Well, I been looking at these headphones for awhile now, and I finally pulled the trigger today for $313 on Amazon. I'm hoping they are everything I've read they are, I've seen them at the top of a lot of "best gaming headsets" lists. It will be my Xmas present, so I can't use them for a month yet. This newer model has Bluetooth, so that will be neat to use with my phone. I'm excited to try them out and see what they are about. 👍

Specs? ...Jealous/not jealous...;)
Oh it's just a stock fuel injected L26(inline-6, 2.6L)with 165hp, 5 speed transmission and that's just about it. Until I begin my build, it isn't very interesting spec wise. Oh and it's the 1976 260Z 2+2 model :P

I just went full Black Friday for my truck with CBI Offroad's Sale.


Moab 2.0 Aluminium Bumper with black powder coating. I got the full hoops so I can put my obnoxious 9" 17000 lumen Jesus lights on them. My existing stock fog lights will be able to fit in the cut outs too and CBI sends the brackets to make that work which is nice, I really didn't want to pop for $400 fogs.

Bolt on steel rock sliders with the optional kick out in bare metal. They are going to get beat to hell so paying $200 to powder coat them seems like a waste, I'll just hit em with some flat black spray paint.

Now I just get to wait 4-ish weeks for them to fab it up and then drive up to Idaho Falls to pick everything up.

Bought this Scrub today (not my pic, obviously). A bike I've always wanted (actually wanted a classic but this is brand new). I pick it up tomorrow morning. Have to wait for the extras I purchased to come from the factory so I wont have the screen or other bits for another week or two.

Very please, I am. Real pics to follow collection.
 
I bought lifting straps. These help a little with the grip when lifting heavy things.
Normally you would use a mixed grip (One palm pointing away from you the other facing you) to lift stuff that is heavy, but that grip variation is very risky and known to tear biceps tendons when used incorrectly.
With the straps a normal, safe grip can be used.

Just tested them and they work!

And this can happen when using a reverse grip incorrectly: (left arm) :scared:

Bought some CDs...

This could be the score of the year for me. I can't wait to see what he does with the Blade Runner 2 score.

I own this on vinyl also, however I wanted a CD copy for those occasions I don't have time for a record.

A very good swan song from ATCQ, not the best hip hop album this year, that would have to go to either Clipper or the Skyzoo/Apollo Brown albums.
 
Wasn't planning to go out shopping on Black Friday, but ended up picking up an 8 element infrared heater:

My house has an open floor plan and high ceilings on the lower level and it can feel drafty in the winter, got this to help out the main furnace and (hopefully) lower my heating bills.

Black Friday looting gone good. Got myself this ASUS 144Hz 24 inch LCD monitor at almost half the price. Was very tricky to set up correctly, but now I'm enjoying a new world of gaming. The eye can certainly see past 60fps, and may I say the difference is extraordinary.

Only thing I miss about my old 59Hz HP LED monitor is the superior contrast and better colors. It helped me a lot since I do digital art. But it honestly sucked big time for gaming.
