore in 1906. She was a 284' sail ship from Liverpool England, headed for Portland Oregon. Before she could be towed back to sea, she tipped over a little bit, preventing the rescue. Crazy thing, this was the first time I've...

    Drone cameras, anyone have one?

    I'm seriously considering getting one, but I still have a lot of research to do. It appears that there are many different manufacturers building them, and the prices are all over the place. I ran across this site that gives reviews for three different ones...

    I don't know if it's just a local thing to my area, but have you seen how much in demand these old travel trailers are becoming? It's absolutely crazy! The money they are asking is rediculous! I used to find these things parked in people's side yard and buy them, use it for the summer, then...

    Any lawn pro's with some advice?

    I'm wanting to do some grooming on my lawn for a couple reasons. It's so rough / uneven from the years of mole hills, etc., with no real maintenance except for the usual mowing. It's pretty uneven with low spots and humps and bumps and the occasional tree roots near the surface that I have to go...

    San Jose Gear Jammers

    Wondering if anyone can tell me anything about this car. It belonged to friends of my family whom I've known for most of my life. I know very little about the car, but I do have a few photos of it. For anyone that hasn't seen one of these before, it is a car which was fabricated out of an...

    What is this grill off of?

    If it is even a grille, that is. This looks like a grill insert to me, but I have no idea what it is off of. It came in my shop when I bought my house, left behind by the previous owner. He did leave a ton of car parts behind, mostly junk. But I did get a ram air intake with dual carbs! The...

    Check this out and tell me what you think it is

    I bid and won another storage locker last month. It was a 10 x20 unit, got it for $100. The renter had been paying on this unit for at least 15 years according to the landlord. Anyway, two trips to the dump, two loads to Goodwill, and a few boxes of stuff for my wife to sell in her shop...

    I walked my daughter down the isle last weekend

    It's hard to believe that this time has come. My little girl is now married! Seems like only yesterday she was starting her first day of school. Saturday she started the first day of a new chapter in her life. Always an over-achiever, honor roll student, and somewhat of a perfectionist, I should...

    I'm gonna do some smoking

    Salmon, that is. I have fillet about 30 chinook jack salmon this year.. Most of it will get smoked, but Cori makes the best baked salmon imagineable. Most people seem to over cook it which makes it much too dry. When cooked properly, salmon is one of my favorites. My smoked salmon recipe is...
