A few folks here have some intimate knowledge of kayaks. I'm looking specifically for a longer-waterline moderate-beam sea/touring-kayak sit-on-top tandem kayak, preferably with skeg. Can anyone suggest a few models?

So today with my 3yo son in the bow of a sit-on-top sea kayak, we're going through basically a swamp at high tide watching these amazingly large birds in the treetops. Alligator-Ho! A big old guy maybe 6-7 feet looks right at us mouth ajar and slides into the channel, couldn't have been more...

I read often people complaining about JPEG color depth. JPEG sure is nice to keep files on the web small and lossily compressed, but why do people feel they must publish JPEG? At the expense of size (in the majority of cases) can one not just as easily post PNG (for instance) files which can...

Today was the first day ever I looked at my 80 and had a hesitation in looking at her. She's aged. Though underneath she's the same gal she ever was and feisty as ever, her style speaks of a past era. Not an era bygone necessarily, rather one that bred depth of character and capability at...

I don't want to hear about any pre-made software here, I'm curious as to the algorithm in order to combine multiple various-exposed pictures together to yield an HDR image. Can anyone speak to the basic processing under the scenes? I have been playing around with logically adding, subtracting...

No glaikit and grotty coffee or cup of septic tank joe here please. Let's talk char after you pass that Grey Poupon please. Tom tit, ye just ran out of both bagged and loose leaves. The question, what can be used locally? Do you brew/have you brewed? Mormon tea Dried mesquite leaves Pine...

What is it? The 2F, the unburnt noxious fumes emanating from the vents, or the cracking vinyl seats that gives a 40 series an undeniable smell? Nonetheless it is the smell of adventure and one I'll never forget, especially now that I've been reminded. The 55 and 60 had a different smell to...

For troopy seating, what form of seating would you choose? Please feel free to reply with another option and why. Opt1 Basic what you'd expect Opt2 Minivanish with two seats in the 3rd row. Opt3 Eurovanish gives a little more room aft. Opt4 You seriously think I should bolt the...

Considering one, but have very little knowledge (other than Toyota OEM which I'm considering) about "aftermarket" ones in general. How are they rated, by gear reduction or by shear pin? What are recommended manufacturers? Is the drive flange a standard or must be customized? Do they mount into...

I have a few dozen mediocre options in front of me. I need your out-of-the-box ExPo style thinking that is: Original & Creative For the most part, all OEM Toyota This is for child seats (real solutions needed) To solve: How to get 3 seats in the back of a Troopy with 41" between wheel...

I just met the globetour.fr family. Looks like they're heading down into Mexico in their very nice Rover. They were pulling a popup trailer behind them and had no compliants about the extra space. Props to them to make such a journey with 3 teenagers. They appeared to be doing it in style...

So...I'll admit to cheating a little while camping. I've pulled into an RV park or two in my travels. I won't pay more than $10. I find it akin to mooring your boat instead of anchoring overnight. Now granted I try and find a mooring when and where the grog is best (resetting anchor in the...

Y'all might think I'm crazy but I've always carried a jar of old honey around with me for applying on small cuts and wounds. My grandfather (rest his soul) who mined a gravel pit and was a wood worker and cut himself often learned from WWI and WWII (though goes back thousands of years) to apply...

Would anyone be interested in sharing with me a copy of a large/long trip you've been on and stored your track and waypoints in your GPS system? I'd be happy to have any format that you regularly use. I am writing an lon/lat interpolation compression algorithm and though I can simulate data...

I have a brand-new in-plastic set of tan SOR LC80 seat covers new style custom fit for 1st and 2nd row seats + headrests. You can view the list and pricing here: http://www.sor.com/sor/cat309g.tam?xax=17259 I was going to send them back for SOR credit for something else, but if interested in...

There's a few folks here who like their cup of joe?:coffee: http://hardware.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/12/12/0337259

I am being forced to a new carrier and have a used-thrice Sierra Wireless AirCard 595 PCMCIA EVDO RevA card, protective plastic still on. I prefer PCMCIA cards as they are more stable in the vehicle I've found vs. USB dongles. Also, this has attachments for external antennas that was very...

I have FJ40 and FJ62 alternators. Both worked fine against my 2F and 3FE: $25 and $75 obo respectively.

I've got an OBDII-to-USB scanner. $25 and I'll cover shipping? :) It includes OBDII and USB cable of course. It is an ELM327 (v1.2a) chipset knockoff. You can use dozens of software to get OBDII diagnostics information and reset MIL codes, &c. I've used it with several software progs. For...
