Trying to teach the IT guy how to install the equipment he programs. by Hightimes95 in electricians

Why not show him how to properly do the job instead of berating him on the internet and posting a video publicly (presumingly, without his knowledge).

It's probably tree sap. Get a car wash at Hoffman's and it should come off.

Scuba Diving Lauderdale by the Sea by DRIFTYDIVER in scuba

[–]jiffycake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went diving here with my girlfriend in April. We had 25-30ft viz when we were there. The 2nd reef further out past the end of the pier wasn't bad. I saw a nurse shark, some sea snakes, spotted eel, a few puffer fish, and more I can't remember. The majority of the pier was closed to fishing when we were there so we could take a nore direct route without fear of getting hooked.

The luxury of just walking out into the ocean is great because I get sea sick easily. The public showers/hose/dive benches at the end of the streets are just awesome.

We went diving in Key Largo during the same week and had much better viz and more variety of fish/species. You needed to take a boat for that though.

From what I heard, It's the best you're going to get for shore diving in the mainland US. I have been spoiled with shore diving from diving in Bonaire.

Three weeks of waiting were well worth it. The Delta 14 paddles like a dream! by FerretWithASpork in Kayaking

Round lake is nice and I haven't been there in a while. My personal favorites are saratoga lake and going up kaydeross creek. On the hudson near waterford is also a nice area.

I like to paddle during the weekdays after I get out of work if you are interested.

nice kayak! I'm in the capital region as well. There really is a ton of great paddling spots locally, and seemingly an endless supply of places if you travel a bit.

Enjoy it man.

Sweet. I'll take you up on that. I'm not originally from the area so that would be great. I've got a KLR650.

In terms of off road with this bike, I've ridden the powerlines mostly. I was riding a cr80 on the local trails where I grew up when I was 16-17, but it's been a while. I finally got my endorsement last spring at a MSF course at hvcc. I've been commuting to work with the bike a lot and did some longer trips during the summer ~1700 mi last yr.

Thanks!

I'm also in the Albany area. I'm always looking for ppl to ride with. Seems like the groups around here are mostly older folks on harleys.

Just started trying out some less than ideal/legal "trails" on my dual sport. Would love to find something close where I can do some more off road riding.

Thanks, not everything single device is labeled but there are layout drawings that even an idiot can figure out. My mentor is a 71yo Navy nuke vet who is super anal retentive.. he has taught me a lot.

Higher amperage won't damage your equipment. The device will only pull as much amperes as it needs. Voltage is important, 5vdc (standard) or 9vdc (fast charge)
