She sounds like a smart woman.

Certainly not near as impressive as a new house but it's what I bought. My annual supply of maple syrup. I also bought some maple-sriracha roasted cashews but they didn't survive the drive home from the sugarbush.

Also, I like carbon steel.

Who makes a good lightweight cast iron?

Real happy with it...car is very stable on these. I did need to buy the EXT piece to fit my wife's SUV. HD has them for $239 shipped.

Awesome! Can't wait for it to get here. How long did yours take? Mine said 10 to 14 days.

Old desktop was struggling with VR stuff.... splurged and got this, what a difference! Butter smooth so far with everything i've thrown at it, love it, plus it has a 4k screen that is color accurate for work, which is a huge bonus

I had everything in 8 days (ordered last Wednesday night...had everything Friday Morning).

FedEx split the shipment...tried to blame it on weather. Should have had everything Thursday.

Never underestimate the charity of women.

Can't post a pic of it, because the Q-code is readable but I can tell you: Its one of wifeys round birthdays today, 10 years ago she got a coupon for driving a BMT Tank around the woods which was much fun.
To increase this, she got now a coupon for the legendary Green Hell onto Nordschleife with one lap and a M135 stage 2 tuned included.

I'm genuinely curious as to what you were using and doing to cause that kind of damage? Were you using a rotary polishes with a wool pad and some very aggressive polish?

She'll have a blast! It's a fantastic track to drive. I recommend a visit to Burg Eltz in Wierschem between Koblenz and Trier since you'll be in the area. Happy Birthday to Wifey.

You got it. It was on one of my work trucks that someone had drove against a branch or something causing a light scratch down the entire side of the truck. Used light cutting compound with a wool pad and after doing the panels affected I decided to do the whole truck. At least the paint was smooth as silk and scratch free when done

It only looks bad in bright sun. It isn't even swirl marks it's like ingrained product.

Supposed to be the best for preventing excess hulls between your teeth. But I also struggle with digesting the regular hulls that irritate my stomach.
We'll see when I pop a few bags this Friday for the premier of Zack Snyder's JUSTICE LEAGUE!

Bought this today for working in, Casio Outlet had it for only $79. Tells temp, has a compass, altimeter/barometer and is solar powered.

^Speaking of watches. I ordered a new "daily" watch that I wouldn't mind beating up a bit. Believe it or not, this will be my first automatic watch. I have a Citizen eco drive, Apple Watch 3, and a Tag Heuer Formula 1 Gulf Racing.

I needed to replace this Radiant bulb for an antique slide projector. After searching all the possible shops in the city I turned to the inter-web. Name: Old Projector Bulb And Packing.jpg

I managed to find a place in North Carolina that had something from Sylvania that matched. The replacement bulb was $10. Shipping was $42

I ordered two bulbs because it didn't increase the shipping and it's always good to have a spare. Now what I didn't expect was what arrived today. There was no mention anywhere on the website that I was buying NOS bulbs. These bulbs must be at least 60 years old! I mean look at the address on the single box. Is that a two digit zip code for NYC? Was there ever two digit zip codes? Well yes... yes there was. 1943 was the first use by the USPS of two digit codes to help sort the roughly 20 million pieces of mail per year. The current format of the Zone Improvement Code (zip) didn't start until 1963. Do the math, these two bulbs could be as much as 78 years old! I hope they work.

Super cool! Thanks for sharing and for the history lesson.
