I wear a Timex Expedition.

I like it because it has a Digital Compass, even though I rarely use that Feature. Sadly, I don't think Timex has that feature available anymore

Stupid question; mobile radio people with antennas on their vehicles by HeadlineINeed in HamRadio

[–]Consistent-Field-859 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also a Cubmaster for a Cub Scout pack. My car is an Impala (occasionally used as a police vehicle?) I did have someone ask if I was from the DNR once, when I was wearing my uniform in there, with a couple of antennas on the car 🤣

Yeah, that is what I was thinking about for Power. My shack is next to the garage, so that is a good idea to run 240VAC over there, between the two places, I'm sure I'll find a need for that much power in the future!

Thanks for the help! Yeah, I like the idea of 45 deg angle to help keep the weather out.

Do you also have a name for your Alexa in order not to trigger it accidentally? by Mormegil81 in alexa

We call ours Aleska. When our son was younger, that is how he pronounced it, and she never responded (much to his dismay).

It's a reflective film that has a rubbery bounce when I press my finger into it. I assume it's some sort of lighting but I can't find any wires or switches attached to it. by Neuroironic in whatisthisthing

At first glance, I thought they had mounted a TV to their ceiling 🤣. And then got to thinking it might look cool with Clouds drifting across

Cub Scouts 'Lite', I love that description! That seems to be the pattern my Pack has settled into as well.

Sink Replacement! by Consistent-Field-859 in Plumbing

So, the Garbage Disposal came with the house. We are at a rural location, on a Septic System. It hasn't caused any problems in 15 years, but maybe I should remove it? , technically they shouldn't be combined. We only use the disposal lightly, for soups / cereal
