    Emergency Power/Storms/Prepping etc

    I liked Dead River Vics back in the day. I guess it has changed hands but Vic did a great job on that place!

    Emergency Power/Storms/Prepping etc

    I lived in Leesburg for 7 years and don't recall ever losing power for an extended period of time. They are a municipal utility and pretty good. Duke had a transformer fire (?) in Grand Isle recently that was not storm related. I suspect you are with SECO and I have no experience with them...

    Go-Kart Troubles After Midnight

    Kid across from me seems to be partially challenged and still lives at home well later than we all did. But he has a knack for fixing small engines. He accumulates go-carts, dirt bikes and such. I came up on him riding after dark with out lights. We are rural without any street lights. I...

    Ughhh... Gonna be a wet weekend

    My drive home yesterday saw an Amazon and Doritos tractor trailer jackknifed west bound I-4 and county line road (plant city, Florida) not there when it happened and can't find news on line but Amazon was on the north side and Doritos on south side. This morning I passed this on I-75. I passed...

    Ughhh... Gonna be a wet weekend

    Surprised this thing I'd still lingering. TECO outages at 12000, Duke at 50000, Peace river, GRU and Withlacoochee river less than 5000 each. For those not in Florida, our utilities are still regulated so there is no finger pointing on who bears responsibility for what.

    What the heck is a PIF? Public Improvement Fee

    Cypress Creek Town Center imposes this. Most stores just hide it after the word got out. https://www.tampabay.com/news/pasco/2019/10/30/shoppers-at-these-pasco-stores-pay-an-extra-fee-like-it-or-not/

    Ughhh... Gonna be a wet weekend

    Tornado warnings for much of central Florida. Had one reported near me in Fort Meade. Heard a roar but saw nothing in cameras. News said it didn't touch down. https://www.newschief.com/story/weather/severe/2024/08/04/tropical-storm-debby-updates-whats-happening-in-lakeland-and-polk/74666733007/

    Ideas or suggestions for a portable camera pole

    Yeah, I guess a basketball hoop would reek of rookie in a commercial application! :) Still, looking at the tetherball sets on Amazon might give you some ideas for fabrication of a solid support. We used a wheel and tire filled with concrete growing up. Still unprofessional but covering it with...

    Ideas or suggestions for a portable camera pole

    How about a tetherball pole? Or a portable basketball hoop. They are light then fill with water when in place. Just remove the hoop and backboard. I frequently see these discarded.

    Anyone have experience with drone cameras?

    DJI is the one I looked at. I think it was dronenerds.com that I saw the $24k price. To carry herbicide, pump and spray nozzles etc, that thing must be huge!

    Anyone have experience with drone cameras?

    One could lose eyesight just flying up and down a river while enjoying a beer on your dock. Checking trotlines without leaving the camp! I looked at an agriculture drone for spraying crops to the tune of $24k. It would beat hiring a crop duster for relatively small plots.

    Anyone have experience with drone cameras?

    That link comes up as not available in my area (USA). I could see how if a drone was used with ill intent anyone in a 100km area could be suspect.

    Anyone have experience with drone cameras?

    Thank you! Lots of good info I will pass on and peruse. Another friend has a cabin north of Houston that he hasn't been able to check out after the hurricane. We all have IP cameras that would give us some remote viewing ability but a remote drone could let us check for roof damage as an...

    Anyone have experience with drone cameras?

    I have a friend that wants to get into drones and another that does professional drone photography for weddings, ads, etc. While talking to them, I started wondering that if I have a drone at one location and am generally not there, Could I fly the drone from across country without a HUGE outlay...

    Andy, I just reread the lottery rules to see when numbers will be picked and it says "Use the following website for the lottery with results posted on June. 24th, fair and transparent. I will invite some guys here to pickup the winners." Did you mean July 24th?

    I need to learn how to search better! I searched for 12E and got no hits. It is also on the sales list for $237 so maybe it is the way to go for the OP!

    EmpireTech 9th Anniversary (Summer)Sales

    Wow, I have the 12E. The dimensions on the LPR is 20.28" × 4.91" × 7.21" and the 12E is 10.76" × 3.74" × 3.74" So it is WAY bigger! I thought the 12E was large but a great camera. I do not even see it listed on empiretech01.com, maybe it is EOL? But at $349 it is a good deal!
