Watch out, the SL models are all H2 fit, you have to drop bank to get an SLR with an H1 fit. The SLR 6 through SLR 9 have H1 or H2 fit options (as does the standalone SLR frame at 690gr and 4200$), but the SLR 10 (that we all know and love) is H1 only. I'd love to try an H1 Domane, but not sure about this. Does anyone know if this will be taking over the Madone line? **BRENT**

Specialized came out with a 20k one with McLaren a day or two ago. Also, the new line from Trek goes all they way down to a sub-2k Tiagra equipped version that's over 19 pounds, but I think it's still carbon. The Tune wheels are sick, though. **BRENT**

Cool, Nate. The place is about a mile or so from my house. I don't get to go there often enough, and it'll be the first time for the kids. I think Rachel Ray came here for her "$40 a Day" TV show. Had a bit of food and left a dollar or so for tip. I know she was on a budget, and that got them some press, but I REALLY hope someone dropped a 5 dollar bill on the table or something. That's Mr. Pink numbers... **BRENT**

I was woken up early by a call from work saying our systems were still down and to not report until noon. Yay! Extra sleep! Now, I'm wide awake, too excited to go to sleep, and I have plans for breakfast with kids, roomie, and a good friend from work at a place called "Aretha Frankenstein's." Awesome pancakes, huge biscuits (which I hear they will be out of if Jeff, Al, or Colin read this post before then), and also a variety of adult beverage for sale with breakfast. I figure we're going to get paid for four hours of work, so I should either have a really short day, or should be able to get some extra time in today and leave early on the 3rd. Good times! **BRENT**

Canon SL1 with kit lens and maybe a 50 1/8 (small, plastic, good, cheap), or the 40 f/2.8 STM. Kit is 599$ everywhere, but Sears has something that may be a glitch you can take advantage of, which gives you 106$ in points to use at Sears/K-Mart/etc. The SL1 is a LOT smaller than most dSLRs, and not a lot bigger than many M43s. 5D2 with kit lens vs SL1 with 40mm pancake. It's also a little lighter than the X-T1. Plus, you can get real lenses later when you get strength up, and sell the Nikon stuff and get a real camera. **BRENT** -

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/peak-design/slide-and-clutch-versatile-camera-sling-and-hand-s Possibly interesting take on camera straps. What do you guys think of the quick connects? I kinda like the Clutch. I wonder how it'd be against a BlackRapid strap. **BRENT** -
That's beastly, Nebbz! Awesome job. **BRENT**

Man, I could use some hush money. I need a turntable. I would get one in "burnt sienna" if possible. I haven't been to see a doc (it happening on a Friday night at 9pm takes away all but ERs, then some clinics and urgent cares the next day. The burn is healing rather nicely, and it's blistered over and even that has gone down now. The pain is mostly gone, and it feels like it's just tight skin. Walking a quarter mile or more from the car to my desk kinda blows, though... at least I don't have to take the 5 floors of stairs. I am tempted to write into the company to show them the damage... perhaps on the stationary of a d-_-b & Associates, LLC. **BRENT**

At least the liquid aluminium (say it in Grahame's voice) didn't merge with your foot. If mine would have been on for an hour, it would've probably taken the entire house with it. Mine was just a few minutes. I still want those burgers, though. **BRENT**

I couldn't even make it to the door to get the pizza that was delivered, much less get out of the house. I still didn't get my hamburger, though, so I'm REALLY wanting to make that happen. **BRENT**

It was even a cooking incident! **BRENT**

It was a borrowed pan. It was on the burner heating up for a burger (my other stuff has something in it in the fridge), so I grabbed this one I borrowed. I had it heating up while I was starting to wrap up some pre-made patties to freeze for later, then I dropped a burger on. I also had the oven on with fries cooking, so it was hotter than normal. It wound up smoking more than it should have, so I went to pull it off the heat and it dripped a lovely silvery metal all over my stove, and a little on the floor, which splashed up onto my foot. I ran outside to the wet grass off the porch, cooled it off enough to pull the metal off that was fused to my foot, and went back in to deal with the tons of smoke filling the place. I don't know what was worse... the 20 hours of pain so far, or the fact that I didn't get my burger. I REALLY want a burger, but damn, I don't want to cook for a while. I think I'm going to order a pizza. **BRENT**

It happens. Kinda ruined my plans for the day, and walking sucks, but it's blistered up and just kinda sucks. Walking isn't fun... at all. **BRENT**

It was last night... But I was making hamburgers for dinner, the pan melted, and I burned the hell out of my foot when some molten metal splashed the floor and hit the sole of my foot while I was trying to take care of the situation. Good times. I need to find which piece of metal looks like the mark above. I remember peeling it off my foot at some point. **BRENT**

No, that's the right translation. Fuck vegetables! **BRENT** -
Jeff, just make him buy some shoes and cleats. That seems like the better solution. **BRENT**

Dan, do you need me to fly up to be a proper anchor? I'm very good at making other people think they're not as bad off as they are. **BRENT**
