I have tried everything I know of to rotate your picture but it just keeps showing as rotated.

Shaun @ Tru6 02-16-2020 09:30 AM

Rotate, color correct, save. I'm not sure why the extra step of color correction is needed but does work every time. Can brighten the tiniest amount as correction step.

Scott Douglas 02-16-2020 09:38 AM

Yeah, the color correction probably did the trick there Shaun. I wasn't going to try to change the picture, just the orientation.
Good job!
Taken any closeups lately?

Shaun @ Tru6 02-16-2020 09:41 AM

Unfortunately not. It's a Valentine's Day whole 3 days sort of affair. Trying to get some rest this afternoon.

I commute on sportbikes and am on the road at 5:30 am. I finally got heated gloves. They come with charger. They are great. Also got 32degree long underwear from costco. Not heated but you'll instantly know if you've forgotten to put them on when you head out. They fit under jeans great. I wear them all day.

I rotate pictures here for people every now and then. I just take a screen shot, rotate it, and post it. (I this case I cropped it and down sampled it too just to save bandwidth.)

I decided to buy the 12" cordless DeWalt.

Buy it: Te mereces lo mejor y lo tendrás.

Moved a lot of trees today:

Then, cleaning up the lines around the farm, the second of three loads of small wood, all cut on one charge on the 12" DeWalt. One handed!

I was completely satisfied with the beer and bacon-burger with blue cheese I had Sat. on a date.

Shaun @ Tru6 02-16-2020 02:04 PM

Bumping this thread up because I found a great product and son-of-a-gun, there's a great picture of Varmint's pooch. Hope he's doing great, post an update!

Anyway, I picked these up at Costco, about $13 for a six pack. Great bulbs, dimmable, old school lighting look (incandescent) and an answer to those fyking pigtail, heavy, wannabe BS light bulbs they have out now.

And they last 12 years or 15k hrs, whichever comes first.

Eastwood undercoating and frame paint.
Expensive, but seemed to work well after the user-error bugs were sorted out.

JBL LS305 mini studio monitor powered speakers. Clear, pretty bright sound; more bass than a speaker this small should have; suprisingly wide sweet spot; bass and treble trim switches; very flat response per tests online; $150/ea and often available for $100/ea.

I have a rechargeable one and two that run on AAA batteries. The rechargeable one always seems to run out of juice when I need it, and then it's out of service while it charges. I like the ones with replaceable batteries better. I keep 4 Eneloops on the charger all the time, so when the batteries in the lights run down I just swap them out and get back to work.

We bought a Pomeranian, this silly little thing is the best $650 ever spent. He is always a happy joy filled little fluff.

Bought a new belt for my dryer. The drum rolls again and my clothes are happy. However, I dropped a bolt out down the lint trap. Too lazy to open up the back of the dryer, but I'll get to it this week.

So far the new Taco is completely satisfactory.

Two more, side by side:

The LC has been perfect. 25k in two years.

The diesel Kubota ZT has cut mowing time by at least a 1/4...that and my wife and kids love to drive it.

On our second mowing season and it is flawless.

My wife's 2016 Subaru Outback limited. I talked her into after her having a Jeep Liberty for years. She needs the AWD/4WD to get into engineering job sites, and loves how much more smooth/quiet/efficient/stable it is on a daily basis....also a big fan of XM radio.

Bought a Speed Queen. I've used it once, and was and will be 100% happy because she loves it. Clothes take less time to wash, and come out much cleaner. It's very quiet too.

I'm 100% satisfied with my 2020 Ford, T350 passenger van with the Ecoboost V6. I took out the seats except for the ones behind the drive & passenger. It can haul anything up to 4x8 sheets of plywood, gets 19 to 22 mpg. & is quiet and comfortable. I have to say I'm a real fan of vans for utility, everyday driving, camping, and all around use.

My wife used the Porsche web site to "build" her dream Macan. We went to the dealer and they matched the USAA car buying price and it arrived a few months later. It is a 2017 model and she has loved it. It is a space ship compared to my antique 1980s cars.

Going to hit 170,000 miles today or tomorrow. Fantastic truck. Best if you could have only one vehicle ever built.

Shaun @ Tru6 08-16-2025 08:55 AM

this may seem like a silly addition to the thread but, dinner last night. We go out 2-3 times a week. Unless we go to our favorites, we are ALWAYS disappointed, even those places with good Trip Advisor and Yelp ratings. Went to a local pub last night and both our dinners were phenomenal and just as important, our server was fantastic. I am writing a long letter to the restaurant later today about how good he and the food was last night.

Mongolian Beef tacos, though Indian naan was used, and rightfully so with the big chunky strips of beef tucked inside them. NE hazy IPA was good too.
