    Cooler thief hit neighbors house

    127 degrees? Stealing that cooler was self defense.

    Garden Pictures

    This is garden area #3. The beds in the background are repurposed concrete electrical pullboxes (20"X30"ish) with Pinto beans, Sugar Snap peas, Black Eyed peas, Green beans and tomatoes. For only having 6 of each plant, the yield was pretty good, the green beans and black eyed peas are on...

    Ford truck danger!

    White plate of some sort on the front, toolbox sitting above the bed, bedliner on the driver side, but not the tailgate in both videos.

    Stolen Van

    Even easier in FL, homemade trailers have no serial number or title if they are under 2,000 LB.

    Pre-Wire Options for new home

    Even as an electrician who wired his own house in 2005, I did not see the point to running network cabling (everything will be WiFi). I spent Thanksgiving weekend last year running network cabling in the attic. It's a lot easier to do it right the first time.

    Lucky Turkey

    Not a turkey expert, but looks like a male to me, which in my area are almost always solo, with the females and babies grouped up in larger groups.

    Blue Iris , Power Outage

    Back in the day, we had DirecTV and whenever the power came back on it took a couple of minutes for the receiver to reboot, and during a good storm in FL, the power would go off again before the boot cycle was completed. So in went a small UPS, 5 minute run time was more than enough. Next was...

    Door Checker?

    That's not random door checking. He's got zero interest in your vehicle other than using it for cover. So is he running from someone or does he have a specific interest in your neighbor's stuff? What are the odds somebody goes out for a stroll at 4AM and needs to hide from some bad guys and...

    Any one use Free (unlicensed) Windows 10 w/ Blue Iris?

    Probably another good reason to look for a used Optiplex. Use Dell's image recovery to download the original OS (not always available for old, old machines) and then upgrade to W10.

    PSA: Now is not the time to trespass

    My wife suggested the sprinkler, I suggested using the area to dispose of the dog logs and boards with nails in them. That is my assumption. I suspect one of the neighbor's kids is sneaking a beer out of the restaurant and drinking it on the way home. Absolutely! When I ran the cabling, I...

    PSA: Now is not the time to trespass

    I don't know that there ever is a good time, but what are people thinking? Here's our property layout (in general) North side is highway frontage, East side has a barbed wire fence between our 5 acres and our neighbors 5 acres, South side barbed wire fence and 5 acres, West side barbed wire...

    Obsolete, Outdated, but cheap Optiplexes.(Optiply?)

    Every once in a while I make a mistake. Turns out one of the 960s has a Core 2 Quad processor, still nothing to scream about, but it's gonna be faster than a Duo.

    Obsolete, Outdated, but cheap Optiplexes.(Optiply?)

    As the closest thing to an IT guy at my office, I'm kind of in charge of our aging fleet of computers. I currently have 4 old Dell Optiplexes in my office that are going on EBay. There is a 780 SFF that is for parts only and 2 960 SFF and a 790 USFF that are fully functional. They are...

    Dashcam - How do you not see a full-size pickup?

    Maybe we should lobby congress to have bluetooth connectivity for car mirrors so that the mirror can also display your phone screen so you don't miss that text while changing lanes?

    Anyone Running Cat6 Cable & Mains in Parallel

    Where I am at, you can't mix data and power in the same conduit unless the data cable insulation is rated for the same voltage. If I were thinking of this, I would be looking for a shielded cable from the Belden catalog. I've seen plenty of has to be ___ inches away, has to cross at ___...

    Best place to buy schedule 40 grey conduit

    Since I have nothing better to do this morning at work, here's the cost of a 10' piece of 3/4 PVC SCH 40 with a 90 degree elbow. Lowes and HD do not include the price of a coupling, as their elbows have a bell end. Grainger and Graybar pricing includes 1 coupling. Grainger $9.78 Lowes...

    Best way to run cable through long runs of conduit?

    Yes, if done wrong. Jetline and mule tape are designed to not burn PVC. Mason's string will cut PVC as fast as a dull hacksaw.

    Best way to run cable through long runs of conduit?

    If you feed the cable thru each piece and then glue them together, you will probably glue the cable to the inside of the conduit, which prevents repulling should it be needed. Different methods for different situations. If it's less than 100' use a fish tape once the conduit is complete to...

    As I said in the other thread, now I have a spare 8 port switch with 4 PoE ports. Less than a month old just pay shipping. Switch has been forwarded to a new home. Most of the keystones and jacks are still up for grabs. Additionally, I was voluntold to clean up my companies storage warehouse...

    Holbs is the man!!! I now have probably the last switch I'll ever need, and as I said before I have some stuff to pass on as well.

    Bending PVC pipes: Hot sand method.

    If you are going to have exposed runs of PVC outside, make sure you use expansion fittings and more straps than you think are necessary. PVC expands and contracts a lot more than most people realize.

    Adtran Advanta 7100 24 port POE switch for free. Just cover shipping.

    Assuming holbs and I can get the shipping figured out, that means I'll have an almost brand new 8 port switch (only 4 poe) that I'll be happy to pass along to someone in need. Stay tuned.

    Adtran Advanta 7100 24 port POE switch for free. Just cover shipping.

    That would certainly beat the snot out of my current setup-an 8 port switch for 15 cables. I assume you probably don't want me to fax you cash?

    Swimming and fishing

    I spent the holiday weekend paying for many of my past sins. I'm an electrician by trade and I was able to wire our house when it was built 15 years ago. We still had dial up internet, and I knew nothing about network building so I wired the phone jacks in the old loop style. As devices have...

    4MP Budget Cam Black Friday Giveaway

    Up to this point, I would consider what I have been doing as playing with security cameras. I have an old Android tablet that has been my makeshift front yard camera for about 6 months now-and I can't complain too much, tablet was free, a free app allows it to stream something BI can pick up...
