Box store mower I bought in 2009 finally kicked it - deck rotted out where the engine bolts on. New mower!  EGO 21" lithium-ion powered mower from Home Depot. Just got done mowing, I can do about 80% of my almost 1 acre lot on a full charge of the 5 AH battery that came with it, with time to full charge just a hair under an hour. I'm thinking I might pick up a leaf blower or line trimmer with the 2.5 AH battery to supplement this one vs. another ($200) 5 AH battery as I originally planned. I was initially skeptical of the side discharge chute - it merely redirects the same chute that discharges into the bag and sticks out the back - but after using it today not having to deal with the side discharge attachment sticking out to the side is really convenient. The deck is 100% polymer and without a heavy gasoline engine its noticeably lighter than your average push mower. Quiet too - without anything to cut it just sounds like a box fan running at its highest setting.

Was bored and wanted a project, plus future Dr. Mrs. Ransom and I figured we'd start biking to work a few days a week since we live really close to the university where we both work. So I bought a pair of super cheap beat up old bikes. They both looked like this.  After a bit of work, its mate now looks like this.  Still need to buy a crankset and install the single speed conversion and add rear brakes I guess, but hell of an improvement, right?

obi_ant posted:drat bro, they're $179. Well... $250 for polarized. Not that ridiculous when you consider that polarized Ray-Bans retail for $200. That said, they were $209 on Amazon, plus I had ~$75 in Amazon gift cards that I was saving for a treat. So it was more like $135 out of pocket. Either way, I'm happy to pay a little extra for American-made goods that I expect to last me a long time. Plus, I live in a very sunny climate (brag), so I'll be using them pretty much daily. I am not a rich man or a designer brand whore, I just wanted some high-quality sunnies with a good warranty. Trabant posted:And absolutely worth it. Hell, even a steal at that price. I've had a pair for about 5 years now and they make most RBs feel flimsy. Couldn't agree more. I'm mad at myself for ever buying Ray-Bans in the past, but I'd never heard of Randolph until like a year ago. I'm starting to realize that a lot of the best companies to buy from don't advertise. (Also Don Draper wears RE's in Mad Men, so now I'm as cool as him.) Argyle has a new favorite as of 01:50 on Apr 27, 2017 |

spookygonk posted:Nice house, much land with it? I don't even remember. A lot bigger than I had before. In fact I had a plug-in mower before and unless I want 200' of cable to run over I better look into that fancy battery mower Geoj posted. But basically the back yard is like 10 feet wide, and that photo is probably taken 15 feet in from the street, so not huge. But that retaining wall will be perfect for me to build a snowboard jump off if it ever snows again. If not I guess my mountain bike will do.

A Blue Yeti USB microphone, in silver. To be used for Skype/Google Hangouts/podcasting. Some weird rear end Power Ranger looking motorcycle shoes. (TCX Rush WP)

Speaking of which, I have a really heavy and sturdy little desk mic stand, but I finally gotta buy an actual scissor arm mic stand with my current recording setup. In my last apartment, I could hang the mic from an above shelving bracket in my recording booth, but my current space doesn't have that as an option. I do have a lot of pipes along the wall and ceiling, so I think that'll work for this. Anyone have any good recommendations? Looking on Amazon, and these are way cheaper than they were ten years ago. Like, I remember then the cheapest of them were 120+. He're four of them under 20. Etubby, B-Qtech, InnoGear, and NEEWER. Some of these even come with an extra pop filter which is neat in case mine ever dies. Anyone have any experience with these? I'm assuming the little clip it comes with contains the detachable threaded bolt for the shock mount? betterinsodapop posted:Thanks! Looking forward to testing it out when I get home tonight. It's not gonna matter for, like, chatting/gaming and stuff, but if you wanna get at all interested in recording/podcast kinda stuff, the most important thing to do is to treat your mic space. Good mics will pick up everything. Mick Lauer did an awesome little video on the difference treating can make. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r90Xy9eIU8E Aramek has a new favorite as of 21:14 on Apr 27, 2017 |

New (to me) car to pull the new (also to me) camper I just bought. 2014 Ford Explorer Limited AWD. Trying to figure out what was wrong with this thing, despite the inspection and everything it's looking perfect. 40K miles and only cost $25K. Loving this so far.

It's taken a couple of months (mixed in with other house stuff) but the built-in, which I emphatically didn't build, is done. I thought the coloured LEDs were going to be chintzy and left at "warm white" forever, but I love that every time I look at it it's a different set of colours. It's like a huge piece of art!

 New MacBook Air for garage band, and iMovie projects, and web surfing on the go. But way more excited about Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and racing people from around the world in the palm of my hands.

Pretty much anyone still talking about GWAR in 2017 is but it doesn't matter because in music liking, the biggest posers are the ones who actually care.
