She's his Brompton guru.

No biscuit for Brent!

The Kirk certainly comes fully loaded.

Happy Birthday, Jack! :prettyprincess:

Condolences, Knucks. Living in Santa Maria would make me (more) unstable. @Greg. Why do you assume that the cheetah is a male? Maybe some issues here.

Jacob wants it for a recipe.

What everybody else is saying. Your Kirk looks better with each new picture. Can't wait to see the final one with it completed.

Well, what do you expect when you get a cable from Mikhail?

I bought a Galaxy S4 Active today from Best Buy. Does the group here recommend for or against the extended warranty offered by Best Buy? Typically I don't touch extended warranties but I'm a bit sensitive after having issues with iPhones. Also, could you please recommend a protective case for it. Thanks in advance for your advice.

Here are the results from my appointment at the Apple Store. The Genius quickly decided that the phone was broken and looked up the warranty status. Since this was a replacement for a previously damaged phone, it was out of warranty even though it was under a year old. The Genius immediately attempted to upgrade me to another iPhone. I said no thanks and today bought a Samsung Galaxy S4 Active. Hopefully it will be more robust than the iPhone 3GS phones I had.

Like so many things in life, the list is just somebodies' opinions.

I agree. Your Kirk looks great. I'm sure that you'll have many months of enjoyment with it until you start jonesing for another new bike.

mil-spec gremlins and pixie dust? Jacob is in trouble then. He ate the cookie.

I like mine though I don't listen to them very often. They were quite the value IEM for me.

There's a review of 24 top of the line custom IEMs on InnerFidelity. You might want to take a peek at it.

No wonder they went bankrupt.

Maybe he could give his neighbors headphones.

Justin, are you renting or do you own. If it's the latter, there are some construction things you can do. Otherwise, I suggest that you use your headphones at times when loud music would annoy your neighbors.

Thanks. Replacing broken phones seems to be what an Apple Genius does best. I don't think that there will be a problem.

@ Jacob - I don't know either. I was just wondering. I'll try to remember to ask them in the afterlife. @ Carl - Was it dune all or most of the way to the telegraph office? Maybe the Wrights were so focused on the flying machine that they never gave a thought about what they would do once it flew. Not knowing is one of the reasons I called this an offbeat question. Hopefully other people will have some too.

It says "Speck". Oops, that's the cover. Its Model No. is A1303. After looking it up, you are correct, it's a 3GS. Since I don't know the difference between a 3, 3G and 3GS, it doesn't matter much to me. It does matter to the Genius who will give me a replacement tomorrow, though.

It says "AT&T 3G" on the title bar.

Oops, you are right that it's not an iPhone 3, it's a 3G. Searched the web for this problem. It's well known. The usual fix is a replacement phone. I have an appointment tomorrow.

That's pretty funny, Grahame. 1903 bikes were modern bikes. This site shows that bikes have changed very little since the Wrights' 1898 St. Clair model. Modern sand bikes are basically regular bikes changed to allow very large tires. There's no reason the Wrights couldn't have built one. I'm sure that they could have had big fat tires made. Akron was the world center of tire production in 1903. The Wrights went to Kitty Hawk enough times to recognize the need for a sand bike if it interested them to build one. The video is great. Maybe Brent should buy a sand bike.

This morning I was watching "Wright Brothers: First in Flight", an interesting, historical TV show. I highly recommend it if you are at all interested in flight and/or history. After their first successful flight, they walked 4 miles to telegraph the news back to Dayton, OH. I wondered why they walked. It was 1903 so I can believe that they didn't have an automobile and there probably wasn't a suitable road for one on Kitty Hawk. But why didn't they have horses or a wagon? Then I remembered that they were bicycle builders. So my question of the day is "Why didn't the Wright brothers ride bicycles to the telegraph office?
