merc1.jpg merc2.jpg merc3.jpg This beauty is for sale at a local shop. He specializes in 50's and earlier iron. It's been updated with a 4.3 V6 and a 5 speed out of (I assume) a Chevy S10 :( , but the rest of it is GORGEOUS. Asking $14.5K, Mawteen hasn't outright refused to approve it so maybe...

I didn't realize that you lived so close to the beach. You could run over for a dip purt near anytime you want. Of course, being as you are so close to the Arctic Circle, it might be a tad nipply certain times of the year. :shock: Only in months with letters in them. Downstate, the Gulf Stream come...

Wow Paul, what a fantastic toy. I love the photos! It IS fun! I have an idea it could be a money pit tho, looking at accessories. Took this a couple of days ago: hahbah.jpg Taken from directly above my house looking South East. That's the harbor, then the Gulf of Maine (aka the Atlantic Ocean).

Hmmmmmm. Pretty sure it'd haul a pretty good payload of Cherry Bombs...

I didn't think to check the altitude, but at a guess I'd say 75 feet or so. It's capable of saving to my phone, I just need to figure that out. At the moment, I just pop the SD card out of the drone and download them to the computer. Better that way anyway, as I'd have to send them from the phone to...

Playing with the drone some more. Pretty impressed with the camera, especially at the price point. Next step is to check out the video function.

I have one that I ONLY use for Amazon purchases. I pay it off in full every month as it's a Chase card and the interest is stupid. The only reason I even have it is for the 5% back on Amazon purchases. And speaking of Amazon, I will NOT be renewing my Prime membership that I've had for years. It's b...

New Harbor Freight store opened in town. Nearest one used to be in Bangor, 60+ miles away and I could easily resist going there unless I really NEEDED something. This one is in Ellsworth, and I'm there at least once a week. I stopped in today for the "grand opening" and walked out a tad ov...

Finalized the deal yesterday - no longer my problem. Too much work for a truck I don't need and daughter doesn't want (doesn't do manual transmissions). I'll store it here for a few days while he gets his shop ready and he understands that it's HIS problem now. When he decides what to do about the f...

My phone (and I suspect most phones these days) takes very nice pictures, but they're HUGE - 2 or 3 megabytes, if not more.

I usually reduce them to 10% of original size and even then some require further tweaking.
