    We have owned a Fujitsu Lifebook for over a year and many thousands of miles off pavement with it, inadventent jumps and lots and lots of very bad roads. It has never failed us . It has a shock proof hard drive that is really shock proof. another .02cs

    Silly question, but do you hold the power button in for 3 seconds? It will then turn off.

    Multi Purpose GPS - Too Many Choices

    3 1/2 years ago, we wanted to get our son a GPS, since he was moving cross country and would be in a new area. We shopped until our head hurt and ended up getting him a Garmin 76CSx. He didn't want it so we ended up with it. A GREAT unit. It's water resistant, can drop it in a stream, lake and...

    What is it about your truck that you like so much?

    It's only a little over 2 years old, not paid off, and wouldn't get rid of it for most anything. It's a great ride on the pavement, but that's not where we like to drive it. Along the Flint Trail in The Maze: It has an aux. fuel tank that gives us a range of 400+ miles off pavement. Pretty...

    GPS- What are you using?

    We use the Garmin 76CSx - it does everything we need of it. Plug in an address and it will get you there. No talking but beeps tell you when new instructions appear on the screen. Also great for hiking. It's water resistent, I know you can drop it into water, but don't know how deep it can go...

    New Color Tacomas? "Pyrite Mica"

    Being color blind, when the FJ's came out, I had to get the "Sun Fusion". I can definitely see that this is yellow. BTW, this is heavily pin striped and you can't really see them. Love the color. Zebra stripes would work also. My wife thinks the Pyrite Mica is a French grey. I had a...

    4 Days near Moab

    All I see are Photobucket logos and something about exceeding bandwidth. Is it me? or something else?

    Ham radio instructions...

    I would be all over this if we were going to be in town. We are heading to The Maze Friday morning. I have yet to send a real message. I did a simplex call when a friend of mine who helped me out. The problem is that I have it installed in my expedition vehicle that is not my DD. I drive it...

    Ham radio instructions...

    I think I have 1 repeater programmed in, but not real sure. Yesterday I did hear someone signing off the repeater. (I think that's what he was doing cause there were no more transmissions) Today should be the day to actually say something. A fellow at work is coming over today to help me out...

    Ham radio instructions...

    Just got my license - KF7FHU - installed a Yeasu FT 8800 in the truck and started on the instructions. Not bad, it tells me how to operate each button and that stuff. But what it neglects, and it is not just these instructions but instructions in general for electronics, is to have a whole...

    SPOT Current User Promo?

    I received an e-mail promo from them about a month ago with the big announcement of an upgrade. The ad had a picture which showed a few more buttons. There was no info and it was the "coming in a couple of months" thing. BTW, if think SPOT is great for what it is suppose to do.

    Utah: The Maze District - A Family Affair

    THANKS all for the report and incredible photos. The children are really cute. We have 4 days off at the end of this month and are headed there. Only 2 days for exploring but at least we get a taste of it. We are going no matter the weather, if it's bad we'll find someplace else to explore...

    Utah: The Maze District - A Family Affair

    We would like to go Oct. 30-Nov. 2, but were wondering if that would be too late in the year (weather-wise). NPS info says to have chains for all 4 wheels and Flint trail is slippery when wet. How accurate are they? My wife is thinking of backing out since she read their website.
