Geneapalozza: A Celebration Of All Things Gene
Oh man wish this would have been this weekend. I have three days off and it's only a six hour drive. Hopefully they don't send me back and I can make MOA 2.

I tried really hard to find a good Cyber Monday deal on a home theater system for my basement TV. Instead I just bought two six packs of beer.

Snow/winter tire experience?
Check. Tirerack does a pretty good job of having combos that fit right. As for the need for winter tires, I have also done plenty of winter driving on regular tires with high torque RWD vehicles without indecent. But now that there is a little more riding on it and I have the means I think it's money well spent if it does prevent an accident down the line.

Snow/winter tire experience?
I plan on pick up snow tire/wheel combos for the MDX soon, probably from tire rack. The stock wheels are 19" and stepping down to 17" and getting a tire/wheel combo is the same price as just getting the 19" tires. It then saves having to have them swapped and rebalanced every time they are swapped. Won't look as nice but it's only a couple months during the winter. I plan on doing the same thing when I get my new car. We had a lot of snow last winter and I didn't have any problem with my all-seasons on the Tahoe or Subaru but I don't want to risk it now with the little one on board.

What are you smoking right now?
Don Peppin Series JJ Salomon in the morning at the Baghdad air terminal and a Cain F maduro in Kuwait. Hopefully will be a R&J petite Churchill on my deck with Kona coffee in a couple days

S4 is pretty much the A4 with a better engine and other goodies. I really wanted the CTS-V but when practicality and price come into play the S4 is a much better choice. When they finally have ECU upgrades the S4 should be close in the 0-60 times, especially in the snow

S4 has the same performance #s plus it's much easier to put a car seat in the rear

The Official Head-Case Photography Thread.
I have one for work. It really is a great camera (in the context of my limited exposure to other cameras) and if it was a Nikon I would purchase one for my self. The only thing I don't like about it is the fact that it doesn't have auto-focus for video.

What did you do today?
Congrats on the new pup Steve.

Haha. We started with a nice Kohler in our bathroom build but ended up having to use an American Standard Cadet 3 do to a lazy contractor that didn't want to move the drain. Not picture worthy yet.

I prefer the darker wood as well. Both Mike's and Al's bathrooms look like they are going to turn out very nice.

The first one of those I bought was DOA but so far so good with another two.

1/16" of an inch behind the magnet? If that's the case you might run into issues with the pole vent. You should shoot for at least 1/2" of clearance behind the vent with more being better. Edit: Looks like the Type Rs don't have a pole vent so you are golden.

Nice Alpine haul. JL should also make a Stealth box for the Dodge. Why no Alpine head and H100 for the Dodge?

Nice, digging the large screen. Does it still feel pocket-able?

Enjoy yours as well. Turns out Directv has 3D content now as well so I will have more to watch that the free BD of Monsters vs Aliens. I can imagine one would duck and cover for the money shots.

In keeping with the TV trend I picked up a Samsung PN50C7000 for the basement living room. On sale at Best Buy and came with "free" BD-C5900 Bluray player and four pairs of shutter glasses. So much for not buying into the 3D hype:palm:
