This for your garage or the gun shop?

Garage.

I am currently working on the guns, just not the firearm kind.

 

With dickhead in office FFL's are 8-10 months out.

Looks like a Walbro carb. Honestly there is not much to these little 2 stroke carbs. I wouldn't be afraid to buy the $9 unit. You can generally grab one brand new, rebadged, from the component manufacturer for $20. You know they mark it up before they sell it, too.

That is what I figured.  It is a Walbro which I would assume is made in China at exactly the same plant.

I bought one of those from Sears for a weed wacker 2 years ago for $12. They can be a bugger to rebuild and get working. Not sure if you already checked there.

I was just going to rebuild it, 99% sure it is the diaphragm pump...but when the rebuild parts cost more than a full carb it seemed sort of pointless.

Don't want to get rained out tonight.

[dem beats 1,223]

My stress level....

Anyone have tips for managing stress that don't include food, working out, or sex?

[dem beats 1,223]

I tried drugs and alcohol.  That works too well.

Costco has the 3300 New with a ton of free shit for $499.

 

Maybe sell both kit lenses for $50 and then get some dope lenses. Shit the deal on the 70D Canon and Nikon D7200 is good 

 

Photokina must be around the corner... Lol

[///M5 2,833]

70d deal isn't really so special.  I think the week it was released I paid $899 which means $100 for each of those lenses and a free shitty bag.  I'd just buy the body...

[///M5 2,833]

If you want a zoom, this: http://www.adorama.com/ca1755u.html and a 40d would be hard to beat for $950

[///M5 2,833]

Probably the cheapest zoom solution I could recommend in the Canon line.  Pretty sure the Nikon price point will be similar.

[///M5 2,833]

err, wrong.  Nikkor 17-55 2.8 is $1500.  Yikes.  Fuck that.  I'd want L glass for that price. 

[///M5 2,833]

The Sigma 17-50 2.8 actually got pretty reasonable reviews for $400 or so IIRC.  That could also be a zoom solution with a 40d...and if you HAD to have ZOOM and spend under $700 would be the choice.

Is that really a zoom?

Found a used 5200 for $250. Looking for decent glass.

Awesome work on your car sir.

Merci

Peaked at the nikkor glass...they are really proud of their crop glass.  Holy hell $$

"sometimes you want to scream your head off and a coaster is the only place people won't look at you funny"

I love that show.

 

If you haven't started watching The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, boy are you in for a treat.

Decent tripods for under $100?

1/4" mount, 50+" high

[MKader17 332]

Anyone ever researched a cell phone mount for a bike?

 

[MKader17 332]

Safest option seems to be a custom mount where I affix my own mount to a case. I really don't want to pop it in and out of a case to put it on the bike, but maybe I should be more concerned about it not getting broken.

Any non-prime is a zoom, lol.  Not a telephoto
