Maybe a ladder and some Windex.

If only there was a tall, OEX Pro Staff member that was constantly in the area that could clean it for us.......

I few mornings ago I checked the LJ web cam about 3 am. The moon was full and I wanted to check the surf before I made the drive from Vista. I was able to see the low tide surf but most of the screen was taken up by this strange glowing, quivering line with a glowing blob slowly moving up and down it. :redface: Have had no coffee yet so it took me a minute to come up with what I think was a spider making a trap out of the camera lens. I think a rag on the end of a jig stick will take care of the "spider web cam"

Sounds like a job for evereyone's favorite guide and his 9 1/2 feet of jigging fury.....

There are 2 cameras down there, a round one, and a conventional security style camera, which one is the BWE camera ?

I almost made a post yesterday when I checked the cam. I saw a fly squirming around in the web only to be attacked by the spider, wrapped up, and dragged off for lunch. It was like watching a show on discovery. Had to hit refresh three times to catch the entire saga. Very cool. There were also a few yakkers coming in which made me wonder if they were having as much luck as the spider.

Whoever volunteers to do it, make sure no one sees you and you have an <link rel="File-List" href="file:///C:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5COwner%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsoh tml1%5C01%5Cclip_filelist.xml"><style>  </style>alibi. All we need is a bunch of Laguna based Peta activists adding spiders to the species we are endangering in LJ. If they can't close the water they will use spider homicide as a way to close the launch.

Clay got a BB gun for Christmas, sure he would be glad to take care of those spiders...

And no it was not a Red Ryder Carbine-Action Two-Hundred-Shot Range Model Air Rifle...he'd shoot his eyes out...:doh:

We need a blaster water gun to shoot from the street and it will be clean.

I couldn't stand it anymore, so I went to Westmarine to buy a "Stream Machine Water Gun" to clean the friggen camera.

The gun shoots a legit measured 40 ft. (even though it says 70 ft.)

So off i went with the Home Depot bucket full of clean water and shot it 8 times. It barely reaches it, so I may opt for the Large Model, and keep this one for - Drive By Shootings on the Kayak. Look out Mtfker :bandit:

You should have seen the looks I was getting - LMAO

There were a bunch of beach zombies there watching the Sunset when I rolled up in a grumpy diesel dually and whipped out a space gun and home depot bucket.

People honestly took a step back....lmao.

Billy, I can only imagine what LJBTC security was doing if they saw you doing that!

BTW be careful with the camera we own it!

Perhaps commission Mr. Jim Day to retrofit a squeegee onto Josh's Ulua?..

Thanks for taking care of that.
I live vicariously through that camera when I'm lashed to my computer 'working'.
Well done gents.

Hey Billy,

What is funny is that we had cleaned the camera this afternoon.

Chris from the LJ store went down and cleaned it while I gave him direction as to what spots were still bad and helped him position it as it moved around abit during cleaning.

Billy V

01-10-2010, 08:29 PM

I went down there at 4:15 and blasted it with clean water.

I guess it all worked. Did he use a ladder ? How did he reach it?

Siebler

01-11-2010, 10:24 AM

My Phone says that Chris called me while cleaning it at 3:21 so we beat you by almost an hour :p

He climbed up and stood on the rail. Thats how TROB always does it too.

What is weird is that there is still a mark on the camera. I kept telling him about it but he couldnt get it off. Your water didnt either, Must be a scratch or something?

Knowing that beyond my cubicle awaited a serious storm, that had already left me drenched during my lunch break, I wondered how good 'ol LJ was hanging in there. I decided to give it a look and to my amazement I noticed that the sand pile had been washed away as well as the beach. I just kept staring at water coming in as the rain water competed to get out and then out of know where THIS...:eek:

I jumped back in my chair, let out a yelp, then quickly hit the "Print Screen" button to capture this guy. Seriously freaked me out. Had that web been there this would have made for some awesome mid-day viewing.

Just thought I'd share my excitement, thanks OEX for putting up this cam so I too can live vicariously through it.
