2022 Tesla Model S Plaid. What a car. No more ice for me (two CE lights this wknd alone). Tesla nailed it. Very smooth, stupid fast (1020hp, 1050 torques), not a peep inside, good steering and can handle the twisties too. Love it.

Looked at those, but man, the price! Decided I was better off with $400 55" RCA w/Roku and a cover to keep the winter rains off of it. Sitting out in our (very mild) elements under cover of the eaves all summer might well result in its early demise. I figured even if it does I could replace the thing 6 times before I spent the same amount as I would on a similar Terrace. So far it's lasted two years, so we'll see.

Ya I know. It was a splurge, and I had friends who did very similar to you with a less expensive tv that you could buy ten over before a terrace, but they all said not loud enough and glare is an issue. My tv won't see much weather, but where it is with a heavy enough rain water can rush off that roof so did the "buy once, cry once". And I didn't need any kind of sound bar and there is no glare. You can see it at any angle. Texas gets hot, so was worried about overheating too. But two years on an indoor tv that lives outside. That's impressive.

This is my fourth Seiko which includes a modded SKX. They are all very good watches for the money.

Exactly what my father used to say. He was a watch maker/repair guy all his life. He had a lot of watches, Rolex, Omega, Zenith, etc. But his daily was a vintage Grand Seiko from the early 70's.

Damn...nice!

And no need for the 2nd emission sticker on the windshield.

One of those things I never knew I needed. I found the plug, does it need the battery powered extractor? Link? TIA

I use Sonax and really like it. Still require some scrubbing but will remove the majority of build up.

I don't think so, it just needs the hose (I think).

Got a guy here doing more paving brick work. He was removing some topsoil and dirt to keep the new bricks even with the concrete walkway and he accidentally cut into the internet cable for the house. Not his fault. The stupid ISP buried the cable about 2" deep. So I needed to get some tools to splice it back together. Super easy to do if you have the right tools. I slid some PVC conduit onto the line and sealed the splice inside the conduit with silicon caulking. Should hold up fine until we get FTTH here next year.

I'm waffling about going out for a bottle. Didn't get much sleep last night and was on my feet most of today, so I'm beat. But a few snorts would certainly make me fall asleep as soon as I hit the pillow tonight.

Hawkeye · 09-23-2022, 07:33 PM

Tenser custom knife, titanium and carbon fiber handle with Alabama Damascus blade.

Also got a de-chlorinator, water softener and reverse osmosis for the house.

Just think of it as a trip to the pharmacy for a sleep aid.

All set. I was going to grab my usual Jameson and got distracted by P12, which I haven't had in a while. So P12 it is.

Meguiar's Wheel Brightener. Just be careful. It's the most potent wheel cleaner out there. When nothing else cleans your wheels, this stuff does.

Yeah, in 40 years of car care, trying every conceivable product, I haven't found anything that is truly spray and rinse if you want your wheels truly clean. This Meguiars product is the closest thing but it is a very strong acid based cleaner. I use it on cars that are 20 years old where the wheels haven't been cleaned in that long. I would stick with Sonax, Blackfire, Pinnacle, Wolfgang or any "safe for all wheel finishes" product. Pressure washer may be another alternative.

Agree. Megs is strong but nasty shit on the wrong finish. Sonax is great though a little costly. Griots is another good safe on to try
