    Scanning slides and negatives

    We have boxes of old slides and negatives from back in the days when we used this quaint stuff called "film". My wife would like to get some of the pictures converted to digital format. I'd also like to scan in my Dads old B&W pictures. Any recommendations on a good piece of equipment to do this?

    It's Hot CoCoa time!

    Basic Hot Cocoa using the package directions on the Hersey can is great. I love that I can control the amount of sugar, for health reasons and because most mixes are way to sweet for my taste. But I'm sure this is only the intro to a whole world of chocolate beverage goodness. Post up and...

    3M extreme sealing tape 4412N

    The 3M factory rep stopped by yesterday. He had a sample of this stuff, it looked great. Links; 3M products page 4412N flyer I could see it used to seal home built trailers, campers, or storage boxes. It looks like it would also be great for dust sealing production built RV's. When you...

    Xterra question

    My wife saw an Xterra the other day and thought she might want one. I'm a Land Cruiser guy so I know nothing about them, no particular bias against them, just been driving Cruisers since HS and never looked much further at import 4WD trucks. What I do know is every model of every brand has...

    100 series factory Aux tank

    I found a factory 100 series aux tank for a reasonable price. :wings: Now comes the fun part, how do I make it work with a minimal investment of time and money. Since I'm not a slave to the oem installation concept there is likely to be a transfer pump*. I plan to put the controls for it as...

    The Dogs Dinner

    Anybody have stories about a dog eating dinner, more specifically your dinner? One year when I was a kid my standard poodle, Brutus, ate the Easter ham. I can't remember the details but I'll never forget everybody walking into the dining room to see him laying on the table gnawing on the ham.

    Four days on the trail; menu

    It's a tough trail so no leisurely lunch breaks and no elaborate breakfast. Dinner will be shared with one vehicle cooking each night. I'm in my FJ40 and have no fridge/freezer, just ice chest and very little room. I can keep ice for three days this time of year but I have a day of transit. So...

    Pick ONLY ONE pot/pan

    If you could only have ONE pot/pan what would it be? I'm not talking just for overland but for all your cooking. I'm leaning toward the Wok. Great for any kind of frying or saute, from stir fry to fajitas, even scrambled eggs. Good for deep frying. Adequate for soups and stews and braising...
