Tight and Entertaining

Mon, 30 Jun 2008 23:24:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gunner69 - This is an interesting golf course that requires straight drives, and accurate approach shots. The sand traps are deep, round, and not very friendly or forgiving. The greens are undulating and require a good read. This course was designed by Doug...

Change your driving habits..

Wed, 21 May 2008 23:12:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gunner69 - Do your homework about how hybrid automobiles operate, and the differences between single and dual drive systems. Our Saturn Vue hybrid is a single drive system. To compare, a Toyota Prius is a dual drive system. Essentially, a single drive system...

Keeps a marriage happy!

Wed, 12 Sep 2007 10:54:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gunner69 - I enjoy watching TV from my bed before I go to sleep. My wife prefers complete silence so that she can become completely immersed in her latest mystery novel. HHmm. I opted to try a wireless headphone system. I had tried one many years ago and...

Rides like a Honda

Mon, 28 May 2007 23:19:11 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author gunner69 - Just took a 1000 mile trip in a Honda Odyssey EXL. The inside of the cabin was very nice with many great features, but the road noise, engine noise, tire noise and ride was terrible. The cabin of this vehicle has 16 cup holders. Wow! That's...

Classic and Unforgiving

Wed, 4 Apr 2007 16:44:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gunner69 - A very old central Illinois course with many updates and very well maintained. Bent grass fairways, excellent greens, and new sand traps add to this occasional home of numerous state golf tournaments. Tree lined fairways and thick, long rough make...

You'll never be lost!

Thu, 1 Feb 2007 23:24:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gunner69 - We have never owned nor utilized an auto-type GPS unit. I NEVER get lost and have a keen sense of direction. My son, however, seems to get lost everytime he drives back to college--over the same route! He has no sense of direction, so we decided as a...

A good read during winter!

Sun, 3 Dec 2006 19:23:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gunner69 - Normally I read murder/mysteries, stories of coaches, and biographies. I pulled this from a shelf in a bookstore while in Florida on a whim and I was glad I did. In a nutshell this is a journey of a cowboy running from a somewhat crooked past...

Very Yummy Dietary Supplement!

Wed, 14 Jun 2006 23:51:20 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gunner69 - We use this because my wife likes the taste of chocolate better than vanilla, which is the flavor of Reliv Now. So she flavors her adult Now with the Kids Now, and sometimes just takes a kid shake instead of an adult shake. The kid shakes have...

Now Works- for almost everybody!

Wed, 14 Jun 2006 23:34:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gunner69 - Reliv now has been in our family now for a little over a year. We use Reliv Now versus Reliv Classic, because it tastes much better than Classic. This is billed as a "dietary supplement". Not a miracle drug, not a pain killer, not a fix-all. My...

Quality control??

Sat, 2 Apr 2005 23:57:58 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author gunner69 - We have owned our 2005 Equinox LT AWD for about 6 months. Some aspects of this vehicle are good, some are very bad. At this point I would not purchase another one of these vehicles. The interior has some nice creature features. The stereo is...

Short but semi-sweet

Mon, 12 Jan 2004 00:17:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gunner69 - I'm neither a John Grisham loyalist, or naysayer. This book was recommended to me by a close friend. I needed a book to read while traveling, so I picked this up to fill the airport waiting time. I read this book in about four hours. For any book...

Quiet!! Plus great traction!

Mon, 16 Jun 2003 15:37:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gunner69 - I have 235-75-15XL on my GMC Savannah Starcraft full size conversion van. I had American Generals, that were very worn out after just 30,000 miles. Traction on wet roads and snow was horrible. I had read about Yokohama's in magazines, and on a web...

You get what you pay for.

Sat, 12 Apr 2003 23:01:18 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author gunner69 - I inherited these tires on a GMC Savana Conversion van that I purchased used. The paperwork indicates these tires have been on for a little over 25,000 miles. I've driven on these for approximately 10,000 of those miles. The wear is about average or...

Brinkmann Smoke 'n Pit Pitmaster 805-2101-2 All-in-One Grill / Smoker: Smokin' Machine...

Thu, 3 Apr 2003 17:47:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gunner69 - I've owned my Brinkmann now for about four years. I've cooked turkey breast, ribs, chicken, more ribs, bologna, beef brisket, and assorted side dishes on this baby, always with success.

The firebox on the lower left is sized just right for...

Urban Truckster

Mon, 27 May 2002 11:42:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gunner69 - I owned a regular cab '87 Dodge Dakota until early 2002. Purchased a 2000 Dakota Quad cab for its convenience, looks, passenger room, and hauling capability. I have three friends that own V8 models, and all three report gas mileage of 12 mpg, in town,...

Point and Shoot on Steroids!

Sat, 25 May 2002 00:08:09 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gunner69 - As a professional, I shoot both 35mm and medium format, depending upon subject, purpose, etc. Also own a Mamiya 645 manual focus. This Fuji has practically replaced my Mamiya completely.

I must mention that this is a vertical format...

Adaptable Luxury Van

Sat, 8 Dec 2001 13:48:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gunner69 - The 2001 Silhouette (GLS) is the second Silhouette we have owned. Our previous 1998 model was very nice and reliable, with some very nice improvements in the 2001 model.

The ride on the highway or in town is excellent, partly due to the 16...

Super Sharp!

Sat, 8 Dec 2001 00:40:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gunner69 - This lens is a professional level lens system. Tack sharp as they say, at any F stop you would like to try, at any focal length. I use this as well as the Canon 100-400IS for professional sports photography. The 70-200 2.8 is faster focusing, and just...

Lots of Smoke, little fire..

Sat, 16 Dec 2000 22:32:03 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author gunner69 - I subscribed to this magazine for about three years. The same opinions from a small group of writers became repetitive.

The technical analysis of lenses is WAY TOO scientific, yet sometimes slightly interesting. (Oh all those cool color...

Good and Bad

Sat, 9 Dec 2000 00:13:31 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author gunner69 - As a professional photographer, I like to review various magazines to keep myself current both on the hobbyist side, and professional side of photography. Balian's ONP is a fine hobbyist magazine.

A wide variety of subjects are reviewed in...

Big lens, Big price tag.

Mon, 27 Nov 2000 12:51:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gunner69 - As a professional, I use this lens for a small amount of portraiture work, but mostly for wide angle and low light shots. Typical of the high quality "L" lens series from Canon, this lens is built to last.

With the 77mm filter size,...

All purpose-Almost All Everything

Mon, 27 Nov 2000 01:48:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gunner69 - The Canon 28-135 IS an all-purpose, leave on the camera most of the time, kind of lens.

The zoom range is VERY handy, allowing close-ups from not too close. Able to go wide easily. With the EW78B-II lens hood, glare has never been a...

Not for the faint of heart!

Sun, 26 Nov 2000 14:49:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gunner69 - This Canon lens is for serious photographers only. I use this lens for day and nighttime athletic contests. This lens allows slower shutter speeds while hand-holding. Optics are of highest quality. A bit on the heavy and long side, not a lens to tote...
