FS 152? luck guy!
As to the strange part, it looks like x-mas stuff to me, a waist hook from someone's pants ( or bra strap hook) that popped loose after too much holiday dinner.

A Conundrum... What to do...

Add a powered sub-woofer and stop the speaker upgrade madness now!
(save your money for the "aperture fever" madness).

How does one tell if the painting was crapped on

Posted By Rex & Yvonne Repich

If you are looking for a serious answer? The same way the health department inspects public bathrooms, the fecal mater will fluoresce under ultra-violet light.

Why don't people look through the wanted ads

Posted By Rex & Yvonne Repich

Chris,
I responded to a few "wanted" posts and after doing that , I decided that to avoid any "buyer's market" pressure from only one buyer in that situation, I would never do it again. If I see a "wanted" post for an item I want to sell, I will post a "for sale" post and let all interested buyers have an equal opportunity to meet my price.

what are the lightest 50-63mm binos?

Posted By Rex & Yvonne Repich

I would check out Leica, they are the lightest quality binoculars that I have used.

Focusers for refractors

Posted By Rex & Yvonne Repich

You might check out the new Stellarvue focusers, they are close to your budget and the adapters from feathertouch should fit so maybe you can find an adapter there for your scope.

Migrains anyone?

Posted By Rex & Yvonne Repich

I used to get them, same symptoms as everyone else. I would suggest consulting your doctor to be safe and as I believe they relate to blood flow and sugar levels, I suggest you try getting off of sugar, (can't hurt and might help). I also found something that may have cured these migraines, I started taking Levitra ( a Viagra competitor, I use for post prostrate cancer surgery recovery therapy). Since I started using Levitra, I have not had any of these eye events and my dark adaptation seems much better, my eyes feel 20 years younger. I understand that athletes use Levitra (for an off label use) to increase blood flow throughout the body. Anyone with these symptoms might want to talk it over with your doctor and try it for "on label" use and see what benefits it has with your eyes. I think using it for three days at a time once or twice a month is enough for improvement to my eyes. For me it was the only good thing about getting cancer.
