There were 6 people that were lost, 2 others were rescued. Fortunately either the pilot or the captained radioed the bridge and all vehicle traffic was stopped. My condolences to you for traveling on the Belt Pkwy. Hope you have lots of toll money. LOL!

I just received a P600 with a clogged print head. I bought some empty refillable carts, and will try clean it with Piezo Flush. If it works, I will buy some more refillable, and order Precision Colors ink. Hope I get luck, otherwise, I spent about $150 for nothing. That includes the Ink Potty for waste ink.

What the web says: The 200MP sensor can take good photos in both broad daylight and low light. Photos in normal mode have captured most details and if you turn on Night Mode, the images will be on the brighter side.

For $1200 - I'll pass.


I bought one but have not used it yet. I did not buy it for only the camera.

I had one from VW, with zero deductible. They paid for a long block, and numerous other repairs. My local repair shop has had terrible experiences with Car Shield. One of their customers had $3,600 repair that they only paid $600.

My brother sold car warranty insurance for about a year. He couldn't keep anyone happy. If he ruled for the customer, the insurance company would be pissed. And he ruled against the customer, they would be pissed. Anyone with a tow hitch or snow plow, their claims would be denied. He got out of it and sold high performance boat insurance and made an excellent living.

They put speed bumps on our subdivision main road. Just to add insult to injury, they put poles on the side of them so you can't go around them. A royal PITA!

My brother ordered a 2023 convertible. With all of the extras, it came in a hair under 100K. This is from the dealer that sells 1200 per year. I wouldn't mind having his 2014. Only has 15,000 miles. Nice to have a bucket list at 85!

Folks often discuss where cameras, lenses, etc, come from.

Few ask where the parts came from.

Auto plants now are mostly assembly plants using parts from all over. The same plant can make parts for different brands. At one point, maybe still true, the Toyota Camry had more US made parts than any US brand. My Acura window sticker claims 65% of parts are from US and Canada. It's a Japanese brand. Go figure!

Several years ago there was a $70,000 Cadillac on the dealer's lot. I looked at the sticker and 69% of the parts were made in China! So much for American cars. That's the reward for bailing out GM!

Hi Frank,

Happy Easter.

Would you be willing to ship the printer to me if I paid for the shipping?
I live in Richmond VA 23233.

Thank you.

Harold

Those fools spent a lot of money changing everything. And these are supposed to be the brightest in the country!

Bought it, tried it, don't really like it because:
1. The controls are moved around, and old muscle memory is unhappy when using it.
2. They use a lot of battery power because to just look through them to spot subjects they have to be on, and they don't have or don't like carrying around batteries.
3. They found that aside from being mirrorless and a bit smaller and lighter, the pictures are not spectacularly better than their DSLR bodies, so not really worth it to them to relearn the controls and stock up on batteries.
4. Furthermore, they need to buy new lenses because using them with the old lenses + adapter wipes out most of the smaller/lighter thing. And those new lenses are $$$$.

I have 1 full frame DSLR (5Div), 3 crop sensor DSLRs (7Dii, 80D, 90D) with a pile of EF/EF-s lenses and an R7 with 1 RF lens and one RF-s lenses plus adapter and 1.4x extender. I am making the effort to learn the new camera, but actually my new Sony RX10iv is getting a lot of my time as it is so handy to take just-in-case. If I plan on a trip to do the birds at the Riverwalk then I will haul out the R7 with 100-400 + extender or the DSLR of choice with the Tamron 150-600 G2 and extenders. And at 77 last month, I may consider hiring a lineman from the high school team to act as "gun bearer". A couple of bucks, a stop at the fast food joint and maybe some free photography lessons (I taught basic photography a bit on the side when I was still teaching history, geography and government.) and maybe the loan of a camera now and then should get me a good strong one fairly cheap. Besides, he can double as my bodyguard to prevent some #$@&% from mugging me for my wallet and that expensive photo gear.

I love your great sense of humor! It all makes sense to me being 78.

I also have a Pro 100, and a spare. Jose Rodriguez, the printing guru has one that is 9 years old with the original head. He recently installed a CISS system from Ink Products. and it appears to be working well. The results are beautiful.

I had a DC-4800. If I remember correctly it was one of, if not, the best at the time. My very first digital camera.


I had one too, until someone stole it from my office. I think that it was one of the Realtor's assistant, but could not prove it. It had a decent wide angle ens. Paid about $900 for it.

They used to race them on the Hudson River. The race would start in Albany and finish in NYC. They pounded your body very badly.

It's 4th of July! If you are from Bradley Beach, NJ (as I am), you ate hot dogs at least once a week, probably more, in the summertime. Down on Ocean Ave., there were two places to buy a hot dog. One was, Mike & Lou's - the first one. There, one could get a perfectly cooked hot dog (with spilts) from grilling when it was done. Mike & Lou's used Schickhaus hot dogs and put it on a slightly toasted hot dog roll. Mustard, sauerkraut, hot or sweet relish were in "self help' vessels. I think it was $.25. Mike & Lou's opened on Memorial Day. You can bet I had one on Memorial Day and many days after as the summer progressed.

In the early 50's, a new hot dog place opened. The owner was a man named "Syd" who had a famous hot dog stand in the Weequahic, section of Newark, NJ. Now Syd only had kosher hotdogs (probably Hebrew National or Reinfeld) and he boiled them to perfection. He decided to open a 2nd stand in Bradley Beach and of course named it Syd's. If one wanted a hot dog with "stuff on it", you ordered it sweet, hot, mustard only, mustard-kraut, sweet works or hot works. Only Syd could put on the "stuff".
So, as a teenager, one hung out at Mike & Lou's or Syd's, depending on how you liked your hotdog. It was very ritualistic with loyalty to one or the other. And just as the constant argument of which is better, Canon or Nikon cameras, the argument went on all summer of which hot dog was better.
So, my wife & I are having a Mike & Lou's hot dog this evening for super. Yummy!! Can't wait!! Yup, I griddle them, have sauerkraut, relish and rolls all ready. Hurray dinner!

Rutt's Hut in Clifton has the rippers. I believe that they are Schickhaus. I think that they are boiled and deep fried.
Also in Edgewater, there was a small restaurant in the marina where I kept my boat called the Captain's Roost that made them the same way. It was only open from April till September. The owner was from Passaic, so he knew about Rutt's Hut and probably copied them. They were delicious. In Ft. Lee, we had Callahan's and Hirams that were across the street from each other. Hirams is still there. Callahans became condos. Great memories from all of them.
