Good morning!!!!

Got $30 for April. Agent says probably same for May and June.

I have a HP PC notebook bought in 2014 with Windows 8. Converted it to 10 when came out. Still works good. But kind of slow. Desktop was bought last year. It is fast and very responsive. It replaced a windows 7 PC. It still work but is very slow. Have 2 iPads and 2 iPhones. The Apple products have served me well. Just like my PC’s. The industry that worked in used PC for programing controls. I need to buy PC’s so I can afford to buy the Apple pads and phones.

Anyone getting a refund or discount on their car insurance because the covids has resulted in less driving and claims? I read on my company's website they are doing that soon, but got my bill a couple of weeks ago (due mid-June) and didn't see anything, yet.

I just got my refund check for $179, and they are reducing rates.

Discovered 3 of these critters under my deck. Good thing I didn’t run the string trimmer.

Phil, great truck!

RNG, nice idea about that tool box. I need to go back and read your first post to see why you cut that piece off.

On the topic of laptops/phones, it sounds like you guys love the Apples, and they sound nice. When I bought my mom here first smart phone, I got her an Apple iphone. But I've always used Windows and Android stuff and been happy. I'm typing this on my PC, a laptop handed down to me from my son...bought January, 2010. Our phones are Samsung, bought in 2014. I finally had to buy a new battery for mine last year ($15), but my wife's still using her original one.

I supposedly am getting 30% off all three cars, retroactive to March, in next billing. (State Farm)

Got $25 last month and $25 this month from insurance. I wish they would just give credit on their next bill because now I have to drive to the bank for a small deposit.

I tried that a few years ago and the “backup” are just too wide angle. I’d like to find one that just shows my forks or bucket.

Three things I noted.
1 - the color contrast or lack thereof, possible paint something.
2- my angle. Possibly move camera forward a bit. It would no longer be under the canopy, but maybe doable.
3 - glare caused by sun. Maybe more a shade over the lense?

I can't find the pictures but .. mine was mounted on a strong magnet, with a sheet metal sun shield around it, and a fairly long umbilical attaching it to a 9" color monitor in the cab. I could stick it on top of my grill guard, top frame of forks, or top of my bucket.

My focus was for pallet forks and the wide angle camera just didn't help anything. I dropped the project but, should probably do the research, to see if better cameras are now available.

The right camera, up on the grill guard .. would also help lining up to SSQA attachments too.

I like the one with the DRO. That DRO makes it worth 3 times the $900 the first guy is asking. Plus it has the tooling. He might want a pretty penny for it. I would stay away from the CNC for layman's work. Many are powering them with variable frequency drives to provide the power and change the rpm. I would love to have on in my barn. I have 2 at work, plus 3 CNC mills at my beck and call. Many Taiwan mills are decent for the price. Not as good as original, but parts can be had usually.

Kyle,

Appreciate your insights ... thanks ! :thumbsup:

Yeah ... I've looked at a few others as well ... depending on what it is, and what comes with it, they aren't necessarily looking to give them away that's for sure.

I would think you'd definitely be a candidate for one in your barn ... although I have no idea as to what the used equipment market is like down there.

Up here there seems to still be a good bit of it out there ... even after all the out-sourcing and off-shoring of the last however many years ...
