    Window covering ideas? Insulation & blackout

    reflectix is a good product, but if you want better R value, I recommend hard foam with a reflective backing on it, like this. you could attach black fabric on the opposite side of the reflective material and face the black toward your windows for the stealth look. if your concerned about...

    Block heaters? Battery warmers? Oil pan heaters?

    I usually plug in my block heater on my delica when below 0c the night before work, but on my days off I don't bother unless I'm planning on going somewhere the next day. I don't really HAVE to plug it in at 0c, but it really eases the cold starts and is better for the engine. I plug it in every...

    i never did understand all the photographers out there that spend more time worrying about "histograms" than taking pictures... histograms? who cares? if its too dark, open up a stop, if too light, the reverse... think your light meter is not working properly? shoot a grey card and see what...

    what i'm really looking for is a single switch with two colored LEDs on the rocker. or a switch that changes color when in different positions. On-OFF-ON one blue for driving lights, and a yellow for fogs. why have 2 switches on your dash taking up valuable space, when 1 can do the same job?
