    Would love to know your thoughts after using it for awhile. At first glance, It looks a little too boxy for me.
    It is rather big and boxy. I really like the big fire button with the turn wheel. I have to lock the adjustment or I sometimes change the wattage when firing.

    Think I’ll skip this one then. Thanks for the feedback.

    She is so damn beautiful - but not amused by the camera! I saw somewhere that they have a Nitrous RDTA due out soon.
    Oh I’m going to be checking for that atty for sure! Thanks for the heads up

    Found her on my towel tonight. They love the bathroom. This beauty was really big and fat already even though the growing season has just begun.
    Apologies for the blurry photo but I was trying to keep her from biting me.
    Their favourite food is the big American cockroaches that have invaded most of the world. Disgusting creatures - the cockroaches that is.
    When those big Americans get fully grown (about 3 inches long), they turn from black to a lighter brown with a fawn collar.
    The very biggest ones fly - unlike most insects they fly fully upright. So imagine a guy with a jetpack on... They can land on a wall or window and sometimes on a face. Not fun.
    The worst part about them is their smell. Musky and foul.

    good morning folks,
    I have been on a shopping trip, now there is a soldering station on order. It won't arrive until well into January, but the promotional price with a bunch of tips made it easy to be able to wait.
    And, I bought some copper, some 24awg wire, and JST XH 2 pin connectors.

    Still a lot left to shop in, but I'll get there, sooner or later.

    Nice spider!!!

    T you have 400 cockroach species in OZ. Some are native to OZ. The three main types of cockroaches in Australia are the German cockroach, Australian cockroach and the American cockroach.

    Did you know that when you kill a cockroach it releases oleic acid when it dies. This has a pungent smell which intern attracts other cockroaches. :greengrin:

    A "shiny" ( :lol: ) giant burrowing cockroach found inland of Cairns.

    Cockroaches do serve a vital purpose on Earth. They are professional cleaners and mini recycling machines. Their bodies trap a lot of atmospheric nitrogen (ammonia, ozone). The nitrogen they release (in their feces) gets into the soil and is used by all plant life.

    Cockroaches have been around for at least 300 million years. They survived the dinosaur apocalypse and who knows what else. Cockroaches will still be around hundreds of millions of years from now.

    We may not like them but the Earth minus cockroaches would be a starkly different planet. Extinction of cockroaches would have a huge impact on forest health and all of life.

    Next time you see one, smile and thank it for all it does in helping our planet exist. :greengrin:

    Good morning. I’m glad we don’t have those giant cockroaches. I’m good as long as they stay outside where they belong. Those and snakes. A couple years ago after moving my daughter into an apartment in Wichita for college, we came home and I went in the bathroom in the morning to get ready for work and there was a 3-4’ snake making it’s way across the floor. I don’t know what kind it was but quickly went downstairs and got a grabber and a garbage bag and released it outside.

    I love the native cockroahes and never kill them. They belong here, they don't breed out of control, they don't smell and they don't spread their feces on my kitchen bench. The invasive species are a different story. The little German cockroaches are found in huge numbers in some parts of Sydney, especially the more densly populated suburbs and they are incredibly hard to get rid of once established.
    The big Americans are completely out of control. They live in the sewers and stormwater drains and spread foulness and muck in our houses. I don't smile when I see one unless it's dead. I take great pleasure in killing the bztards and always will.

    First rule of fotography: Never apologise for blurry pics, when the subject bites. :ohmy:
