I want one of these sooooo bad but it's hard to justify the sticker price.

I live in a populated area so it's best fit me. I walked into the dealership to buy Street Triple and walked out with the DRZ. Its my fourth bike and having a lot of fun with it.

What year? Haven't seen that color scheme on a drz before, pretty cool!

Others are right, it's a 2016.


The used market lacked options, were heavily modified, or were priced very high at the time I was looking. I purchased it for less than MSRP all in which I thought was fair.

Managed to find a copy of The New Mastersounds "The Nashville Session" on vinyl. I like getting limited pressings and poo poo, but come on, do more than 1000... That just makes it a pain.

Video for anyone not familiar with them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMo8ALy6LSA

They're a jazz/funk fusion band from Leeds, UK. Good, funky, danceable poo poo.
They've played here (New Orleans) multiple times over the past few years, including as recently as a few days ago, but I've never gone to see them because I wasn't familiar with their music at all. But I listened to this, and drat, now I feel like an rear end for missing them :(

They're constantly on tour in the US, so I'm sure they'll be back within a year. Were they playing at Tips or the Maple Leaf by chance? I'd love to see them in one of those venues.

Glad yall are enjoying them. They've been around a long time, but kind of unfairly get lumped in with the jam-band crowd. If you love jam music, no offense, I used to be real big into it, and there are a lot of talented folks out there... but I know a lot of people avoid that genre and any band associated with it. Kinda the same thing that happened with Medeski Martin & Wood.

Replacement batteries for my electric mower. The OEM wants over $100 for their "proprietary" battery pack, but I discovered it's just a couple standard sealed lead acid batteries in fancy case. Got these two for $40 after shipping.

I bought a cleaning service to do a one-off deep clean of my house. They came while my GF was working from home and when I got back I couldn't believe my stupid eyes.

It's better than when we moved in. If we achieve 1% status, we are going to have them do basic cleaning twice a month. gently caress.

Maids By Trade.
It was around $380 for four hours with two cleaners and it was a deeeeeep clean. They did a free consultation a few days before.
To do a standard cleaning with some extras we picked it would be about $160 each time.

It's so, so, so worth it.

I've been thinking of doing this kind of thing for ages.

Do they organize your poo poo too? Because my house is a little dirty, but a LOT disorganized.

After working all day, and doing the single dad thing all evening I just don't have the energy to clean up beyond the basic level of tidy/sanitary. I clean dishes & remove garbage no problem, but poo poo like folding laundry & putting it away, tidying up all the crap I have laying all over the place always gets neglected.

The prior album, "Made for Pleasure" was really good, so is "102%." But really, you can't go wrong with any of them.

Also, the Nashville Session will be released on cd and digital format later in May

They don't do laundry but they will fold all your towels and linens. I'm sure you could tell them they you're a single dad and need help cleaning up all the toys and crap. This particular service was mostly focused on scrubbing, vacuuming and shining. However, they got rid of the new pink mold in my shower that I had bleached and scrubbed to avail.

And actually, a lot of their earlier albums in the mid-2000s (including 102%) have more of an acid-funk type of feel to them, if you're into that.
