This is my Browning bait caster go to reel. I use it for fresh & salt water. Especially good for flounder drift fishing.

Caught a few monster sea bass at Ocean City Inlet (Maryland) recently.

I used to always et Galaxys. Last one failed after 2 years. Got a Pixel 8 when it first came out and love it. Just the bare bones android system w/out the bloat that comes with other phones. No facebook, no games, no garbage. Good for me because I only use the phone for calls, txt, pictures, email ...

Live again!

TonyT

Chicks are fine.

TonyT

Live stream down temporarily due to big electrical storm in area. should be back in a couple days once the infrastructure has been repaired.

TonyT

Both nests now have hatched babies. The youtube live stream can be rewound to spot feedings.

Rustdesk does not require self-hosting, though it would be most efficient that way. They have a stand alone exe (no install) and an msi (installed). The stand alone lacks certain admin functions due to Windows security defaults.

I used to always use Teamviewer until it got quirky and too too much bs. Recently started using https://rustdesk.com/, free & opensource too.

Been a while SG members!

This year we got the live osprey nest streams back up and running. The nests are out in the middle of the Patuxent River, a tributary of the Chesapeake Bay. Presently nest 1 has 2 eggs and nest 2 has 1 egg. Nest 1 is powered by 2 400w solar panels, nest 2 has 40v ac in a ...

Talked to my son in LA. He laughed and said the storm was just like a common heavy Northern VA thunderstorm. No big deal.

I use the old standard cast iron pans for non-stick frying.

TonyT

SS pans work great for eggs IF the butter is heated to the right temp. Too low and eggs will stick, too hot and they will stick. If butter or oil smokes it's too too hot.

My observations:
The primary use of computers (laptops & desktops), tablets and phones is entertainment. Just like TVs are for entertainment.
The secondary use is is motivated by other purposes, i.e. production of some type such as edu, work, etc.

Portability is a factor too. With a phone one can ...

Yes, the virus molecules are smaller, but most droplets get stopped by masks.
Ever see someone vaping using a mask? Water vapot goes right through and also out the sides.
Masks do reduce the spread slightly.
Those in poorer health are more at risk, esp heart disease, asthma and diabetes folk, and ...

My 2 cents

While covid is a real virus and a real threat, it has been hyped into something that it is not.
The media reported stats and numbers are skewed and false.

The CDC just released their latest fatality report. For weeks 2/1/20 through 8/22/20 in the US, The CDC reports "For 6% of the ...

Best way to learn is to take and older (or newer) computer and install a Linux distribution on it (not dual boot your main computer). Fiddle with it and learn as you go. Then wipe it and install a different distribution on it. Repeat process. Have no concerns about breaking things because you will ...

It was awesome and yes, I'd do it again.
I think the guy was horizontal at times to steer and slow the descent.
The adrenaline rush is incredible and lasts for hours after landing.

Bucket list item fulfilled.

If have the money I's go with a system from Dahua. They took over Flir systems cameras.
https://us.dahuasecurity.com/product-category/network-products/ptz_network/

Definitely get PoE, PTZ and minimumly 2 megapixel 1080p. If have the bandwidth get 4k cameras. Also, it want sound, many ip cams have ...

Does Anydesk retain a list of previously connected computers and a standalone program like teamviewer quick support? If so I will try it too. I too am tired of TeamViewer nagging me about "older versions" and cutting the connection after X minutes. And I sure as hell am not going to pay them an ...

Rarely more han 2 chicks will survive. I think an owl got the runt in nest 2. The horned owls down there are 6" taller than the adult ospreys.

TonyT

3 chicks in nest 1 now, hatched a few days ago.

TonyT

2 chicks in nest 2 now.

Yep, one was born this morning.

I saw the site, looks good :) Just one live stream was embedded there though.

Thanks for sharing the specs, how do you power the cameras/APs?
The site has an embedded video from last year. There's a link to the live stream above the pic & video.
Nest 1 is powered via 2- 400w solar panels w/ 2 ...

TonyT

Thanks for sharing Tony, they are fascinating. I still remember that runt from last year.
What equipment, cameras/Wi-Fi did you use?

Cameras: FLIR N346ZW124
APs/Clients: TP-Link CPE510
TP-Link router
FLIR DVR w/ 4tb drive

We are very pleased with the picture and audio quality of this setup ...

TonyT

Replaced the camera at nest 2 and some power components.
Winters here are hard on outdoor electronics.

Eggs should be hatching in a week or so.

Yardy, you can wash your feet in it too, I'd pay for that picture

12v 2amp trickle charge, higher setting does the job faster but the water evaporates too fast.

Whoa, an electrolytic dip

Yes, and easy peasy to make. All you need is a non-metal tub and a piece of metal electrode for the + side and a wire hang & submerge for - side. And about a quarter cup washing soda in water. 12v charger on low 2v setting.

I use a random orbit sander every few years on my table saw top which is kept in my garage. After sanding off the rust layer I coat it with any oil or wax from an unscented candle. The wax makes wood slide easy too.

For some things I use a homemade "grinder" with a pulley system and 2 sets of wire ...

Well, technically speaking, a hot dog is the dog itself, the mystery meat thing. A hot dog can, and usually is, served on a hot dog bun. It's also served on a stick and still called a hot dog. A hot dog is a sausage. If the sausage is served on any type of bread or roll I say it's is a sandwich ...

I'll check those out, thank you.
French press has never done it for me despite all the rave reviews my friends and co-workers have.
Just weird I can go to Target and out of 12 coffee makers every one is a basket style.
I use a French press daily now. Tried 'em years ago and never liked the outcome ...

merry xmas and happy new year!

I say build the wall. Then all we need do is look for the tunnels, which will multiply fast.

Interesting.. I didn't realize they let you use your own router, and that they require coax for channel guide.
AT&T GigaFast Fiber charges you for the equipment/install, but there is no recurring rental of their modem/router (unlike Comcast, Cox, and Verizon, apparently).
Yes, can use own router ...

TonyT

Forgot to mention that I am NOT using the verizon junk router either. I'm using my own Buffalo with custom firmware. I still have Cox cable for TV though. I'd switch to FIOS for TV if I could get the channel guide. FIOS still feeds the channel guide and on demand via coax connected to the FIOS ...

First got cable Internet in 1999, Roadrunner.
After 19 years Cox has failed to keep up with the competetion.
My current plan is 100 mb download and only 10 mb upload, $79/mo.

Just had FIOS installed (no charge) and get 100 mb down and 100 up for $55/month for 1st year, after that it goes up to $70 ...

32bit and 64bit have nothing to do with the hard drive or its partitions. It has to do with the processor architecture. 64bit operating systems should also be able to run 32bit software IF the software is compatible. If it's not then you'll have to partition the drive and install a second operating ...

They will start flying with the male soon and learn to fish.
