sixth bottle of Founders Canadian Breakfast Stout...

A nice little Samsung Series 3 notebook. Core i3, 4G, 320G HDD, 11.6" screen.....nice, lightweight, and decent speed. With a coupon, cost $350. This'll be a nice thing to carry around, and use as a music source.....

I bought the demo pair of PSB Imagine Mini here at RMAF at a nice discount. I have till tomorrow to decide if I want to change the walnut finish for piano gloss. What do you guys think?

I'd keep the walnut finish

I'd go with what I prefer, rather than have other people tell me which I want.

Do you want the room to look more like a lounge or a studio/music production facility?

Piano gloss is a pain in the ass to keep looking clean, IMO.

Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner!

Wife picked up this cool shirt for me while she was in Madison this weekend.

Sorry, double post. Weird, got a message saying it couldn't connect to the forum. Actually I think I made a rare triple post!

But the shirt IS pretty cool!

a shirt and a wife so cool, you told us twice

Broke down and ordered an iPhone 4S and a Sena Vista case in brown. The 3GS has served me well but it's time.

I left the order as the walnut finish, because that's what I liked most. I only considered the piano gloss black because they offered the demos to me at the same price as the walnut, even though they cost $70 more. I thought that maybe it would help raise the resale value in case I ever have to sell them later.

I'm also restoring my iPhone backup to the new 4S right now. Looking forward to trying it out soon. I didn't have time to do this before leaving for RMAF on Friday.

Another set of wheels for my lake house bike.

That post would be like Jacob posting "I bought a knife". Details? Carbon fiber, total weight, Campy or Shimano and did you sneak in any SRAM components?

Enquiring minds want to know................

Got a little shipment from The Boston Shaker.

Nice.

~awesome shirt pic~

You're wearing this on Saturday, right?

Oooh, perfect setting for its first outing!

The Whiskey Barrel-Aged bitters are awesome. Had a mini "shot" of them tonight.

Also, I would definitely recommend ordering from the Boston Shaker: good communication, shipped really fast, and packed stuff really well.

Lol fair enough. Just some used Mavic Ksyrium Elites for my oldest bike to replace the stock POS wheels. I have another set that I have used on that bike before and it was truly night and day improvement in ride quality and the price was right to upgrade that bike.

That bike is 9 speed Shimano but otherwise I ride SRAM. I don't think I will ever switch. It works great and identically in the three different levels I have of it.

On a side note the purchase was a bit ill timed wife wise due to the start of saving up to do a one time purchase for my son's college education. Prepaid plans rule but the price difference between paying over time and lump sum is steep here in VA at over 7.5% apr.

Ksyrium/SRAM rules, perhaps some day soon for me as well but we need to kick up our daughter's college fund since the "lump sum funding" plan we put into place years ago would work great for nest year when she enters college..........if the year was 1964.

This made me laugh.

Yeah, we started college funds years ago, but the funding them part has been slow going. Some trusted friends and my accountant said I should max out our retirement accounts way before the kids' college funds. Tax wise, it makes more sense, plus who knows what will happen with college 10-15 years from now... not sure I feel totally comfortable with it, or totally get it, but have been going more that route. Guess we'll see what happens when the time comes!
