I am currently working on the guns, just not the firearm kind. :)

 

With dickhead in office FFL's are 8-10 months out.

Looks like a Walbro carb. Honestly there is not much to these little 2 stroke carbs. I wouldn't be afraid to buy the $9 unit. You can generally grab one brand new, rebadged, from the component manufacturer for $20. You know they mark it up before they sell it, too.

That is what I figured.  It is a Walbro which I would assume is made in China at exactly the same plant.

I bought one of those from Sears for a weed wacker 2 years ago for $12. They can be a bugger to rebuild and get working. Not sure if you already checked there.

I was just going to rebuild it, 99% sure it is the diaphragm pump...but when the rebuild parts cost more than a full carb it seemed sort of pointless.

My stress level....

Anyone have tips for managing stress that don't include food, working out, or sex?

I tried drugs and alcohol.  That works too well.

Costco has the 3300 New with a ton of free shit for $499.

 

Maybe sell both kit lenses for $50 and then get some dope lenses. Shit the deal on the 70D Canon and Nikon D7200 is good 

 

Photokina must be around the corner... Lol

70d deal isn't really so special.  I think the week it was released I paid $899 which means $100 for each of those lenses and a free shitty bag.  I'd just buy the body...

Probably the cheapest zoom solution I could recommend in the Canon line.  Pretty sure the Nikon price point will be similar.

err, wrong.  Nikkor 17-55 2.8 is $1500.  Yikes.  Fuck that.  I'd want L glass for that price.

The Sigma 17-50 2.8 actually got pretty reasonable reviews for $400 or so IIRC.  That could also be a zoom solution with a 40d...and if you HAD to have ZOOM and spend under $700 would be the choice.

"sometimes you want to scream your head off and a coaster is the only place people won't look at you funny"

I love that show.

 

If you haven't started watching The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, boy are you in for a treat.

Decent tripods for under $100?

Anyone ever researched a cell phone mount for a bike?

Safest option seems to be a custom mount where I affix my own mount to a case. I really don't want to pop it in and out of a case to put it on the bike, but maybe I should be more concerned about it not getting broken.

Is that really a zoom?

Any non-prime is a zoom, lol.  Not a telephoto ;)
