Pacsafe 55L - because I'm a paranoid fuck.

Too late, the black helicopters know where you are and what you are doing.

Refreshed HP dm1z ultra portable with the AMD E-450

WD Elements SE 1TB External USB 2.0 Portable Hard Drive

Nikon 40mm f/2.8 DX AF-S Micro lens

I had some amazon cash and thought this would be nice as a light "all-in-one" outdoor walkaround plus closeup. It seems like a better length than the 60mm (on DX) for everyday use and is a lot cheaper. It probably couldn't do a great 1:1 macro because of lighting but there are many times that I am walking around taking pictures and I would like to take some closeups of flowers (closer than I can get with the 35mm non-micro). Also, the f/2.8 should be ok for outdoor photos. Should be able to take some decent food pictures as well. Plan to still keep the 35mm f/1.8 and 100mm f/2.8 macro that I have of course.

^^ Nice ^^ and for me a silver GLite.

^^Nice, Al's?

I've thought of getting one of these. I am also paranoid.

approve.. I saw the review of this on DRevTV.. and figure it would replace my fixed 50mm f/1.8, but I like the low light usage of the 1.8 (see drinking thread )

I've had one for awhile. I've been paranoid longer.

Yes.

I'm hoping it works well. I've never really had a need for one as I almost never took anything aside from a laptop when I went on a trip/vacation (and I have a lock for that). However, now that I've a got a dSLR setup I'd like to bring along, my paranoia got the better of me, especially when I learned the renal condo we're staying at doesn't have a safe/vault in the main office.

Thanks Jim! Thanks Stretch! and of course, thank you to Deepak for pointing me in the right direction.

Worked well for us while staying at "affordable" accommodations in Europe as well as various camping trips. It has held up well also.

Thanks Jim!

You're very welcome.

Hoped to pick up some more Creole Shrubb and Mandarine Napoleon but the little liquor store didn't have them. Instead, I picked up this bottle of Grand Imperial orange liqueur. Could not find any information on it online but the guy at the store says that it is as good or better than Grand Marnier and it was on sale for $20 (although usually the people at this store are full of shit).

Yeah, I never trust those recommendations at all. Good luck!

Had a little taste and it is actually pretty good. It is a bit sweeter and has a lot less burn than Grand Marnier. It is really easy to drink neat - could be dangerous. I am not sure it would be great in a margarita because it is a little too smooth - will have to try.

Will do.

Four Kumho Ecsta 4X tires for the Miata.

Two round trip tickets LAX to BOS for Mary and my daughter to go college touring. My baby's growing up.

Post like this scares the bejesus out of me.

EDIT - It appears that I can't type for shit tonight.

Seriously man, it seems like just yesterday I was in your and Nate's shoes. Time flys way to f' in fast.

Pants and a pan. And wine.

^ Are you cooking the pants with the wine in the pan?

Nope, making sous vide chicken tikka masala tonight. Might drink some of the wine though. Yes, I think I will at that.

Will do.

Hi Shelly, have you tried Cointreau? http://www.cointreau.us/#header

But you've recently decided to start wearing pants while cooking?

Must've had a bad bacon incident eh?

Miguel, thanks for the suggestion. I have some Cointreau but don't like it as much as Creole Shrubb or Grand Marnier (with Creole Shrubb my absolute favorite in margaritas).
