So, I was at my sisters place, fiddling with her Canon camera when I noticed that hers felt slightly different when taking pictures.

Never noticed it until now but my camera was missing the rubber eyepiece cup. :lol:

Couldn't figure the Dutch name for it and impatient that I am, went to Ebay and ordered it:

Decided to add on a few more gutters to my house so I had to buy more brackets and leaf guards. These things work incredibly well to keep everything out of your gutter. Besides the water. :D

I have to ask- do tree leaves get stuck on top of them, or do they slide off? My dad has kind of been thinking about getting those for the house, so I figured I'd ask.

Hard to tell from the pic but under that white triangle pattern is a plastic screen. Everything slides right off and the water drops in through the screen. I have quite a few trees around my house some containing very small leaves. I used to have to clean my gutters multiple times a year. It was a pain!

Last summer I installed this leafless gutter system onto my garage and one side of my house. Basically as an experiment. Checked them the entire summer, fall, winter, and spring. I have not had to clean the gutters out AT ALL since I installed them last year. :D So that's how I knew I was going to do the rest of my house with this system. Also, all my gutters and gutter covers are vinyl. Well worth the time and the work. Highly recommended. The top of the covers slide under the bottom row of the shingles. The bottom part of the cover slides into the gutter brackets. If you have any more questions or need close up pics of the install let me know. 👍

EDIT: Found a google pic. Looks just like this depending on how low or high you mount your gutters.

Oh, ok. how are the brakes? Do they work well?

Looks good though, I am sure you did not need a new battery on the drive home.... :sly:
Brakes are power assisted but not working correctly car stranded me because of the old battery

Oh well. You should put some mad magnetic hood straps on it.









If anyone hasn't figured it out already, we know each other in real life. haha :lol:

So, I decided my Yamaha TRB-6P 6 string bass guitar needed a backup! I have a couple of 4 string basses, but to go back to those would be something of a culture shock! I went the budge route using somi PPI money! The new addition cost just over a quarter of the price I paid for my Yamaha, second-hand, almost 20 years ago.

Because my Razor Sabertooth broke :indiff: Cable snapped clean off at point where it joins the controller. Beyond repair, sadly.

Since I didn't need the additional features, I decided to go with the XBone controller over another Sabertooth. Also, the regular 360 controller, at least the wired one for Windows, always felt pretty cheap, imho. The Razer's had the edge in that regard (no pun intended) and the XBOne controller feels better than the 360 one, I'd say. Cheaper than the Razer, too.
 
I usually don't drink any alcohol but every now and then I make an exception for straight rum. Rum pure tastes so good....

Pure rum tastes good? I think it is one of the weirdest tastes on the planet. Not disgusting but strange.

A landlubber if I've ever seen one, yes it absolutely does! Rum also quenches the stench of rotten fish, washes away the salty taste of sea air and dulls the pain of saber wounds.
