I've been going to Opening Day for over 50 years, first with my grandfather and dad, and these days with my dad and my son, and hopefully next season with my grandson. We play hooky from work and school, which is always part of the fun. We love everything about it, from the bands playing in the parking lot, to the gigantic flag covering the field before the game, the parachutists delivering the fist pitch, the fighter jet fly overs, Kane Kalas singing the National Anthem next to his fathers statue, the "clinking" of our soft pretzels together before the first pitch to toast the season, everything about it is magical.

And this year, it's going to be 70 degrees and sunny! I can't wait.

Did you get a huge Christmas bonus this year? Did you get a membership to the ham of the month club? Did you get a thank you card and a "No vacation between Christmas and New Years" notice?

I'd love to know who the employers are that are taking care of their employees, so if you've got a good one, let us know!

I lost my old one, and I can't seem to find a Santa hat anywhere that's well made and comfortable. All I can find are the cheap, flimsy ones that shed, and they're a little too tight for my apparently large head.

I've got a Christmas party tomorrow night, is there any stores around that sell actually nice Santa Hats?

Thanks!

I love the way photo labs make those photo cutouts mounted on to foamcore or gatorboard where they're cutout exactly around a person. I make those bigheads-on-a-stick for sports clients, and I've gotten a huge response from them. Right now, I just use an exacto knife to cutout the photos after they're mounted on to foamcore, but that usually results in slightly rough edges and bandaids on my fingers. This sports season, I've sold hundreds of these things, and I need a better method of production. I would like to speed up the process, but my ultimate goal is to improve the quality of the cut so I can deliver a better product to my clients.

I assume I can use some sort of CNC machine, l

Like the title says, I've been making those big-heads-on-a-stick for clients, and I've gotten a great response. They're easy enough to make, but cutting foam core with an exacto blade isn't perfectly smooth, and it's time consuming. I'm hoping I can find a machine to cut out these heads on foam core for me, so they're nice and smooth. Most photo labs offer photo cutouts, where the photo is mounted on to gator foam or something and is cut out exactly around the photo. What kind of equipment do they use? Is there a cheaper home version, like a circut or something that can cut through foam core?

Thanks!

I just picked up a couple of FCX24 K5 Blazers for me and my son and we’re having a blast. I also picked up a couple of spare urgenex batteries off of Amazon to keep us going all day, and now I’m looking for a charger. I keep reading that the included USB chargers from FMS are dangerous, and that we should buy something better, but I’m having trouble figuring out these battery connectors. I’m not interested in soldering different connectors at the moment, I’d rather just plug something in to a charger with an adapter if that’s possible.

Can someone recommend a better battery charger and/or adapter to charge these fms batteries? Amazon links are helpful, but any advice is appreciated as

And probably even longer, depending on our Postseason schedule.
