    The shoe fits but what caused the blister?

    Pedro, these boots do not have a removeable insert which is what I think you mean when you say "Footbed, (top and bottom) out of the boot." Photos are not usually workable for me anyway. Re: Gore Tex. Unfortunately, Danner does not make this model without it. My next purchase will not have...

    The shoe fits but what caused the blister?

    Thanks Flounder, I'll get a pair of Smartwool. Moisture sounds like the evil culprit. My boots have Gore Tex lining...would rather have them without the fancy cold weather lining for hiking around Tucson to let the boot breathe. What would you recommend as a material for a liner sock? I'll...

    The shoe fits but what caused the blister?

    I love ExPo. Lots of good suggestions in short order! I was wearing one pair of thick socks--I think they are wool. I will try the thin synthetic (or silk) liner sock with a thicker outer. Then maybe some sort of insole. Summit Hut here I come. Giving the feet a rest for now. :smilies27...

    The shoe fits but what caused the blister?

    I know we have at least one expert shoe fitter on here... I recently purchased a pair of Danner Hiker Light II hiking boots. Size 13 since they don't make 1/2 sizes after 12. Width B. They fit like a glove. Feel better than any thing else I've had (I haven't splurged before on quality...

    Toyota now

    (linked article is to Ford Crown Vics catching fire) Still happens? The news article you linked to is 8 years old! But yes, many Crown Vics caught fire upon being rear-ended at 75 mph. It wasn't Toyotas catching fire because Crown Vics are/were 85% of the police vehicle market, not Toyota...

    Mac vs. PC for image editing

    Thanks, nwoods, for the thoughtful post. I went to the Apple store. It was so busy it was hard to move around, and loud with all the chatter. Unfortunately, I think I knew a bit more about the product than the sales gal that greeted me. I did like the fact that they could be had with a matte...

    Mac vs. PC for image editing

    I like automotive analogies. I tend to put a lot of life's issues into automotive terms. Yesterday I thought maybe Mac's are the diesel engine, while PC's are gas engines. Diesels cost more upfront, but will run longer & harder and be cheaper in the long run. But relatively few people are...

    Cool Gigapixel shot taken with Canon G10

    I saw that image a while back while surfing the Gigapan website. I think that image had the most views of all of them. Gigapans are loads of fun.

    Mac vs. PC for image editing

    Alright, that seals the deal right there. LOL. Seriously, lots of great posts I'm learning from here, so keep 'em coming. Brad, PM sent. Thanks

    Mac vs. PC for image editing

    Thanks Brad. I forgot to mention HDR imaging. That would be important to me. So is Lightroom an add on to Photoshop (PS)? I was thinking it was a "light" version of PS. I guess I need a quick rundown of what the different PS pieces are. Any links?

    Mac vs. PC for image editing

    Pardon my ignorance, but I have not kept up with the latest/greatest when it comes to computers and software. Surfing for answers makes my head spin due to all the trademarked names talked about that I have no idea what they are best at or capable of, or even if they would apply to my needs. I...

    Several questions about Ram 2500/3500 Cummins...

    Truck weighs ~7400, GVW is 9900, so payload would be ~2500. This is with the NV5600...heavier than the auto. And I can't remember if that weight was with the fiberglass tonneau cover on or not. So your payload may be a couple hundred higher.

    Yes, good book. Rocinante means "old horse".

    It would make a great budget-build for a Sportsmobile!

    Seattle to Death Valley

    Thanks, Brian. I just looked at this thread on my home computer, and the pics look like they should. :) (I try not to look at photo-intensive threads at home--I'm on dial-up!) I guess on the other computer they did not spring for the deluxe graphics card.

    loaded gun in the glovebox?

    The context of my post was "when you are a law abiding citizen, not suspected of any sort of crime". Meaning, no probable cause would exist for a cop to suspect you have a gun in the car.

    Seattle to Death Valley

    Beautiful shots, Brian. I love DV and your shots capture the essence of it well. I do have a technical question, though. In some of the shots (not just yours, but I'll use yours as a convenient example) I see "pixelated" striations in the sky, such as seen in the fourth photo in post #54 or...

    loaded gun in the glovebox?

    It's not just lying to a Federal agent that can get you into legal trouble. Here in Arizona, and I'd guess all other states, it's illegal to lie to a state or municipal police officer. (ARS 13-2907.01) Some posts have jumped on FAW3 for his thoughts/procedures. Reading between the lines, I...

    This is a SCAM: 2001 4Runner 4x4 77K miles $4K

    I just sent an email to Craigslist to notify them. I see in many of the locations it's already been flagged for removal, but is still running in many others.
