You're right, and I didn't mean to intentionally poo poo on your purchase. Have fun.

I bought a case of the best drat low carb snack I've found yet. They're perfect for my hour+ runs and bike rides and delicious too.



I think I'm gonna try something like that because that looks delish

Oh drat, I didn't realize that came out already.

Snagged it myself, though I've been getting the family sigil versions from Best Buy, so I had to keep that trend going:


BestBuy.com says they're sold out of Martel and Tyrell, though. Would have preferred either of those:

(I've already got Targaryen, Lannister, and Greyjoy from previous seasons.)

He makes tons of money with monkey cheese and internet culture humor. That seems to infuriate some goons who wish they had this idea themselves.

This is really hard to justify when I paid $5k for my 2002 Accord 3 years ago. 4% of paid value on floor mats, probably 5-6% with it's value now. They do look awesome though.

I got my sister's old Canon EOS Rebel for Christmas, so I figured I should get some things for it.

Spare batteries.

Compact Flash adapter so I can use the MicroSD cards from my Contours.

I'm glad you got the EXTREME version...seriously, if it wasn't for the fact that microSD didn't exist back then, I'd swear that was from 1998.

I'm also curious how that works...is it like a RAID array? You get the total space between the two mSD cards, but you're basically forced to only read and write to the cards if they're in that enclosure?

I'm cheap but I justified it to myself that we bought our first ever new car, and we have two kids. It should probably be mandatory. I was tempted to get the trunk liner too, but we'll save that for another time.

On the bright side you could probably resell your weathertech mats when you get another car.

According to someone who answered a question on Amazon it treats it like a RAID 0 array and you get the sum of the two cards' capacity.

I'm not knocking them, I'm sure they're fantastic for what they do, I just think they're complete overkill for where I live.

I just dropped $400 on bike repairs and a pretty nice wheelset upgrade on my winter bike, as I had ridden it to poo poo and it was falling apart. Here's everything I had done

new cables (brakes and derailleurs)
derailleur adjustments
new rear tire
new chain
new cassette
spoke adjustments
new bar tape
new wheelset (DT axis 1.0 -> 4.0)

I spent too much money on a custom shirt with my dog on it from a semi-famous dog artist because it was my birthday and they were on sale and my dog is awesome.





Also a $570 dental extraction then a couple weeks later $22 worth of clindamycin for a tooth socket infection because my awesome dog is a trainwreck. It came with a free dog tooth though (some assembly required).

Speaking of cars, I got the tire pressure gauge of tomorrow. We take car mats seriously around these here parts. I'm in Florida so you don't really need an all-weather type of car mat. But I gotta get something in there, those coffee stained pieces of poo poo gots to go.

Well if you're a hardcore enough alcoholic it's always 5:00 somewhere.

But really, what other category would you put a beer in that has coffee and chocolate as its primary flavor notes?

If it's your first time drinking an IPA or you don't really drink many IPAs it's not terrible. If you've had good IPAs though it doesn't measure up.
