�70 although to be fair I use my computer every day - and it is the primary input device. I got 4 years out of my Anywhere MX despite a semi-fixable double click issue for the last 6 months so I think it's worth it.

I've had this mouse for like 2 years and it's absolutely amazing but the battery life sucks. I use it wired half the time when in high performance modes.

I bought a bunch of books because gently caress, I love books.

Three on medieval history and one of embroidery patterns to inspire me on how to tastefully frame the word "swaffelen" on my wall.

Also pisco and rum.

Isn't there a way to extend battery life by halving the dpi? At least that's the impression I got from reviews.

When I was in school in '08 I used to joke about chaining 16 gigs of ram together so i could render and use the computer at the same time, seven years later and it's standard in some laptops. Dinger.

Shartweek: Feb 15, 2003; D O E S N O T E X I S T

I received a long over due pay raise for the promotion I was given last year at work so that combined with my year end bonus means my car (2014 Ford Fiesta ST) will soon be receiving some go-fast and sound-loud bits.

Go fast bits:

Mountune catted down-pipe:

Injen cat-back exhaust (I ordered it with the plain tip, I do not like the burnt titanium look as shown here):

2JRacing cowl induction intake (loud as poo poo but arguably the only true cold-air intake since it doesn't pull from within the engine bay itself):

Boomba Racing short-shifter + transmission bracket kit + bushings:

TurboSmart Kompact Shortie blow-off valve. Doesn't really provide any real performance but it's better then the stock recirculating valve and it sounds a lot nicer than my current truck-like Boomba BOV spacer I currently have installed:

WC Lathewerks shift knob:

Sound loud bits:

.67 cubic foot sealed subwoofer box:

JL Audio 10W0V3-4 10" subwoofer:

MTX Thunder 500.1 mono amplifier for the sub above:

MTX Terminator65 component speakers for the front:

Kicker 41DSC654 2-way speakers for the back:

Amp wiring kit + all other necessary wiring and accessories to install everything above:

Also got 20% tint in the rear windows on Friday, a pro-tune is coming soon after everything is installed. Next years bonus will likely see the addition of a tubular exhaust manifold w/ external waste-gate and a much larger turbo followed by extensive tuning!

Generally you would set the games to 1080p anyway, which is mostly what they're designed to run at so the UIs should be fine.

Suddenly I bought a piano.

photo with my kid, who also suddenly loves to play. He needs lessons:

It is a Yamaha CLP-320 bought new 3 years back by the previous owner who then proceeded to literally never play it. It was now half price to me for a low 400 bucks.

Nice! Mine's a Yamaha YDP-162 and I've been in absolute love with it since getting it a year or two back. I took way too long of a hiatus and became rusty but I'm back to practicing every day.

It's an itty bitty piano :3:

. I didn't even know they made tiny pianos (beyond travel / electronic types).

Some new Knork flatware and steak knives to replace my Ikea crap. Knork is a funny word.

Didn't play for 25 years, so yeah.... I pretend it is for my kids as well.
Now to fill my dream of playing blues. Stupid how you can have a dream like that for 30 years and never act on it. I must be nearing my midlife crisis.

HaB: Jan 5, 2001; What are the odds?

Not pics of my actual things, but most of them are just on order at this point and not yet installed.

For the 67 Impala I posted earlier:

Vintage Air AC system. Thought I would be able to survive without, but Georgia summers disagree. Sure, I can put the top down, and that will move the air around, but the air is freakin HOT. It's like being in a sauna with a box fan blowing.

Custom Autosound stereo. Designed to look like a factory vintage radio, but has Bluetooth/iPod control, and all the modern bells and whistles. Gots to have tunes while you cruisin'

For the bike (2014 Harley Dyna Wide Glide):

Vance & Hines Big Radius Pipes in black. I am slowly removing EVERY piece of Chrome I can unscrew from the bike.

Some 16" Ape Hangers to replace my 12" ones. Fists in the air!

Not pictured:

a King and Queen 2-up seat, which I am having built, since that style seat isn't really in vogue these days. I am trying to go full retro with the bike, eventually, so a King and Queen is a must.

Ouch. My wallet hurts.

On that note - new tires!
