  1. Mine just came in. Any tricks on comfortably inserting and removing them? Kind of hurts pulling them out. I think the left one might be a bit too big/tight to begin with.
  2. Congrats! Mine should be here today. Review to follow with minute by minute burn-in impressions. Not.
  3. Picked up the new car today. I must say I am almost over whelmed on what it can do. I really don't look forward to trying to teach it all to the wife. After driving it 200 miles today I can tell you I will never get a car without adaptive cruise. Love it.
  4. I thought that was dinner for my dog. I guess I need to catch up with the times.
  5. Can I get a new car with a hole to stuff carrots into instead of gas so I can be environmentally friendly? Hello and goodbye.
  6. Clear. Wanted to keep them low key.
  7. They received my impressions on Monday and I just got the shipping notification! Can't wait.
  8. Belated happy birthday to a fellow fishy! Now drink up.
  9. Notice that car was for the wife. I still have to get a new one when I get back from iRaq;)
  10. Coming from a Tahoe it is. Feels like I'm driving a Smart Car. I did the math for the 450h and you would have to keep it for 10 years to break even on that gas assuming you didn't need to replace the batteries by then. It does have cooler LED headlights though, and you can move it around under electric power only. I liked the Q7 but it's tech was a bit weird. I like it's height adjustable suspension. For some reason most of the Audi sales people are euro wana-be douches and give me a bad vibe and I hear horror stories about their service department.
  11. Just about everything in that size category. Audi Q5 too small, Audi Q7 doesn't really compare price wise. Cadillac SRX too small and has a horrible blind spot. I really liked the dash layout though. Infinity-Not enough cargo room on all but the QX56, with the QX being too large Lexus RX350- Nice ride but a bit on the small side. Third row and larger size on MDX a plus Lexus GS460- Bigger size a plus but to much like a truck Lincoln MKX not bad but they are totally redoing it for next year. MKT cool car but just too ugly Porsche Chayenne Best driver of the bunch (no shit) but you don't really get much else. Wife actually really liked it and said we could get the Turbo S if I drive her old Subaru. One of the most tempting deals she has ever made. But I hate the Subaru. Volvo XC90 The car we were originally going to get. Pretty much the same car for the last 8 years. All around not bad but again they have not kept up with the times Didn't really consider the Merc or BMW. We loved everything about the MDX except the looks. It's growing on us but I still think there is better looking vehicles out there. We also came to the conclusion there is no perfect vehicle (almost like buying a house). As nice and loaded as the MDX is it still isn't perfect. Three big things missing for me is no rain sensing wipers, still uses a key to start, and no On-Star. Not deal breakers but I think the first two should definitely be included.
  12. Now that it looks like I will be in the JH-13 club I need to figure out what to power it. Pico for the time being but something with toobs would be cool. Being low impedance/high sensitivity might be tough though.
  13. Ear impressions JH-13:prettyprincess:
  14. Exactly what I though. I had a kit lined up right before I came back from Iraq but other things got in the way. If it is what do you think of it? Edit: I guess Gedlee Nathan would give it away:palm:
  15. I request Iraq Jam 2010 with cases of TNP para-dropped by the Swedish bikini team.
  16. Happy Birthday! Two more days and you would have been swimming with the fishes.
  17. I did. Well actually Home Depot did it for me. They just left it out for a week or so during our winter months. It's gets wicked cold here. I would have but he won't answer my PMs anymore after I pretty much told him he was an idiot and everyone sees through his BS. I guess I will have to make my own educated purchases with out being able to confer with the Douchey-Lama himself.
  18. 1000ft 12-2 romex, 100 rough in boxes, twist caps, and a couple boxes of staples. Wiring time. Yuck.
  19. It's in the secondary with 7oz of hops floating at the top. Should be ready by Sunday. Talk about a hop bomb. Made a saison yesterday with 10lbs of grain, 1lb candy sugar, 2 oz of hallertuaer for 60 min, and 1oz Styrian for the last 2 minutes. Pitched with some Belgium ale yeast. For the yeast I made a started last week and had it in the fridge waiting. Before I pitched it I tried a bit of the beer from the starter. I can definitely say that the flavor associated with Belgium beers can be attributed to the yeast. Sadly it look like this will be my last batch for a year:(
  20. Yeah I meant the III. It's going to be so last month next month anyways.
  21. Made a Pliny the Elder clone today. 10oz of hops in the boil and 7 more waiting for dry hopping. 13lbs grain in the mash. First time using the Brewtroller with temp probes. Realized that the way I was reading temps before was giving me the wrong reading. About 10 deg low:palm: Got it right though and boiled 8.5 gallons of wort. Ended up with 5.5 gal in the fermenter and .01 low on the OG. I guess I need to work on my sparge.
  22. Buffalo II, IVY II, 2 X Placid PSs, two transformers.
