Thinking About the Car Thing, Redux...in honor of JD's Mini!
(12 Apr 2009)
OK, I posted this a couple of months ago:
So, an update.
Due to some diligence, extra income, and focus, my car is actually going to be paid off on May 1. Current value: $17K on trade-in (I have to get the cracked windshield fixed first, ~ $800, so net is $16.2K) or ~ $20K for private sale.
I've done a LOT of test-driving, to find a car that's reasonably sporty (fun to drive), while still allowing my elderly mom to get in and out, and which will tow our jetski trailer.
Thus far, I've driven:

Mini Lathe opinions please
(08 Jun 2009)
Hello all,
I have been thinking about getting into making my own plugs, and have done a lot of reading and talking to some friends I know who are into woodworking.
I don't really have the funds to go all out, and Would like to try and make a few plugs before I really invest tons of $ into something that I have never done before.
With all that being said I have searched all over looking for some inexpensive lathes and came across this
its a 1/3 HP, 2amp variable speed (700-3,200 rpm) lathe.
The r...

thinking about a 6 week prop/dbol cycle
(11 May 2009)
need your opinions for a 4-6 week cycle I can't do much longer than that. So what I was thinking was:
week 1 & 2: 150mgs prop eod
week 3-6: 150mgs prop eod, 30mgs dbol ed
one of the reasons why Im not starting dbol right at the beginning of the cycle is because Iv heard mixed reviews on what Im going to take. So I'd rather see if the prop is the real deal. If its not than I'll abondon the cycle all together and do a mini pct (just incase there was some active test in the prop). About 2 weeks bef...

HDTV connection:Mini Display port or Mini Dvi?
(07 Apr 2009)
I need to connect my 09' Mac Mini to my Yamaha RX-V2700 receiver which outputs to my Sony XBR HDTV. I know the mini has both mini-dvi to dvi and mini-dp to dvi or hdmi available via adapters. I was thinking to go with option 1 however I was wondering what is your opinions? Is mini-display port better over mini-dvi or are they the same? Audio will be carried over optical toslink.
Option 1:
Using mini-dvi adapter to dvi: Connect Dvi-Hdmi cable to receiver and output audio with toslink adapter.
Opt...

Thinking about replacing AppleTV with MacMini
(10 Jun 2009)
I've been thinking really hard lately about replacing the AppleTV with the MacMini. I am going to use it to watch movies, tv shows and occasionally use the internet. I have a few concerns and questions about doing this.
My first question is which MacMini should I get? Is there one that would be better? I'm looking into getting a refurbished one. How much RAM do I need? I'm not worried about the hard drive space because I will be using an external 1TB for most movies. The main difference between...

mini lathe or mini mill
(24 May 2009)
Im ready to take the plunge and purchase one of these to give me some more flexibility in terms of housings. What would you recommend out of a lathe or milling machine. Im fairly limited in budget so will probably be looking at the mini variants in each, namely a x2 mini mill or c2 mini lathe, both around the $1000 aud mark.
The only other factor to take into consideration is that i have a some experience on a lathe but zero experience on a mill, but obviously willing to learn. The real attracti...

Opinions on Mini 14's
(14 Jun 2009)
I see alot of ruger mini 14's for sale out there. Is that because people buy them because they look kinda cool but shoot poorly. Are they an accurate rifle? Ive seen some american companies that customize them into very nice rifles. Some claim they can make them sub.75 MOA accurate. If a fellow bought one converted to a .204 can they be brought into canada?

Thanks for any commentary.
I think i like the .204 ballistics better then the .223 but they are...
