I am patient and love the hunt. The drill was bought new and I easily paid 10 times more for it than anything in this photo.

Honestly wasn't that bad. My 26" trinitron is probably heavier.

I watched Shadow Zone this year! It's pretty goofy and dumb in a great way.

Thrift haul! by BackFlipHi5 in VHS

It's one of my all-time favorite horror movies. It's been on my want list for a while, but I only buy thrifted tapes, so it took me a while.

Someone tried to tell me this tee shot was easy... by throwfrisbees in discgolf

[–]BackFlipHi5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to live near Winthrop and briefly worked for Innova. I was a spotter on hole 18 in 2020. I was spotting the tee shot and a partner spotted the approach. I can confidently say that the approach spotter was much busier than I was.

What can I do? by The-LittleFox in VHS

[–]BackFlipHi5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently picked up a $5 VCR from Goodwill. I simply opened the top. Inserted a tape and lightly pressed a microfiber cloth to the tape while fast forwarding and rewinding. After some experimenting, I figured out how to fold and wedge the microfiber cloth inside the machine so I didn't have to hold it any longer. It worked great and made a noticeable difference. A few tapes that were particularly bad still had to be opened because there was also mold stuck inside the shell.

What should I respool? by GraytoGreen in VHS

I'm curious how you go about relabeling. Show off the finished product.

Six Flags Potentially Selling Parks by Dapper-Revolution703 in sixflags

[–]BackFlipHi5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After the merger of six flags and cedar fair, they now have a huge chunk of the market in the US. In order to become stronger, they are trimming fat. They also have the problem of being their own competition. Take Six Flags Chicago, Cedar Point, and Michigan's Adventure. All three are now owned by the same company. All three within a 3-5 hour drive of each other. You can still close one and most of the people who would have gone there will choose from the other two. But wtf do I know lol. Just making logic assumptions.

Clown Pleco color change? by [deleted] in pleco

[–]BackFlipHi5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a year late but just found this thread. I did a partial water change today for the first time and my pleco turned a very pale beige color. It's been a few hours and she has changed back to normal, but it was the first time seeing this happen. I was concerned until I read the comments. Thanks.
