    i find this rather hypocritical...

    Diane Feinstein: I know the sense of helplessness that people feel, I know the urge to arm yourself, because that's what I did. I was trained in firearms. I walked to the hospital when my husband was sick, I carried a concealed weapon. I made the determination that if someone was going to try to take me out, I was going to take them with me.

    I wouldnt have posted it if I didnt think it was a good deal ;)

    edit: folks have been selling the printer for about $100 on ebay as well to recoup some of that cost...getting you in your budget in the long run. let me know if you're looking to do the same.

    Yes sir you did, thank you! And yes, Im about 90% sure that printer is history. If I decide to sell it, I take it you're interested?

    thanks for the suggestions guys! i guess based on your opinions, what im going to do is save up a bit more for the t3i. from what im hearing, around this time of year, sellers drop their prices on the body+lenses bundles, so hopefully i can grab a kit for a good price.

  11. battery leak? ...and good battery recommendations

    in Tech and Tips

    Posted

    so yesterday my buddy and i were out riding the backwoods when my bike started acting funny. literally, it would turn itself off and on again at will. long story short, i check my battery as i assume there is a bad connection.

    i have a power commander connected to the negative terminal, there is a bit of corrosion and the bolt was a bit loose and is scalding hot to the touch. so, i cleaned it off, tightened it down and off i went. no issues from that time until the time i got home. check the negative terminal again when i got home and its cool to the touch. my multimeter says the battery is 12v normal and 14 under load so i know the battery/stator is good. the positive terminal has no corrosion, the negative has corrosion along with what looks like some battery acid that has leaked out...

    so, heres where the questions start :D

    since my power commander was connected to the negative terminal, is there a chance that repeated shorts could have damaged my pc3 or somehow corrupted the map?

    is there a possibility that corrosion on the negative terminal and none on the positive is a sign of something else being wrong?

    at this point, i think the battery is the culprit so im going to replace it. im more or less concerned about other possible damage the repeated shorts might have caused. is there anything else i should check or look for? any recommendations on a good battery brand? thanks :cheers:
