BOB G replied to BOB G's discussion A RAINWATER CATCHMENT SYSTEM FOR BACK-UP"There was not a lot of location choice in our situation, but some folks may be able to rig a gutter at the edge of the roof on the shady side of a house.
Probably the best defenses are that the tanks are dark colored plastic that don't let…"
Frank MacMillan replied to BOB G's discussion A RAINWATER CATCHMENT SYSTEM FOR BACK-UP"Also suggest, if possible, find a place away from the sun. The warmer the water the greater chance of some little "criiters" growing in the tank. Paint the tank white."
BOB G replied to Ricco's discussion Any good table tennis players out there?"I sometimes play at Amigos. Occasionally there are some good Panamanian players there, though with some you have to be tolerant of questionable serves. The net is loose and floppy, and the lighting is not the best.
A friend of mine has…"

BOB G replied to Mark Heyer's discussion Watch out for Duracell batteries - they could ruin your electronics"High temperatures can cause leaks, but probably the main cause is deep discharge of the batteries. That is why cells in stored-away items tend to leak. They become fully discharged.
To clean up an alkaline solution, you need an…"
BOB G replied to Mark Heyer's discussion Watch out for Duracell batteries - they could ruin your electronics"Not to be too much of a wise-ass, but alkaline batteries do not leak acid. The electrolyte in them is potassium hydroxide, a fairly strong alkali. It's the same electrolyte used in rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) cells, so…"
BOB G replied to Ritch and Marguerite Heffner's discussion Firearms in Panama"I don't know the FPS rating of any of the ones I have seen, but the sales people in the stores probably have the specs for them.
You could also check with Danilo at the gun store named in the presentation slides. I have noticed air…"
BOB G replied to Mark Heyer's discussion Watch out for Duracell batteries - they could ruin your electronics"Interestingly Consumer reports gives top ratings to Duracell. But conversely, their consumers rate them very low because of leaks. Apparently, like the little nursery rhyme girl, when they're good they're very, very good, and…"
BOB G replied to Ritch and Marguerite Heffner's discussion Firearms in Panama"Yes, it is correct that air guns do not require registration. You can buy high quality air rifles here in the range of $200 to $300. Three or four years ago I bought a decent .22 air rifle from China in El Poderoso for under $50. …"
BOB G replied to Ritch and Marguerite Heffner's discussion Firearms in Panama"I did not hear that anyone was planning to publish information based on the meeting about firearms legalization, new Permiso de Armas, etc.
