You are so young

 

[Sprite]

More music on Wax. I have an addiction.

Picked up Reachy Prints by Plaid.



1 off MP3 download code up for grabs in the vinyl thread.

 

[Bo]

You are so young

Are you surprised?

 

[20832]

Are you surprised?

I am, actually. I thought you'd be older, but I guess that's a good thing, mate

 

[Bo]

I am, actually. I thought you'd be older, but I guess that's a good thing, mate

I suppose so. But then again, 15 isn't too young.

 

[20832]

I suppose so. But then again, 15 isn't too young.

It's not, but considering that I'm 7 years older than you, make me feel old. Maybe it's just the lack of facial hair, young man!

 

[TB]

It's not, but considering that I'm 7 years older than you

And I'm 14 older than you.

Dear lord that puts me at 21 years older than @hsv, doesn't it?

 

[fortbo]

I suppose so. But then again, 15 isn't too young.

Did you just turn 15? I am 15 but I look a lot older than you.

 

[Bo]

Did you just turn 15? I am 15 but I look a lot older than you.

I've been 15 for a couple of months.

 

[fortbo]

I've been 15 for a couple of months.

Okay I turn 16 in October.

 

[Leicht]

I've been 15 for a couple of months.

I thought you're 13-14

I saw an iPhone case designed to look like an audio cassette. I showed it to my daughter and asked her what it looked like. "I don't know."

This was my last Discover card:

 

[W3H5]

I miss analogue music.

 

[poolhaas]

A ticket for The Black Keys in the Mitsubishi Electric Halle in Düsseldorf, february next year.
Saw them perform at Werchter yesterday and can't wait to go see them next year.

I bought this when I was at NHRA qualifying yesterday. It's a connecting rod that was autographed by Chris Karamesines. I don't know if he used it in his Top Fuel car or not. I took this picture right after I bought it.

New kicks. Regularly $65, on sale for $55. But they were having an online only 50% off sale for 4th of July weekend, so that made them roughly $27. Found a promo code for free shipping, so got them for $29 with tax.

Finally picked this up, fun game. Totally not a Sonic title though.

Just bought meself a new PSU for my PC!
-snip-

Apparently EVGA is unable to send enough PSU's over here, and I'm sick of waiting, so I switched to the RM750 from Corsair

 

[R5]

Wanted a portable mobile charger, because it'd come in handy.

I searched for a bit and came across this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GXCPIW4/?tag=gtplanet-20

And yes, I did get the signature pin!

Not a single purchase but a few small purchases that come together to make something i really like.

I got the following

A Oriel Mantle Touch Lamp Base
A lamp shade frame which i cut the outer frame off
A cheap and nasty cone air filter
A 3W pure white LED E27 base

I stripped the white enamel off the lamp shade from and bent the arms upwards then i applied primer then painted black, then i mounted the frame to the lamp base, then installed the LED bulb then i mounted the filter

The end result

A air filter lamp.

I am yet to test its nighttime illumination.

Ok, so we went to Gatlinburg, TN over the weekend, and as it is a place designed to suck every penny from your wallet, I have purchases.

First, black dress shoes. I'm no fashion guru. Comfort first.

Then some new sneakers. Again, just comfort here. Walking is the most strenuous exercise I do.

And then some fun stuff.

Taffy and candy sticks.

Then I visited a spice and tea shop, where I picked up an infuser ball, some Darjeeling, a Blood Orange Smoothie herbal tea, and some smoked paprika, which seems impossible to find around here.

And a trip to a Harry and David garnered me two varieties of low sodium queso and a salsa, as well as some flax seed chips. You corn and/or gluten free folks can have them. They aren't for me. Edible, but not great.

There was a kitchen supply place where I found some cheap straws, smidgen, pinch, and dash measuring spoons, butcher block oil, cheap red wine and balsamic vinegars, and reusable ice cubes.

And finally, I checked out an oil & vinegar store where I got a garlic-infused balsamic and an aged aceto balsamic, as well as two different bottle spouts and a sample bottle of sundried tomato and Parmesan garlic olive oil.

EDIT: I hate when I completely screw up a post's formatting via sheer idiocy.

Why are we not funding this?

 

[Grayfox]

I dont know.

But you cant use any old cone filter.

You need to use the cheap an nasty ones off ebay that you know will let crap in, this way you know light will come out.

EDIT: Make sure you get the unoiled filter.

Damn, nice steal. I like Supras but they only manufacture them in baby sizes..

Just ordered these from the New Balance store

NB 574

Planning on getting another color later on since green isn't really in my color selection when it comes clothes. Still going to wear them though.

I also got this

New Balance pronation correction insole.

Picked up my Xbox One earlier today, with Forza 5 and Assassin's Creed. Haven't had the time to play AC yet but Forza is great, can't say whether I prefer it to GT yet but its definitely a brilliant game.

Here's it all plugged up and sitting alongside my PS3

 

[Azuremen]

More money spent on garage repair. Put about 16 more hours into it over the holiday weekend. Getting closer and closer each day. Beauty if being a home owner means there is always something to do.

• 1 more bag of concrete
• 1 more bag of mortar
• 1 door bottom sill plate
• 1 gallon of concrete paint
• couple tubes of caulk
• Drain tile to allow the water to run away from garage. (black hoses)
• Couple drain tile adapters
• Circular saw
• Diamond concrete saw blade (worked amazing)
• 5 gallon empty bucket
• Shims

I managed to stuff all this in the WRX. So nice having trunk space now that I designed a thin sub box to hold (1) 12" sub instead of 2 subs.
