A grip also allows use of AA's and weight helps balance large lenses.

I use ZEIKOS grips for my Canons and they've been awesome at a fraction of the price of canon grips. Actually they have better rubber for the grip than the canon models. I load two canon batteries into the grip and the camera's stay on for +12 hr weddings shooting into the thousands of photos without draining.

What a mess.

I fixed commercials by switching to WOSU radio.

My fireplace doesn't have a fan and will cook you out of our family room once you get a big bed of glowing debris in the bottom. When its all flame there isn't much heat coming into the room.

Can you tell what's blown on your board? I got a lot of components.

Just a thought, alum creek heating up my way.

If you Don't feel comfortable doing it i understand but if it was my problem I'd be hot wiring the fan motor and jumping any solenoid valve in my way and lighting that sucker with a match. Not responsible for blown up houses, I'm a pro at rigging electronics.

Might try the local sears parts center or a lennox dealer

My 3 year old says she wants to drive that. LOL cute

Used to drive a caravan back in the `90's for work down the west virginina hills so I know they can impress in snow. I go to Mohican area a lot and have canoed at loudonville several times. You talking about camping this weekend brings back memories of boy scouts for me. My scout master pretty much only took us out in the winter months except for summer camp. His reasoning was that in Ohio winter was going to be our biggest threat to survival and we had a serious time learning to make a fire and cook in winter. Staying dry was another fun lesson, we had a boy break through ice once (went up to his chest) while we were all horsing around a creek. We fixed him up in the field and he finished the weekend. Ok, old man's done now. hehe

Wife wasn't home so no video, but basically tacoma pulled out corolla no problem. Used tacoma to smash down all the snow and make a nice 1800ft long ice road. Backed into my ditch with tacoma which by the way had tires at half pressure and a rear locker. Tacoma stuck good. 6x6's block heater had already been plugged in days ago so it fired right up and made quick work of removing tacoma from ditch + 3ft snow drift. Finished packing driveway with the big truck so now corolla can get in/out very easily. A very good day, I'd been wanting to take the deuce for a spin so took it out to the exit ramps and back to warm up the engine real good.
-
Hehe, corolla is stuck in the 2ft drift in my driveway, oops. Warming up while I decide which truck to remove it with. I don't really like starting the 6x6 in freezing temps so probably use the tacoma until its good and stuck then pull them both at the same time with the one I should have used to start with;-)
-
Gonna be awesome getting my corolla out of my driveway in the morning. Probably have to smash the snow down with my 6x6 before heading out.

Thats actually a good point. Down where I was from many people didn't have 4x4's at the time. Just throw chains on the above mentioned monte carlo and give it hell. YEEHA

It was a different time, I was born that year so I don't remember it, but growing up in a small "never changing" region of Ohio I know how the people probably helped out and had the ability to do so. These days and especially in the our cities people simply don't have the skills or equipment to help even if they want to. There is the fear of being sued, but I think that is a small fear to most good people. I'm still one of the good ole boys that will help at the drop of a hat and there are lots around. Especially in the 4x4, military vehicle, and ham radio groups.

Actually any database format will work including access. Its sort of a chicken/egg problem. The wizard won't work unless you already have a database file and I won't have a database file until I finish the program and start inputing data. I was thinking I could get access and make the database file then my problems should be solved, but thats sort of annoying. I would like to use the wizard, by default it will make just about 90% of the program for me and I'd just need to customize it and add in some calculations.

While we're on the topic, anyone want to point me in a direction? I'm the ultimate "has been" I has been a guru back in early VBDOS, and the first couple windows versions of VB back in the mid `90's. I downloaded VB Studio and managed to make a simple profit calculator pretty quickly. I'm wanting to expand into creating a type of accounting software that will store my data in a database as part of my ongoing learning and hopefully in a few years expand into automated trading and accounting with it. I was happy to see VB has a wizard that would make the job very easy, but it seems I must have an ACCESS database file or similar already created in order to use the wizard. I can't find a way around this. Any ideas? I know I should probably start by learning to write/read data from a file and will probably end up starting there and working through everything anyway.

It's been many years and I'm just getting back into it for some personal stuff.

Gotta zoom to the last 2 or 3 levels, sorry.

I was looking for commercial properties in Myrtle Beach, SC and stumbled on a good sized car show on the aerial view. Just bored and thought it was neat. https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=33.707354,-78.868929&spn=0.00491,0.005681&t=h&z=18

A good place to start is http://www.investopedia.com There you can read a lot of very good information about all types of investing and wealth management as well as use their simulator to play around with the live market with simulated money. I'm always happy to answer questions, much of what I know is geared towards very short term scalping and swing trading though I do know how to read industry and balance sheets to pick longer term investments reasonably well, its just I like to be much more active in growing the money.

Be cautious guys, I know some big gains have been posted this year, but this has been a stellar year for investments. If you go read elitetrader.com forums you'll find guys who even in this great uptrend lost everything (I've read about as much as $400K) and are now wondering how/why. Its very easy to get caught up in gains and loses can take it all away just as easily. To be a trader is a lot like poker or blackjack. To be consistent you must cut your loses quickly and let your winners run until you see a turning point.
