Happy Birthday!

Wrong, you're looking for a different forum.

How has there been more than one post in this thread without a Jerry Harvey reference? Have we slipped so far?

Uh, say what now? Sounds like an interesting first semi-date.

Shit, piss and corruption. Quite literally.

Saw that a little while ago and thought, "Tango and James and Lundahl, OH MY!"

Nice! I want to tiny the GTI as sell to help deal with the black interior, hot as balls in the summer issue.

Excellent news, Marc.

I had to go back down to Boston today to observe some final systems tests at the Constitution's dry dock. On the good news front, the dock is still dry. Bad news, the system in question failed its preliminary test before I even got there. But, not one to let a good opportunity to go waste, I took a quick walk around and tested the camera on the iPhone 6. It'll do. Sounds like I'll be back down there Monday to see if we can achieve "all systems go" status and I'll try to remember the D7000 w/ a wide angle lens.

Dan, If you end up deciding to just sell the 800 drop me a line, I might be interested. This (http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-2015-Garmin-Edge-Touring-Plus-GPS-Computer-010-01164-00-/161723739103?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item25a77c6bdf) looks like a decent deal on a new plus.

I wonder Jeff, reading what you're writing, if an exhaust wouldn't solve most of your issues. What I suspect is that the Audi is simply masking what is actually going on and not giving enough visceral feedback. And an exhaust shouldn't void a warranty. The S4 shouldn't need more power, period. In an ideal world they still would have been making it with the V8. I think that car may have suited you better.

RIP

The A4, especially with the S-Line package looks nearly as nice and costs a lot less. If speed is a must you can tune the Audi 2.0T to very respectable levels of power without much risk of damage. Most would argue that something in the low 200's doesn't require that but...

Weird. It works totally fine on the iPad. But yes, it's Gmail and no, restarting the phone didn't help. Grr. Now seeing if deleting the account and re-adding it works as suggested by theGoogle.

Ok, first real annoyance. Mail refuses to fetch new messages without opening the app. This was working fine but changed at some point last night or during the day today so I'm hoping a reboot will fix it. Still, not expecting this type of bugginess for a native Apple App and my iPad has (to the best of my recollection) never done this. I checked to make sure that Push is turned on and it is. That should be the only setting that matters, right?

Wut? Sounds better, possibly, looks better? Not a chance. I saw two S4's this weekend and reminded my wife that at some point one will be parked in our driveway again. I'm actually trying to talk to an indie mechanic this week to get a feel for options for non-dealer service. Gotta plan ahead, doncha know.

Thanks.

Ok, help the idiot with the new iPhone figure out how to "swipe to delete" in mail. I thought I knew, but under Setting/Mail/Swipe Options, my only choice is to "Flag" a message or None, which is not at all what I want.

This. JFC Larry, I assume that you bought the watch to wear it so do just that. If the band gets scratched, so what? If you bought the watch to just look at and keep as pristine as possible then put it away and never put it on your wrist.

Not exactly my cup, but I'm happy you're happy Larry.

I think that's how I characterized those cables many years ago and I strive for consistency in my loathing of that manufacturer's products.

Fixed. At least it's not dog-pecker-pink like Jena Labs. That's as close to a compliment as I can get.

That stock cable is awful.
