The pro photographer on the last cruise I went on gave a talk and I attended. Couple things he said have been repeated here. >>Optical zoom and the more of it the better. Dig zoom is just cropping. >>ALWAYS shoot on the highest resolution. I mean why spend the money on a 5 meg camera and only...

I think this sums it up pretty much. Cutting games from the season would make for a very short season. Ive had a grand total of 5 homes games to go to this year. We were expected to buy tickets, in addition to our season tickets, for the Navy game so I dont consider that a home game. Im looking...

Are you guys snipping off the wire for the outdoor sensor or coiling it up some how? Pretty sweet little deal for $10. Not as nice as those small $10 ones that Radio Shack was selling a year or so ago but still good. Russell

1 pm clashes with my football activities in Terpville. I'll have to take a rain check unless you guys will be there at Shellys until late. Russell

I dont see it as meddling at all. The US has plans to deal with all kinds of stuff that no one ever hears about. Thats where a lot of our money goes to now, think tanks. Lets face it Cuba has been a slow motion train wreck ever since the Soviot Bloc cut off the money. The clock has been ticking...

Damn it I never set my TiVo to record long enough during these epic games. It cut short the clinching game against the Braves and missed the good stuff after the 10th. :rolleyes: Not looking too good right now. Oswalt just couldnt locate last night. :angry2: R

Yeah whatever I could say with a straight face those same attributes about the 'stros. :D Lets see. MLB has never cared about the roof being closed or not at any basenball game to my knowldge over the history or retractable roofs. They never cared about it being open or closed during any...

Of course they do. The Red Sox's were a giant boom in the old wallet for MLB last year and this years its being hyped the same. Jesus they made a freakin movie about it! Old team hasnt won one in X years....pan to interview with old geezer sitting in bar who remembers going to the last world...

I have the Xikar multi tool. The jury is still out for me. It really nice that it fits in you pocket well and has a small awl to deal with plugged gars. Im just not jumping for joy on its cut. Maybe Im just too much of a newb. Oh well. It aint junk and it fits in my pocket which is good enough...

One of those small spray bottles they sell in the travel toiletries section of Target/Wally world, filled with distilled water, is great for "recharging" beads. Just a couple spritz's and your back in business. I think the beads, FOG's correct me if Im wrong, should be kept around 50/50...

Definitely go with the beads. Completely idiot proof. Target has hygrometers in the section with the space heaters for $10 if you want to pitch the analog.

Try getting one of those small spray bottles that they sell in Wallymart or Target for sprusing up the beads. They sell them in the travel toiletries section. I eyeball mine along with checking the hygrometer. I like to keep mine half milky and half clear(w/water). Russell

For guys on a beer budget Seagrams makes a lime twist gin. Pretty damn tastey in a gin and tonic. Used to go through this stuff by the half gallon. Adding a shot of lime to a mixed drink was an old trick to mask the alcohol in an extra strong drink. :D My neighbor is a Bombay fan and I...

What everyone else has said. You'll find that some places you buy from might not have ideal humidity control etc and what you pick up will need to hang out in your humi to get where it ought to be. Also you'll be out in a new place and find stuff you cant find locally/normally and will want to...

Yeah get some beads. They're idiot proof. Steal a pair of nylons (new preferably) from the wife and twist up a sack of them (a little bigger then a golf ball) for the humi. Im partial to black because its easier to see the beads. Go to Target and go to the section where they sell travel...

Im pretty damn fond of the LGC SR's myself. Done the No5 and the No6. I dont think I have an afternoon to set aside for a No 7 though LOL. For a good everyday smoke try the LGC Wavell maduro. I always seem to grab them out of the humi when I cant decide on anything. Russell

Im lucky to have two places basically across the street. One is a humungo wine and liquor store with a cabinet and a nice selection and damn good prices. The only draw back is that dumb ass' sometimes leave the sliding glass doors open and sometimes the sticks are a little on the dry side. I...

Careful what you wish for Rob [:Caution potentially not work freindly:] :D Russell

"Smoking the last inch" Wasnt Ron Jeremy in that one? :D Russell

Kind of annoying how last nights was basically a repeat of the season opener only from a different perspective. Next week looks to be good from the preview. Russell
