[Teh One Who Knocks]

A granite sink.......... must be nice to be rich :(

8-)


Great looking sink Lance! Love it

Thanks! :)

Like I said above, it ended up being a lot more work than it should have been (or that we thought it would be I guess). :lol: Mostly because the new sink is a lot deeper and it's wider than the old one, so there was even less room under the sink to work when putting everything in. Plus, we had to change/replace stuff on the fly as we went. All told it was about 6 trips to Lowe's before we had everything we needed. :lol:

But it makes the kitchen look so much better and it goes great with all our appliances which are all black as well. All totaled up, between the sink, the new faucet, and the new garbage disposal, it probably ended up being about a $600 project, but like I said, it makes the kitchen look so much better. That worthless stainless sink they put in was flimsier than a wet piece of tracing paper and they did a shitty job when they put it in.

Bought a used laptop off Craigslist. Dell Inspiron 5010 CoreI5, 4GB ram,600GB HDD. Was originally a windows 7 laptop but had been "upgraded" TO WINDOWS 10.
Paid $120 for it, it's to be used as a DJ computer on the island.

I really would have preferred Windows 7 but it wouldn't downgrade or recover to factory settings. Figured I'd tinker around to see if I can get all my programs to work on it.

So far almost everything installed properly and I spent many hours cleaning it up and shutting off all the Microsoft spying crap. Did some research and found a little app from Spybot (makers of the anti malware app) that in a couple clicks blocks access to all the stuff that reports back to MS that cannot be shut off manually. (Like Cortana and MS using your computer and bandwidth to send updates to strangers computers.) So far so good!

Only bug so far is somewhere in my tinkering I broke the "Photo" app and couldn't open any pictures, found a hack to be able to use the old "Windows Photo Viewer", turns out it is included with windows 10 just not accessible to set as a default without a registry hack.

Ahh.. cool.. What about the Volt, hows that thing doing? I asked you about it in your thread but you chose to ignore me. Probably because my nipples arent ringed.

[PorkChopSandwiches]

[Muddy]

How many miles are on it?

[PorkChopSandwiches]

45,000

[Muddy]

Batteries still strong, makes it to work and home on a charge easily?

[PorkChopSandwiches]

It makes it to work when I am in traffic, I charge at work again and I get within 5 miles of my house before it runs out. When you break it charges a little, so I can do 50 miles in traffic, on the way home there isnt much traffic, so typically I dont get the same distance. But, it still runs the same distance as when I first got it

[Muddy]

Does the A/C blow cold?

[PorkChopSandwiches]

The Volt and the Dodge both do ;)

A gently used laptop from Ebay. And have bids in on another.

[Noilly Pratt]

A microwave. It is the same brand (Panasonic) as the previous one - which lasted 12 years until the turntable thing broke, same buttons, same power level and the buttons are in exactly in the same place on the panel, so I thought it had the same features. Only difference is that it's smaller and I found I didn't ever really use the largeness of the other one much.

Seems "Auto Cook" now means instead of automatically sensing the cooking as the other microwave brilliantly did, this one you press it once, and it gives you 2 minutes, twice for 2.45, 3 for...etc...a fixed amount of time and seems to have no smarts about it whatsoever.

It was a whole lot cheaper than when I bought the other one (by about $100)...if I want one with the same working features, I'll have to pony up a LOT more $. Harrumph! Luckily I mostly cook with the toaster oven, stove and grill.

Yep, all my home stuff is all squared away. I had a bunch of stuff laying around for my car and decided to finish it out. I have 2 Alpine S series 10s and the Alpine S series 6.5s with the Alpine Type R Tweets coming. Subs are powered by a Hifonics Brutus 1500 with a 3.5 farad cap and the mids and highs will be powered by the Hifonics 616.4 all ran by a Kenwood DPX592BT.


I almost bought that back in January. It was between that and the M&P 9C. The 9C won out.

I wanted something smaller that would be easy to conceal even for my wife to carry. :tup:

[DemonGeminiX]

I didn't like the safety on the shield. I already had the full size M&P 9 and the 9C was really close to that in feel. Plus 12 rounds per clip verses 7/8.

Granted, if you get into a situation where you actually need 12 rounds, then you're probably screwed anyway...

Just bought a replacement coffee mug for my grandfather. He only had one and he dropped it the other day. He said he'd had that mug for years and years and hated that he dropped it. He seemed so broken up about it that I went online to look for another one just like it. Apparently, a 1989 Rhett Butler coffee mug is considered vintage. Found it on ebay for about $25. I would normally never spend that much on a mug (especially since I don't drink coffee), but, as I said, it seemed to mean a lot to him. I imagine my grandmother gave it to him or something when she was still alive. Mine won't have the same meaning, but it can at least be a reminder of the original.

Yeah, stock on mine is 285. 10 wide rims on front, 11 inch on back. The Z28 runs 305 all around on a 19 inch rim. I thought of going to 295 or 305 all around, but, in budget mode right now.

