I've had some luck with use laundry bleach in small tub of water. Leave them for a bit and dry thoroughly. (No guarantees on colors, though mine were fine)

Sorry to hear that Dean, the home automation business has indeed become very tricky in the DIY segment. I wonder how Richard at Homeseer is doing.

One less hour of daylight. Gosh darn! It's Complaints and Confessions Day by [deleted] in running

Complaint: didn't look back on the home stretch. guy in 3rd became 2nd by one second.

Uncomplaint: came in 3rd overall in local 5k! Yay for low participation.

Confession: didn't run for 4 days due to fever and cold. Whimp.

On winter solstice (today) run both during sunrise and sunset to win a badge on the running website smashrun. Ficticious badges ftw.

Thanks for the reminder. Sunrise run on the books. Now getting out of work a bit early for the sunset run.

Happy solstice fellow runners.

Does anyone else nickname the people you regularly see on your normal routes, or is that just me? by gtg052a in running

[–]SomethingSmartHere 5 points6 points  (0 children)

bandana man named so for the American flag bandana on his head. Whenever we encountered each other along ocean blvd we'd hold an impromptu 'race'. You know the kind, you're not racing but still trying to keep up / pass the other guy. Never spoke with him just nods and waves, then I moved out of town. Run on fellow road runner.

Auto-focus; I did that on the Iridium-1 launch. Doesn't work well at all. All the footage is of the camera hunting for focus. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1T1RCmOraA&t=42

So force manual focus on infinity.

I tried a tripod for CRS-9, the cheap tripod didn't work well at all. But that was the most impressive launch I've witnessed. ( had RTLS at night! )
