I figured USPS media mail....

Nice mine gets here Tuesday according to the tracking number

Happy Birthday!

It is frigging awesome. You can literally grab a robot, rip its arm off and beat it to death (recall it) with the arm. Note if you don't want to rip your cable out of your goggles when diving to dodge bullets it's a good idea to have some cable management: adjustable dog leash for the win: I almost wrecked my goggles....

Robo Recall on Oculus and Touch (Unreal Engine) is incredibly awesome.

We settled for $1500 for the diminished value claim. I'm pleased and will likely roll that into the OZ Ultraleggera super light autocross wheels. Edit: it appears that Enkei has just released even superlighter wheels that are cheaper. 15.8 lbs.

Happy Birthday!

As requested. Really impressed with the Chanel. It arrived today after a bit of delay for the duties.

Happy Birthday!

^ what he said.

Brent has already negotiated price on my hand me down 980ti don't go undercutting me....

Yeah we have one in every vehicle we own including the boat.

It does appear though that a FE card will fit and pre-order opens tomorrow morning... First SCCA race in iracing is tonight but I'm not sure I'm ready with no practice in the car beyond some messing around. The in game physics seems excellent to me.

Argh 1080ti has arrived. I wonder if it will fit in my case....

Congratulations to Andrew and his parents

I think I said 8-10 days, turned out it was 5.

Nice! That watch is way cool. And yes I do remember that bus, and my ignorance. I'm loving the double number system on the GS so I can set the inner ring to GMT and change time zones quickly with the outer. Used it yesterday to allow me to set CET and keep track of when bike races are estimated to finish. My wife's watch should be here Wednesday.

Happy birthday!

Grilled chicken marinated in BBQ sauce overnight. First grilling of 2017. So tasty

I saw a few posts saying this stuff was even more gentle. Worked great for me.

That really sucks Juan. OEM glass is expensive but very good. That said I've done Safelite twice and been happy (though I did have an issue they needed to fix one time). Just make sure that they are giving you glass with the same blacked out areas, and transition pattern. I should remember the real name for that black application because I read an article about it a few weeks ago but I don't.

Wheel selection is limited for 17x8 with 48mm or 55mm. Bunch of people run the Moda MD18 in GS and like it. I talked to Brian for a price on the OZ but he's not cost competitive and would not be able to mount the rubber (shipped from separate places). So mounting would be on top.

Nope but you can dip it in glitter

So I'm waiting to hear back from the insurance on my diminished value claim. The valuation came back at $2.7k but I doubt they will give me that. I'm hoping they give me enough to pay for some autocross upgrades. My dilemma is do I get the ridiculously light OZ Ultraleggera or do I get Moda MD22 and Koni adjustable dampers for the rear (not available for the front). The tires will be Bridgestone RE-71R which are the kings of Autocross.

After doing some reading I decided to give Mother's Mag and Aluminum Polish a try to see what it did for that micro scratch. I figured it was $6 and a spare link. Turns out, that in the intervening wearing between ordering and arrival, I had put a 2 fairly visible scratches in the mirror ring between the bezel crystal and the face crystal. I rubbed them with the polish for 3 applications with the tip of my finger for maybe 10 seconds each time and they are now basically invisible. Very happy with the outcome. Don't think that I will continue to do this but but I am happy to have my shiny newness back for a few days.
