    Lets talk “Security”………..

    Oh, I forgot, all the Foscam cameras can be setup using the PC VMS software (can not be done with the phone app) to send an email with three sequential photos when motion is detected. That is the way my first camera was setup since I had no means to record video. However, it can become a pain...

    Lets talk “Security”………..

    I am cheap, I went with Foscam. The cameras are alright, one of my cameras is at least 10 years old. The PC software takes some learning. However, if you use the PC software (VMS for Windows or Apple), you can set up the cameras and monitor them remotely with a PC without the need of a Foscam...

    Tools you want to brag about?

    Hey, it makes perfect sense in the metric world. The bigger first number goes with the bigger end! 🤣

    That reminds me of when my son was in school and he came home after a CPR class. He said that the dummies that they practiced with were disgusting. He continued by saying that they stunk and they had these "wild ass hairs". My immediate answer without thinking much about it was "You might have...

    Tools you want to brag about?

    I bought this monstrosity from the tool bargain bin in the local Tractor Supply Co. some years ago. It is great when I am taking something apart and I have no clue how tight the bolts are going to be or if I have the right 3/8 or 1/2 ratchet with me. And if it all fails, I can hammer the crap...

    When did you get your first tractor?

    When we moved to our 1 acre lot in 1988, I mowed with a self propelled mower and it was horrible. It would take all day. My next door neighbor saw me struggling one day and just to show off, he brought his garden tractor over and mowed most of my backyard in about a half hour. Shortly after...

    BX 1880 VS Gr2120

    I have the BX1880 with the 48 in mower and FEL. It felt tall and tippy initially but now I have gotten used to it and I never remove the mower for FEL work. I think the mower helps a lot for stability. Mine came with R1 tires and dented the hell out of the lawn. They were terrible for ride...

    That would be a Horrorscope! And if you are also doing an endoscopy, do it first to avoid the aftertaste of the colonoscopy. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

    The only problem is that you need a second phone to take a picture to zoom in on what you are trying to read on the first phone. :ROFLMAO:

    Additionally, if you decide to go along with something like this, make sure that the charge controller is MPPT. This type of charge controller can do several things to improve efficiency and charge the batteries even with marginal sunlight. First of all if the voltage of the solar panel exceeds...

    Smart guys, SOLAR

    I had to acquire the parts from Amazon or Ebay. The panels are probably no longer available since the company was out of business back then. But you might get lucky: Panels These do not have any connectors. The ones I bought had MC3 connectors but today MC4 is the standard...

    Smart guys, SOLAR

    On the other hand, a Solar Generator might be the ticket for you. It is portable, it can charge with AC, it can charge with the car and from solar panels. All is integrated, battery, battery charge controller and inverter. The only thing that you might want to add are solar panel extension...

    Just to give you an idea, I put this together in a hurry for my sister after hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico in 2017 so that she could run her fridge, charge phones and have a few LED lights. I did not know anything about solar power so I watched a bunch of Youtube videos and read anything...

    Need Recommendation For Air Compressor

    i bought an oil less Stealth which is very quiet but the pressure regulator failed with very little use. It was replaced under warranty with no issue but the new one is already misbehaving.
