lol! that's funny yah, definitely use epoxy but not sure if there are differences between them.

hey mr.alcheng! hope your trip back is (was) smooth!

thanks on the lens input. folks have told me 35mm would be better than 50mm for car since i can take shots without backing up via sneaker zoom. i can also get the slight distortion i like to emphasize roundness on some shots, and use for scenic shots as well. not sure.. i will need to think this over more.


you do realize the other speeds also includes kids in the car...


sounds great. GL with your project, mr.gale!


good morning everyone!

What I meant about kids is that there are kids running around and playing. I've personally seen 2 people get hit by cars in my life time on the block where I grew up. One was a 7 year old girl that I had warned several time that day to stay out of the street. I think that I was about 12 at the time. The other was a 16 year old teenager. Her brother was chasing her in the street and on the sidewalk, and then she darted back out into the street and collided with an oncoming car. She flew through the air like a baton. The car wasn't actually speeding. It's just that a car with its mass exerts a lot of energy (E = 1/2 mv2). She survived it and is okay today, but what an ordeal that was for her and her family. Therefore, on residential roads, I always creep, often less than the speed limit, especially when parked cars block my view.

Good morning all.

My 2 cents on speed limit is around here you basically shouldn't go more than 5 MPH over the posted limit on any road except highway. Highway is 10 over Max. 7 over in a 55 MPH non interstate/highway road Can get you a ticket in Illinois....stupid I know.

7 over??? That was true in NY in the 1970's. I recall my mom talking about when she received a speeding ticket for going 62 in a 55.

My take on speed limits is that I make up my own. I respect residential and school zones but highways or backroads all bets are off. Gimme a ticket, I dont care. I cant drive 55.

Uneventful drive into work today so I have nothing exciting to report on that end.

I did get to turn off a full three racks worth of servers, backup drives and other supporting equipment for an antiquated Heathcare system this morning! That's a rare occurance! The hospital in question has migrated off that system over six years ago!

Have a great day all!

i was like wtf, it's not geezer hour yet, stay home at least until 9am.

You young whipper snapper, we old geezers rule the road...Just Kidding.

I lived near a retirement community and you could not walk through the Safeway parking lot without almost being killed by a Blue hair in a BIG Cadillac.

I walked over to yell at a few once, and the look of surprise and lack of cognitive thinking in their eyes told me all I need to know..

Don't put them on your ignore list, because they will run you over...Blue hair alert....

that's the danger of these old folks who can't drive (not all cause my pops is old and he can drive fine)...

they innocently dont understand they almost caused a very serious accident. they need to be tested annually for driving after reaching 65 (or earlier?). yes it's a pita for them but they're retired, have plenty of time. just get out of the way when we working folks are out and about trying to fix the damn economy they keep trying to suck money out of.

Bucketlist2012

I totally agree with almost all of your statement. Yes they need to be tested annually..

I am retired at 50, now 52, and I get out of everyone's way, unless I am on the Track. I understand people need to get things done and make a buck, so I haven't forgotten what it is Like.

Only the last statement I can't agree with. I have plenty of retirement money, but I will be damn sure to take my Social Security at 62, because it is my money.

Sure by then, then will "means' test it so they can punish those of us who spent a lifetime saving and investing, just so they can give it to people that either never saved, or never put into the system at all.

I will be punished for doing the right things.

True it is one giant Ponzi scheme, but these people paid into the system and the economy is not their fault...It is the Voters fault..

But everything else, you are right on target..

P.S. I think we need to stay on Z stuff...I don't want to get banned and shunned from society any more than I already am....
