    Captain's Mass

    A recent post asking about how one obtains rank got me to thinking about a topic. Seems like we should have a system of demotion as well as promotion. A old fashioned "Captain's Mass" if you will. :rolleyes: <br /><br />When one gets out of line one is punished for the sake of behavorial...

    VHS to DVD

    I searched back through old post to see if we'd ever discussed how to convert vhs tapes to dvd. I saw only one post by Schematic, Oct. '03, talking about 3:2 pulldown. But I'm not interested in converting 8mm films to dvd -- only vhs to dvd. I have home videos and a collection of purchased...

    PowerPoint question

    When one receives a powerpoint attachment to an email and they click on it -- some of the presentations open directly into the slide show. Others open in the PowerPoint program (with toolbars) and you have to manually "start" the slide show.<br /><br />I've built a slide show and have hit a...

    Little Red X

    ¿Does anyone know why we sometimes receive a white block with a little red x rather than a picture? Folks often try to post/attach a photo/picture/etc., and all we get is the "little red X". ¿What is the technical reason?

    Schematic. Take a bow...

    Schematic. Once again I have benefited from your advice. <br /><br />I too had been having trouble with my CD Burner. I had been using Creative Plus as the software and reading the post "CDR's that won't burn" you advised looking at NERO's software. I went to their web site, downloaded the...

    scents/attractants

    I just bought a new bottle of fish scent to spray on my vinyl lures. As it is winter I got something for Walleye (Zander or Pikeperch here in Europe) and Pike.<br /><br />Sprayed a couple of squirts into the bag of vinyl grubs and the stuff smelled like a hundred-thousand dead crawfish. <br...

    ¿¿WD-40??

    Kiwi and Crabbait mentioned WD-40 on the "fishing" thread. I've heard folks swear that it works as a fish attractant althought I haven't tried it. <br /><br />But it brought to mind an occasion when I was a young electrican apprentice back around 1971 and I forgot to wear deoderant to work one...

    First Impressions

    I want to quote Neil Eskelin...<br /><br />When we shake hands it's a natural friendly gesture. However, the custom originated in the Middle Ages. When two men met they extended their right arms and shook hands to show they <br /> did not intend to use their swords. It was a display of...

    ¿How do you look at it?

    ¿Best fishing lie ever told?

    I'd never want to be known as one who would question the integrity of a fellow fishermen; however, I'm curious to know if you've ever heard a fisherman tell a lie. <br /><br />If so, what's the best fishing lie you've ever heard. :confused: ;)

    Rod Racks

    I saw a great idea for rod racks in this month's issue of the "Florida Sportsman" magazine. <br /><br />The author had installed 2 or 2 1/2 inch PVC pipes horizontally along the interior sides of his aluminum boat. Prior to installation, he had used a propane torch to heat the ends of the PVC...

    ¿Which fish finder?

    This is my first posting. Having read many of your comments seems like I know you’re the right folks to ask for advice… Years ago I used an Eagle Z-100 but haven’t used a fish finder "lately". Having moved from Florida to Madrid, Spain I’m buying and outfitting a new Tracker Grizzly...
