Pool Noodle

[Bear Dale]

Not sure if most would know about this handy and cheap idea already, but in case you don't and you do shoot pics from inside your car, a pool noodle
split with a sharp knife works great and is a LOT easier than a bean bag as it stays put.

Very practical idea!

That comes under the heading "WHY didn't I think of that?" Thanks for the post!

Initially I looked at this and thought to myself how can that support anything. Then I realized it's mounted on the window glass (DUOH). I'm using this now and it's great. THANKS BUDDY .

I used one several years ago, but since I was driving (and still do) a Subaru Forester, many times when I opened or closed the door the darn thing fell out, or blew away if it was windy. Foresters, and many other Subaru's, have no window frames. But when it did work it worked great!

If you had a Porsche suv you wouldn't have this problem. Time for the Subaru-> Porsche upgrade. I picked one out for you. Just go into a Porsche dealer, tell them Rick sent you, pay for it, and you're good to go .

I'm guessing a 16 year old Subaru should trade well, probably won't have to pay any cash.
I do have the very poor person's equivalent of the Cayenne, a VW Golf Alltrack, that for some reason my wife seems to hog (in fact she just left for 3 weeks in MN) leaving me with the Forester.

So you're alone for 3 weeks? Got any wine?

When you have wine, you're not alone.

Nice time of year for a road trip.

Drop in any time.

I have wine and I don't really like drinking alone. When she gets back we're meeting up with our son and spending 8 days on the road tasting wines from southern to Northern Oregon and into the Washington side of the Columbia Gorge. In the meantime I can do what I want, when I want; eat what I want, when I want; or as a friend put it, "How sweet it is to do nothing all day and then to rest afterwards.”
Oh, and maybe my Porsche will get here soon.

They are on sale these days. $1
I use them as packing material, good protection for camera gear.

I love pool noodles! This is an EXCELLENT use! Thanks!

Cheers all it works very well. I can put the window up and leave it in place if I change locations.
