I bought this Eames chair at a steep discount when I was at the DWR outlet. I had been eyeing this exact combination for quite a while, but wasn't planning on buying one anytime soon. I've also been thinking about upgrading my GPU to one of the new ones, but I really can't justify it as I got a 3060ti last year and it does pretty much everything I need it to.

Beautiful in fabric.  Well done!

You bought it off of Chrono24?  I've bought and sold watches on there.  Great platform with low commissions.

I did. This would be the 5th watch I have purchased through Chrono24.

How could I resist? 

 

 

 

An ABEL CIGAR LURE in excellent unfished condition and a limited edition large size bait. This lure was made by Abel Quality Products in California in the late 1980's. The main body measures six inches in length. It has in gold print on the lure 1 of 5000.

23 Denali.  engine light already on at 1700km (heat auxiliary pump) 😶

 

Oh and they implemented the stupid auto-off/on engine thingy. You can’t even disable it at once and forget about it.

That is a nice vehicle…and an even nicer parking space!!!

I am going to get one for the cigar deck. What could go wrong

2023 Subaru BRZ M/T Limited. I put down the deposit a while ago, I’ll have it in a few months. I’m going to call this an impulse buy because it isn’t a particularly practical car and I don’t need it, I want it.

In the Rome airport last month and the wife suggested that I get some momento. I picked this up in the news stand. Turns out she was suggesting breath mints…

Did a bit of a splurge but also got a good deal (relatively). Much faster than I am, but a lot of fun to ride.

Thanks! I am new to Di2, disc brakes and tubeless. I really like Di2 so far--a bit of getting used to and had to teach myself a new way to do tolerances. Disc brakes are the dream though. Best stopping power I've had (with carbon wheels)...and might have been converted to tubeless given how good I felt after my last solo century on some rough tarmac. Just wish I was as fast as the bike wants me to be.

I’m not fast and I ride a Roubaix with mechanical Ultegra. Best bike I’ve had but not close to your new ride. Everyone I know who has the electric shifting loves it even after they disparaged it before they had it. I’m staying away from tubeless. My buddy who is very fast and dedicated has just given up on them after two years. they are a PITA even to get seated and can be a horror if you have a flat away from home. At least that’s what I’ve heard.

Tell him to get a new hat.

Does a 2nd trip to Disney in the same year count as an impulse buy? Lord knows it costs plenty! Haha

My truck had been in and out of shop for 3 months, in more than out. This came in while waiting for my truck at dealer. Wrote the check and brought it home. Definitely impulse, but no regret.

Tubeless is A LOT about the tires. I started with Vittoria Rubino Pros and HATED them. They're a nice ride, but they punctured a ton. Dynaplugs are great, but I just hated how often I was getting punctures. Probably the last time I'm gonna use non-conti's for a while. 

Switched to Continental GP 5000 S TR and I am doing fine--plus an added rolling resistance boon. Stans No Tubes sealant, dynaplug, and a dollar bill can fix most everything--plus I still carry a tube just in case if things go REALLY sideways. I didn't have issues seating--it's easier to use an air compressor to do it,  but managed to seat them on the first try with a floor pump and a brief moment of dexterity to put the valve core back. Talk to me in a year if I still feel that way 😆

I too gave up on tubeless about a decade ago.  Tubeless would lose air too quickly and I didn't want to maintain them. 

I am looking forward to the new Super Record wireless.  Local bike shop has one and he's digging it.

Part of being the highest authority on a construction site is to instil healthy doses of both fear and respect. This inspires neither. 😳
