For those who had a clear sky this morning, am I the only one that thought it was an unusually bright sunrise? Or is it just the effects of a long winter? I walked out the back door that faces the east just as the sun cleared the hill and holy cow, it was so bright it hurt my eyes, I was letting the dogs out and even they reacted.
Dunno. Overslept the sunrise. :oops:

It was so bright I had to manually reset the brightness setting on the security camera's, I thought they were stuck on the night time settings, I had to drop the brightness to the lowest setting on each camera, that's what prompted me to walk out the back door and that a look. Now that the sun is higher in the sky it's not as blinding but even now, with the camera's still on the lowest brightness setting the picture still looks normal, strange.

IDK about this morning in particular, but over the passed few years I have been noticing the Sun seems Stronger! I have worked out doors my whole life, now it's like getting a sun burn is way to easy! It must be the ozone layer getting thinner? Letting in more/ stronger UV rays?

I'v been reading about all the "Bad" weather you's have been getting :(
Up here it's been sunny days for weeks now, a little on the cold side but not Bad.
Suppose to warm up next week, can't wait it's been a long cold winter!

Sitting down, facing forward.
Probably just the changing angle versus time as the seasons change, Willie. Seemed pretty normal here and my cameras switched over normally. Sunspot activity, an indicator of solar output, is kind of low so I don't think it's getting brighter than normal. Even if the sunspots were up, you couldn't see the difference in output without some sensitive gear.

Steamer, hate to mention this but as the years go by you get older and "things" change :lol: Trust me, been there, done that.

There's two ages, one is the body your stuck in and the other is the mind, or as they say, young at heart. By age I'm not really "old" but my body feels that way. I was hard on my body in my younger years, played and worked hard, accidents and poor health over the years leaves me with a body twenty years older then my actual age. But in my mind I still think as if I'm 30, sometimes I act like I'm 12, ask my wife... My mind is starting to show some age effects, forgetting things now and then that I didn't use too, but I still feel young in my mind. It's tough to look in the mirror first thing in the morning, "Who is that old fart looking back at me?"

If you can stay young at heart, you'll be better off then caving to age and acting old, like I've seen some aged folks do, fight it, stay young at heart. My :2c:

60 is the new 40! I still got a few years to even reach there!
So technically I'm still 30 some thing :D

Anyone else who uses Amazon Prime get "Courtesy Credit" discounts on stuff marked Prime? This is the third time in the last couple weeks I've gotten big discounts showing once I get to the checkout page, screen shot below. I'm not going to complain :) Just can't figure out why I get these?

Last fall I got my haul trailer to close to a pole when going through Dunkin Donut's drive through and clipped one of the lights, didn't know until I got home, it was the last haul of the year (bringing home the xmas tree) so I just parked the trailer. I'll need it next week now that it's getting warmer, time to get back outside and back to work. Even at $6.40 I can't get that light local that cheap, same Blazer brand as the auto supplies sells, hell I'd pay more for just the lens! With prime it ships free and I'll have it by next Tues. :thumb:

Looks nice until you see the price, OMG!

It is expensive! compared to a China Mod, But if you compare it to a mod Rossum would buy made out of Stab Wood, Then it's not to bad :)

It's the configuration that has my interest, 3X 21700's will last a long time, no matter what your vaping style :)

They are showing a Dual 2X700 DNA250c, but the wording is vague?
Does it handle 20700 or 21700? Why not go with 21700? then both would fit :)

Plus, you can bludgeon an attacker or drive 20 penny nails with it.

Or you could vape for 12 to 14 hours! on the same batteries?
I vape big Coils at high wattage, I need some thing with good battery life!
I have plenty of small mods, all ready :)
