So far, so good!

I purchased this motherboard as a replacement for my son’s pc. So far, so good! I had no trouble installing it and though there is some slowness when booting up and shutting down, but that may be my son’s hard drive, not sure yet. But, if anyone is looking for a replacement motherboard, this is the one. Again, no troubles installing and pc booted right up.

Does the job

This drive is exactly as advertised. It is a bare drive, no cables or mounting gear included (although you probably don’t need either). It does not include instructions either; so you should know what you are doing if you are buying this hardware. It is an excellent choice for an older computer.

Dual Cassette Tape Fits Sony system nicely

I held off getting a new cassete deck until my old one (A BIC single deck bought in 1979!) So I wanted something that I could record from tape to tape, and that might communcate with my Sony DA4ES receiver based system. This does both.But the synchro redording feature does not seem to work. The tape deck WILL put the CD player into play pause mode, so I know they’re communicating, but the signal to start the process (press pause on the tape deck) is apparently being ignored.Maybe I’ll solve this problem later, but for now, its nice to listen to my old tapes and regain the ability to dub tapes. I;m just shy of being comletely happy with it.

Excellent melamine blade

I’ve been using this blade for double-sided melamine sheet goods. When new, it cuts with no chipping on either side. After 20 4×8 sheets it was chipping a tiny bit on the back side, so I had it resharpened - better than new. Always a perfect cut on the top side. Occasional superficial chipping (more like minor nicks) on the back side as the blade wears, but I think it’s as good as can be had without a scoring blade. Once edgebanding is applied and the edge is eased with a pass of sandpaper, it’s not noticeable unless you go looking for it.

TriSquare TSX-100 eXRS review

In comparison tests, the Tri-Square radios have generally held up favorably. The audio is a bit fuzzy compared to the Motorola radios and the overall range seems to be a bit longer than the Motorolas, except when the Tri-Square radios dip below the horizon. The 900 MHz frequency range is, as one would expect, somewhat more linear and subject to line-of-sight limitations than the 460 MHz FRS radios. The analog FRS radios will maintain a stronger signal connection under less optimal line-of-sight conditions than will the Tri-Square units. A better antenna and/or a bit more power might ensure the accuracy of Tri-Square’s claim that its eXRS radios will exceed the range of FRS radios under comparable conditions.

Great Kayak Carrier

I have a Thule Roof Rack on my ‘08 CR-V and this Kayak carrier fits on it quickly and securely. As far as the kayak, I have a 13′ Necky Manitou and it seats very well in the J-hooks. The supplied straps for each J-hook and the two ratcheting straps for either end of the boat really help to secure it down.

There is virtually no movement when traveling over bumps and >70 mph on the highway. In fact, it moves far less than my bikes do when they are on the roof rack. Getting the boat off is a breeze too (assuming it’s light enough and your car isn’t too tall for you). You unlatch the 4 straps and lift the boat right off, takes all of 45 seconds.

As far as wind noise of the J-hooks when you DON’T have a kayak on the roof - you don’t even need to worry about it. Each J-hook fits on top of the rack and a plate swings underneath the roof rack and gets screwed to the J-hook via a thumb screw. And that is the beauty of it… when the kayak isn’t on the roof, you undo one thumbscrew, swing the plate around, take the whole J-hook off and toss it in your car/truck. Saves on gas mileage and noise. Putting it back on takes 1 minute. The whole installation and removal of the J-hooks is so fast that getting the more expensive 835PRO with the fold-down J-hooks almost seems useless. Why fold it down and have someone steal it right off your car (these do not have thule locks or any lock for that matter) when you can just take it off in 20 seconds and lock it in your vehicle!

For those worried about locking the kayak to protect from theft while transporting, I have seen specific “Kayak Locks” made for J-hook style carriers that wrap around the kayak and roof rack (which I’m assuming the roof rack is locked to your roof…it should be!). They fit snugly too so you can’t lift anything off the rack to get at the J-hooks. They are around $50 or so but they keep your $1000+ investment secure!
