    Cat S50 Milspec phones

    I believe the S5 is the best phone that Samsung has made. Dust/waterproof, replaceable battery, and micro-SD card. A good case like and Otter will protect from most abuse.

    Galion 150 Refurbish

    Wood shavings, by the handfull, can be used as an abrasive and absorbent material to remove paint stripper. For those areas that a scraper can't get to, just grab a handfull of wood shavings and rub.

    Galion 150 Refurbish

    Yeah, that is definitely a wet paint stripper technique. Works very well for furniture. You can wrap a hand full of wood shavings around a dowel or other shape that would be VERY frustrating with any type of brush. You never know, you may yet run into a an odd shape where this will come in handy.

    Galion 150 Refurbish

    One thing you can use to help get the stripper off is cedar shavings like is used for rabbit bedding. Some people use shavings from a planer. Just grab the bedding material by the handful and rub. It is absorbent and abrasive. It will get into places you can't get to easily any other way.

    Galion 150 Refurbish

    You can use wood shavings to help get the stripper off and to get into odd shaped places. Jointer shavings or pine bedding for small animals works great. Just grab it by the handfull and rub into the stripper. Absorbs the stripper and is abrasive.

    StumpJumper83, you can tell from my handle that I grew up right there with you. Yesterday I read the travel bans and it said 219 was open but there were no open exits! I saw a great picture of National Guard doing something that only they can do... Provide fuel and lube to the front end...

    Cat 235 hydraulic leak...what is it?

    If you are using a real camera (not a phone), even a point-and-shoot -- it may have a macro mode which would allow you to get much better close-up pictures. There is often a picture of a flower in the menu setting for the macro mode.

    How Did The Dozer Get To The Other Side Of The Road

    That would put you crossing 59 heading to Smethport from the airport... As you can tell from my handle, I know McKean Co ... BUT, I did cheat and look at Google maps to see just what was at the "center" of the county.

    All in a days (or two) work pictures

    Your camera may have an "orientation sensor" which puts some extra data in the JPG file to tell software how to rotate it so that "up is up". It may look correct in your viewing software, but if you look at the pictures in Windows explorer they might be rotated. If you fix them in Windows...
