    Ran across the street for a bit this afternoon. literally across the street... The equinox hit its first silver of the year. Crappy little park that I've worked pretty hard, still puts a surprise out once in a while. Small and thin (real thin) but silver none the less. A little bit of clad...

    The Nox and I spent a couple hours across the street looking for low tones. A couple of cheap rings and bling was the reward. After giving the explorer issue some thought, I think maybe the gain is set to high. Will have to give it another go today. I run the Equinox in field 2 wide open in...

    Really Bummed Out

    And, there is life after rotator cuff surgery. Had it done in 99' that shoulder is better than the one that never gave me issues. Will keep you both in my prayers.

    Really Bummed Out

    Hate to say it, but I see this continuing till November and maybe after. Some have yelled and pointed at the socialism creeping across this country for decades. I believe we're all gonna get a wide eyed in your face look at that beast between now and then. The people could not be told They...

    Guess I had become a little spoiled with shipping times. Seems things that used to be 2 days now take 10 to 14. Well, I ordered the replacement cell pack, hard to beat 2000mh for 25$. Hopefully it'll be here before July. Had to call on something else I ordered this morning. Tracking just...

    Well, I would have to credit the ex for this one. Put in the attic and undisturbed for probably 18 years. Put new batteries in the whites, sure enough, fired right up. Will get some nimh replacement cells ordered tomorrow, might get to take it out next weekend if they get shipped early...

    She looks great! Battery is toast, but everything is as it should be! Very pleased. Even the coinmaster cleaned up well... guess I'll have to toss some c cells in it and see if it still beeps.

    Alright, had to drive down to the kids place to get it, he had a work issue. Picked up the explorer, the X-1 (sn 549), battery is charging, we'll see if it will take enough to fire the girl up... also a set of Timberwolf headset I had forgot about, and the ol' whites coinmaster 5500D.

    The name... I ordered a block of curly maple, 4"x6"x20" and lost my PayPal account. Suspended indefinitely... The receipt for the wood read "for gunstock". So paypal tossed my account because I was building a gun... a reproduction of a 1780s dueling pistol. (Fascinated how they made...

    I will probably do just that, replace the battery and go. At least through this season. Looks like I have the original li-po. Betting the charger has walked off long ago. I see I can pick up new cells for that... Anyone ordered that 3d printed battery holder for 18650 batteries? The one...

    Ok, to start off, this is my first post on the site, give me a second and I think you'll understand. So 20 years ago I had gotten into this hobbie, and was really having a good time. Enough so that I had spent the $ on a explorer XS, and the Sunray X-1 probe. Then 9-11 happened, at the time...
