    Photo scanning services

    Any recomendations for scanning a bunch of old family photographs? The quality ranges from not good to OK. The purpose is to archive my 90 year old mothers massive album collection and get rid of a bunch of clutter. Price is more important that time frame

    EarthRoamer XV-JP "Northwest Edition"

    I know our sales tax is regressive, but exactly why is it unfair? Everybody should be aware of the fact that when a sale is made (including zero sum transfers and trades), a tax is paid. So what is your point here? You've lived in Washington a long time, and know how the budget is funded.

    EarthRoamer XV-JP "Northwest Edition"

    Why would anybody donate material to somebody who is getting paid for work, on a project owned by a rich person? Weird business model there.

    EarthRoamer XV-JP "Northwest Edition"

    I think that's it. But GVW is part and parcel of a build. I think the reason some don't want to discuss it is that it makes them uncomfortable, nothing else.

    EarthRoamer XV-JP "Northwest Edition"

    I doubt that all the componets that determine the GVW have in fact been changed. That would include axles and bearings, springs and perches, frame and vacuum booster.

    EarthRoamer XV-JP "Northwest Edition"

    It sounds like EarthRoamer did in fact do that. They brakes were built for a GVW of 5700 pounds, the XV-JP must have weighed near that bare, and with any resonable load for which it was intended, would have exceeded that. And this condition may have occurred at least until you changed the...

    EarthRoamer XV-JP "Northwest Edition"

    What is the GVW of the truck? Other web sites say the vehicle grosses out at 5700 pounds. Even with overload springs, the axles are still carrying too much load, as is the brakes. Is the truck really 1300 pounds over loaded?

    MIG welder recommendations for my project

    Sorry I got here late. I have a Thermal Arc 181i mutli-process machine ( MIG, FCAW-C, FCAW-G, GTAW and SMAW). I would recommend it highly. I also recommend Central and the Kirkland Praxair. Airgas is good, but Central is local, and Ken at the Totem Lake Praxair is a really good guy.

    '62 Unimog for sale in Snohomish WA

    I am not affiliated with this sale, but I live nearby and thought somebody might enjoy looking at some photo's. No phone number is listed, and the lot is a little odd, but if anyone seriously needs more information, I can see what I could do.
