    Problem with Garmin 12 - Vert nav cancelled/Bad EPE

    So, this unit worked fine up until a few weeks ago. I hadnt turned it on since CA, so I knew it would take a bit. After sitting for about 15 minutes, I came back and it said: "Not useable EPE" on the sat. aquiring page, and: "Vertical Navigation Cancelled" on the message page. I've found...

    Panoramic Shots

    I really dig some of the panoramic shots that have popped up in random threads. Off the top of my head, I know Mr. Slade has a few, and I'm willing to bet Mr. Photog does as well. So, lets share our panoramic shots we've taken. I'll start; this is 6 shots from today of the San Francisco Peaks:

    I'm looking for some different tires for the GWB, and have come across a decent deal on a set of Goodyear MT/Rs. I'm curious for those that have had these tires, how have they done in the snow and wet weather conditions? What kind of vehicle did you have them on? Did you have them siped...

While they are not made of a fancy hardwood, nor encased in hand sewn canvas bags, they are self enclosed, rugged, and period correct(if you participate...

    Portable Propane Grill

    Well, our cheapie $20 propane grill finally bit the dust. After about 8 years of use, it just didnt like the new salty air in CA and rusted apart, so we are in the market for a new one.
