lego-Porsche-42056-911-GT3-RS-technic-10.jpg


After exactly 10 years of building nothing, I was struck with the desire to get something I never had as a kid. A complex Technic vehicle build.

(I might've over paid though)
I don't know what to think of it. It looks like a Mad Max GT3RS and a huge mess but I like it a lot. Makes me want to go and buy the same (is it Lego?) GT3RS Lego.

Yeah, Lego Technic. It's quite complex with functional pistons, suspension, differential, and even a four speed gearbox. It even has the gear changers by the steering wheel. It'll be my greatest challenge.
 
Wifey bought me some new work trousers which turned out to be skinny jeans and since H&M wouldn’t issue a refund I exchanged them for a navy button down linen shirt and a charcoal coloured slim neck tie.

I don’t know how many times I’ve told her not to clothes shop for me. :rolleyes:

You can't change women but they all want to change their man.

To be fair to her I’d been mentioning getting some new slacks for work, I just didn’t expect she’d get some without my presence.
 
Were they skinny or slim jeans? I do not like skinny jeans, but slim jeans are great.

Actual skinny jeans. Slim I could deal with if they'd had been the right length but skinny jeans that require shoehorning into are a no no. Seems my local H&M no longer carries straight cut or boot cut trousers.

4 IMAX tickets for Thursday, April 26. Unsurprisingly, the 19:00 show practically sold out instantly, so 22:35 it is.

The Super Deluxe Edition of How the West Was Won, my favorite live album of all time. Now that Jimmy has reissued the entire Zeppelin library I hope we'll see some new things in the future. I'd love some official releases of both their '75 and '77 American tours (or their '75 Earls Court run) or some material from '69 or '70.

The chairs at the island in our kitchen are starting to fall apart so we found some new ones.

I'm not sure why but a single chair is $63.38 but a 2-pack of chairs is $67.99. :odd: We bought two 2-packs even though we only need 3 chairs.
My first order was cancelled - they said they were out of stock. A few days later, they were back in and a new batch was ordered. Arrived, assembled and in place today.

Out with the old:

In with the new:

They're kind of bright but I'm betting on a few days I won't even notice.
 
I really like that blue! Great choice!
Thanks, I'm a huge fan of the blue colors coming back to the car market, seems like 5 years ago only a few companies were doing it (or at least only a few were being purchased). Now it's becoming more and more common. Very happy with the car so far, can't make any complaints about it (for the most part). Hope you're enjoying yours as much as I am mine. :D

I wanted to get mine in Obsidian Blue, but I did not like the grey interior as much as black. Instead, I went with black paint and black interior. I am very happy with the car and have enjoyed it tremendously so far. It is a big change compared to the S2000.

My only complaint I am having issues with phone calls not playing through speaker system and the microphone not picking me up. I think it has to do with my phone, but not completely sure. I am still learning about all the stuff I did not have in the S2000. It does not help that I have not really messed with it much either.

My old Mark Levinson sub has put in work since I refoamed it almost 2 years ago but I knew it wouldn't last long in the Florida sun. It was time to either upgrade or replace so I've decided to replace it.
 
I renewed my cult Costco membership than somehow spent less than I was expecting to. I'm sure I'll make up for that soon enough though. :lol:

I can also legally drive again after renewing my license that expired a couple days ago.
