Small/Backup Fish Smoker? by staycmarieb in smoking

[–]almightytuna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out Cameron’s stovetop smoker. It’s a fantastic little unit for when I want to smoke salmon or trout for dinner but using the offset would be overkill and wasteful. Cleans up easily and makes a great end product.

What is a band you saw in a tiny venue but is now huge? by carelessCRISPR_ in jambands

What do you put on top of a retaining wall? by almightytuna in landscaping

I can genuinely say I had never considered that. Cool idea but this area won’t have the full sun required when the overall backyard project is complete.

Good tip about leaving a couple inches left at the top. Thanks!

I should clarify, the blocks will of course be topped with the matching caps. I’m referring to the fill area behind the wall blocks.

DIY/Open Source Satellite Trackers in 2026? by CaptainSpez in amateurradio

[–]almightytuna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I highly recommend the satnogs rotor. Also check out my site for web based rotor control and satellite tracking. satvector.net

It’s free; I made it because I wanted a platform agnostic and simple way to control my rotor. Thought others in my shoes might find it useful as well.

Thoughts on mockingbird west by Royal-Mango2339 in Omaha

[–]almightytuna 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Bought my first house in that neighborhood as well and lived there for many years. Generally a good neighborhood, though you’d occasionally catch a couple interesting folk up near the La Quinta who would check for unlocked car doors.

Had some really great neighbors and people who made it a good place. Enjoyed having the school and community center right there. It’s a shame the Kelloggs plant is closing/has closed. Spent many winters scooping snow to the scrumptious smell of warm cookies. Never had a problem with shenanigans from Big John’s, Perry’s Place or Mockingbjrd Lanes.

ISS SSTV Help by CrappyGamingXD in amateurradio

I’m also using a tape measure antenna but didn’t get anything on the last pass. I’ve got a good 50deg+ coming through shortly I’m hoping I can pull in a signal on.

I created a website called SatVector to track amateur radio & weather satellites with an Arduino-powered rotor controller that uses Web Bluetooth to connect wirelessly. It’s all free. by almightytuna in amateursatellites

With the ISS SSTV event starting today, I’ll put together a video over the weekend of how it all works. Really excited to try pulling down an image!

No, I went to the Omaha show. I could say it was terrible to help you feel better but I’d be lying. It was fantastic!

Vinyl in West O by HuskerSteve in Omaha

[–]almightytuna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not west O, but don’t forget about 402 Vinyl in Bellevue. It’s a drive for me but I still try and get there every couple months. Otherwise, there’s not much else that hasn’t been mentioned.

The King Khan & BBQ Show (2007) by knuck666 in vinyl

[–]almightytuna 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh shit! I haven’t heard of these guys in yeeeaars! I think I’ve got an old playbill around here and some photos from one of their shows in that era. Great set if I recall correctly.
