I have a job coming up in San Francisco that me and Fishadow could use some help with.  I'm an electrical contractor but work with a Cisco partner and so we end up doing a lot of data work.  We're getting ready to do a whole new cat6 and fiber optic infrastructure in a private school in San Francisco.  It's 4 floors, and we'll be running 2" conduit throughout and pulling tons of cable and terminating devices.  You don't need to be a licensed electrician and don't need experience.  We just need a pair of hands and a strong work ethic.  It should last at least a month and could turn into more work in the future if it works out.  PM me if you're interested. 

I never thought I'd be into the camper thing.  I always sleep in the truck and that's fine with me.  But my wife's been hinting at doing some longer trips AND bringing the dogs with, so I'm in the market for a little pop up camper.  I'm fairly handy, so if it needs some work, I can dig it.  If you or anyone you know is looking to upgrade or sell, keep an eye out for a brother,  thanks! 

While I am a ManBearPig, Im certainly no Phot-HOG and I'm  getting interested in higher quality photography than my little waterproof point and shoots can provide.  The next step for some good outdoor pics seem to be a dslr camera, but where to start??  It seems like canon and Nikon are fairly reasonably priced and well respected but what say you, NCKA?  I'm interested in mostly outdoor and wildlife photos.   

Now that I've got a revo,   I've been doing more research on hobies, and re-looking up Rudy halibu77's old videos of his revo.  I want to make a bootleg AI the way he did, build my own ama's and get some trampolines.  Has anyone tried this and what do you think is the best way to build an ama? Foam, plastic? Should I use pvc for the rigging to get some flexibility, or is it too flimsy?  I was thinking 1 1/4" schedule 80 for the framework to connect to the ama, but have no clue how to build the ama itself. I know someone on here has had to of thought about this before, I can't be the only one I need to sail baby!

Ive recently started keeping and eating more fish, as I want to live a healthier lifestyle, and my wife cant get enough....fish that is   Naturally Ive decided to step up my processing game, and recently bought a nice Dexter fillet knife, inspired by O2b and his taliban fillet sword.  What type of knives do you use, and what do you reccomend?

I have a k-bar marine knife, and for the life of me I cant get a good edge on it.  It isn't dull by any means, but I cant get that super fine edge on it.  The blade is so thick, I cant seem to figure out the degree of angle, everything I try either seems too steep of an angle, or too shallow.  How do you stay sharp?  Files, wet stones, oil stones, ceramic,  leather?  What's your technique?  Most of us use knives in our daily life and especially in fishing and hunting, I'd like to know your secrets!!!!

About 10:00 last night I hear a noise outside, the dogs bark and I peek out of the kitchen window. Two shady dudes messing with their car, definately shady, but a regular occurance here in East Oakland, and nothing to get worried about.  I watch them for a few minutes and cant figure out what they're up to. The hoods up and the ignition is switching on and off, there playin with the center console and I remember saying to myself, "That car is gonna blow up!" 

Fast forward to 2 am, I hear my dogs bark and I wake up, they stop and I dont think much of it, as its a regular occurance and if I jumped up with my 40 cal at every little noise I hear I would never get any sleep Then A looooonnnnnngggggg car horn and I jump up to yell at the punks, and notice an orange light coming through my kitchen window, then realizing it feels kind of warm i look out, and the F$*#*NG car is on fire, BIG FIRE   This is the third time its happened at that same spot, I just watched it for a minute but it started getting BIG FAST, and windows were popping all over the place. Then the trees and bushes started to catch and I grabbed the hose and called 911!!!!

Im very happy with OPD, they were there in 5 min, and did a great job. It was a big fire and it took them 20 minutes to get the car fire out.  THE COPS NEVER CAME!!! I dont know why they blew that car up, but im sure they did something shady in it and had to burn the evidence.
Sorry for the long post, It's been a long day and got to get it off my chest....
 

Alright fellas, I really want to preserve some fish skeletons of different species for display.  Ive always been into biology and such, and think it would be a cool project.  But when I search online, I only find the masters degree explanation.  Can anyone break it down and give me the Junior college explanation on the process. Any materials I might need?  So far I have read that there are certain bugs that will eat the meat but leave the bone intact.  I have also read about boiling, but im worried that will turn the bones into a gelatonous mess. How do i get started???
