The rasc talks were actually ok. If I hadn't previously heard so many hole-in-the ground talks before, I would have rated the last talk excellent. But the last...
Hi Folks, On the topic of Diet Coke and Mentos I thought you might enjoy these two photos. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/OAFs/files/BobOlson/DC1.jpg ...
I was at Charleston as well on Tuesday, but on the other side of the lake canoe camping. I was disappointed to be so close to the event yet unable to attend,...
I have a Light Bridge truss-tube dob. If you've seen one, you will have noted that the cast-steel end-pieces that support the tubular sections are painted...
I heard the Krylon ultra-flat black paint, which was the ATM standard, was dropped from the Krylon product line several years ago. I'd sure like to know of a...
Keith, I just finished an airplane model with my son. I found the Testers Model Paint (brush-on flat-black) to be quite flat indeed. It may suit your needs,...
... Ummm... UTA? Unusual Tube Assembly? ... I've had my 12" since April, and I've really enjoyed it. We've spent some amazing nights together in my backyard,...

This suggestion is completely from left field, but what about the black paint that you use on BBQs. I had to touch up my BBQ, and I bought some black, flat...

Hi All, If anyone is interested, I own a 10 acre field approximately 10 minutes from Sandbanks. (in Milford) The property is flat with horizons 360 degrees....
Hi Rick: I find that when there are campsites available in the busier parks, they're quite often the sites in the meadows or other open sites (like #392 in...