305 is too wide for a 10" wheel... 285 is pushing it a bit IMO, but then again, I'm not an expert like the guys that decided on the setup :lol:

Prep time is virtually non existent since they are already trimmed, (unless you corn your own which takes a couple of weeks) then just smoke them like you would normally do.
The combination of corned beef, home made barbecue rub and smoke go nicely together. :thumbsup:

I'm surprised that you went with carpet instead of laminate flooring. Figure the carpet would be harder to clean with the dogs....

Just ordered a new watch!



I reaaaaally want an Omega Professional (https://www.amazon.ca/Omega-3570-50-00-Speedmaster-Professional-Chronograph/dp/B000EJPDOK) (it went to the f**king moon - who wouldn't want that watch) but it's too steep. So this seemed like a far more reasonable compromise that's a similar style, and a brand that has a decent history (I try to avoid brands like Fossil that aren't really watch makers first)

Chose this one as a compromise:

I'm gonna have to have a word with my doctor about this prescription. I know for a fact that there are cheaper alternatives.

The deal I got 2 months ago was the drill and a circular saw, charger and 1 batt for $79. So far Im very happy with it. Only issue I have is the saw eats the cheap low end battery that came with the kit very quickly. I was ripping 8 feet of plywood with it though.

I have other Ryobi ONE + tools, so this works out perfectly since the batteries are all interchangeable. But I've got 3 chargers now :lol:

[Pony]

Yep, that's why I like the Ryobe one line, they also sell bare tools with no batt or charger for real cheap. I bought the sawzall as a bare tool for less than 100.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

They seem to be well built quality tools for the price too, I'm really happy with all of them so far.

but then again, its oh so NOT overkill, since I can now do what I was doing with 4 stands, with two now. I'm going to get another 9700XL to hang my center two toms and center crash cymbal off of it. all the tubes are 1 size up from the reg 9700, so I can take the top 1 off of the XL and put it on the bottom of the 9700 (will use that as ride stand) and top 2 from the 9700 can pair with the bottom 2 of the XL.

I also discovered that...like all other DW9000 stuff, its totally geared around FAST setup and break down - so these stands I take boom end off, middle out, bottom by itself. Seems weird to take the stand apart, but with the way they have these locks designed, its 3 times faster of a setup, no missing how its configured either.

again very happy with DW gear....expensive but the ease of setup/breakdown, sturdiness, configurability is second to none.

Ryobi is not "cheaper stuff".

[FBD]

good to know, never knew anyone that used it so I didnt have much reference there :tup: (I wasnt necessarily referring to ryobi as cheaper stuff :lol: )

So what's the recommendation fellas, Ryobi or Dewalt? I'm about to become a first time homeowner in a few weeks so looking to get a good cordless drill :cheerlead:

The Ryobi stuff is fine for home use, plus you can buy "tool" only and save some money after you have a couple batteries and charger.

Yes power cord, rechargable battery. Bluetooth connectivity and AUX. USB charging ports . And there is a Groupon for a manufacturer refurb for $99. I figured it's perfect for the island so if someone wants to drag it out to the deck they don't have to run power. Pretty neat little box.
They make about 20 different models each with different features so make sure if you're shopping for one you get the exact model number with the features you're after. The model I bought you can buy two and wirelessly link them to create Stereo via bluetooth when streaming from your phone.

Referb unit showed up yesterday, the "refurbishing" job the manufacturer did apparently included half assed wiping down the spilled gunk with a dirty rag and throwing it in a new box. It had gunk (spilled pepsi?) in all the cracks and crevices and the power switch is faulty and won't turn/stay on. Other than that it sounded pretty good, was louder than expected.
Boxed it back up and am sending it back to the manufacturer for a new replacement. So much for enjoying it on the island this weekend or next. Give this company one chance to make it right.

A new wireless mouse. I wore out the left click button. I got the same mouse that I wore out. The battery life on it is amazing. While I'm using the newer mouse, I can take the old one apart and see if I can't fix it. It's probably an easy fix, but we'll see.

Subsequently, navigating the web has become a royal pain in the ass so I'm gonna have to surf severely frustrated for a day while I wait for the new mouse to come.

A new wheelchair cushion. A Supracor Stimulite Classic XS. Different from what I'm already using. I've had my eye on these for about 10 years or so. I figured it was time to try it and see how I like it. I'm sick of these Jay gel pad cushions that I've been using. I keep breaking the gel pads and they're ridiculously expensive to replace. I'm not a fan of the Roho air cushions either. They're just a pain in the ass. The Supracor cushions are supposed to be low maintenance. Low maintenance is good. If I don't have to think about it, then I'm happy. It's costing me $360 so it better fucking make me happy.

Maybe, in time, I'll look into the Varilite cushions. They're supposed to be low maintenance too. I just don't feel like spending another $400 to test one out in addition to what I'm shelling out for this one. Besides, I've got a rifle to buy, if the damn pawn shop ever calls me back.

Another long weekend, another home project :lol: Attacked the master bathroom this time. Didn't get nearly as far as we wanted, so still a lot to do. But got it painted (still need to do some touch up around a few places), got the floor done (super happy with how that turned out) and got the new vanity and granite top put in and got it all plumbed. Hung one new cabinet and then got the toilet and bathtub caulked. Still need to get the medicine cabinet and mirror hung up and get the trim done. But it's mostly usable now.
