  1. Bullet Back on the big screen.

    Mike C replied to 1930fordpickup's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge

    I remember seeing that movie in the theater when I was a kid. The chase scene had you stepping on an imaginary brake pedal. It's still an awesome chase scene and a good movie overall. I have my own copy on DVD.

    Well, when I lived on LI there used to be NY National Speedway in Center Moriches. I know since I've been gone there was a Long Island Dragway built. Is that gone too now? And now NJ has lost Englishtown? That sucks too. I'm sure glad I don't live there anymore.

  3. What Pleased You Today!

    Mike C replied to James2's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge

    Well, it was a few days ago. I found out that I was NOT going to get laid off my job as last Feb. I was told I might get laid off by this Aug.
  4. Me too.

  5. Harlan Ellison, Sci-Fi writer, dead at 84

    Mike C replied to Ace-Garageguy's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge

    Sorry to hear that. I saw him at a lecture in college back in '75.

  7. The lens is big and clear. No distortion in it. It's a glass lens too.
  8. I just got it from Amazon, you can also find it on Ebay. It uses LEDs and has a big lens that is 7.5" x 6.2". It's a 5 diopter (2.25 magnification). I replaced a round 5" florescent magnifier (same magnification) light that was a little shaky whenever I put it into position. This new one is rock steady. It has variable brightness too. It uses 9 Watts and is 680 lumens. The "buttons" on top are touch sensitive. In fact they will work when your finger is about 1/8" over them. Anyway, here's some photos.

  9. Avoiding sticky paint lids

    Mike C replied to DanR's topic in Tips, Tricks, and Tutorials

    Sounds like a great tip! I've been using a hair dryer to free up the stuck lids, this way I don't have to grab and dent the lids with a pliers.

    Where are we going to get CF decals from then? I mean there are other suppliers of PE goodies but I've never seen CF decals by anyone else.
