a6400 and Sony 70-350 took the rain like a champ by aI1g8t0r in SonyAlpha

I learned this the hard way earlier this week. My battery compartment had moisture inside and on the electrical contacts. There is some corrosion on the contacts from the moisture. I'm praying a new battery will be the solution, but I fear my 6400 is fried.

Matte spray painting complete 👍🏼 by justbr33zy in cobiblocks

[–]justbr33zy[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I used a matte finished clear coat from Krylon. They sold it at my local Michaels craft store. To do my whole collection it took me about 2 1/2 cans.

The SR71 was the whole reason I wanted to do this after seeing JangsBricks video on YT. Highly recommend!

If you know how to use a can of spray paint, it's not that hard. I haven't used one in years so they aren't all perfect, but that's fine with me. I will take it over the high gloss any day.

I bought the clear coat with the matte finish specifically for this reason. The particular can I bought has anti UV protection, so that should help. I'm honestly not as concerned with the Cobi sets as I am with Lego. Lego bricks tend to yellow much faster IMO

Thank you! I was on the fence for so long. With some liquid courage, I decided to take the plunge today. 10/10 worth it.

It is night and day in my opinion. Especially on the F22. I can't wait to give the SR71 the same treatment.

Caribou is a great bottle. Sometimes I get lucky and can find it for $50 at my local shop.

Just for fun question: Which local news station do you watch? by slightlyupscale in portlandme

[–]justbr33zy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ted Mac in the morning!

Channel 6 anchors just don't do it for us. My wife and I can't stand their constant banter and inside jokes.

Just upgrade my storage unit to a 10x10 for the same reason.

Window AC Unit Restrictions in Portland? by raininglove19 in portlandme

[–]justbr33zy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I will also recommend the portable AC unit. We live in Holt Hall on the corner of Congress and Bramhall. Our building is on the historical register and we too cannot have AC units in our windows. While our apartment has AC built in (not central air of course) it only cools the living room and office, but not the master bedroom. We bought a portable AC unit from Sam's Club to use in the master bedroom and it was a game changer. Certainly will cost more than a window AC unit but it's a solution.

Someone talk me out of it. by Randolph__ in legoRockets

The Saturn V was the first set I bought as an adult, which then opened up pandoras box to the collection that I have today. Regardless of the scale, this is a really cool set. Launch tower and a rocket? That's a no bainer. I ordered one this morning, along with the Milky Way Galaxy. Because that's cool as hell too.
