i really like helmet cams, i want to put one inside my quad frame aiming back so i cansee the suspension working. it would take all the guesswork out of tuning my suspension for different tracks.

Thatd be pretty cool to see that. I wanted to mount the cam on my snowmobile not my helmet (too many branches hanging down in places that hit it) but I was told it will be terrible video quality because you are a great shock absorber and the video quality on your head would be great. Like all the videos I've seen on youtube.

Hey Ray, did you get the new wheels and tires for it yet? I put some good work into a nice lift kit just to be foiled by your damn wheels! haha

My buddy Art Upton markets these cameras for R/C and rockets.
wireless video camera for r/c airplanes, r/c cars, robots, rockets. size of a dime and runs from a 9 volt battery
I think I may still have a couple, if I can only find them....

This place is maybe 3 minutes from the shop. I drive past it every time I go back and forth from the house and shop. Guy's got a pretty ok looking 6.4 too.
Fire At Giuseppe's APizza Restaurant In East Haven - Courant.com

Word around the area is the dog was shot and the truck was backed up to the house and lit on fire as well. I drove past and didn't see much damage to the truck but that doesn't mean there wasn't any. Could've been on the other side or internal. The news clip showed a firefighter opening the truck doors and smoke coming out of the cab.

I'm sure the dog was going at the guy while he was tryin to light the truck and house so he shot the dog.

Word is also that the gy whose house it was is in the midst of a divorce so who knows if that's related.

For those of you who hadn't seen the truck... Black 08-10 6.4L Powerstroke ECLB dark blue flames back rack with light bar and a Fisher Xtreme V on it

BTW: Who the hell would light your house and truck on fire? Takes a real azz to do that too.

The guy was in the burning house and was taken to the hospital. If I was gonna light my own house on fire I wouldn't be inside it? I met him once and he didn't seem all too unstable though I can't say that standing in line waiting to pay for fuel fosters deep conversation.
