I had to remove the air box and battery tray on my Fit. Piece of cake as long as nothing is too rusty. Holy poo poo you guys have concerts happening in November already? I was looking at Scorpions in March and I thought there's like a 70% chance it'll be postponed. I still have my Maiden tickets unused that I bought in 2019 lol.

I'm hoping that if Sleaford Mods end up doing another north american tour my tickets for that will still be good but not holding my breath. But yeah, some people are doing shows again. Thread content: I just ordered this reactive load power amp/attenuator for some cool rack preamps I have but haven't been using because they're kind of a PITA to set up and use in my apartment. I'm also hoping it will tame a vintage fender bassman I have that goes from 0 to permanent tinnitus with the smallest turn of the volume knob.

I nearly went to a Struts concert not long ago and one of the band members ended up having covid. Glad I didn’t go. Anyway, I bought a hideous artifact from the 00s. AND it’s reversible! Black for when I feel emo, white for when I feel hipster.

Coffee And Pie posted:I nearly went to a Struts concert not long ago and one of the band members ended up having covid. Glad I didn’t go. That's hilarious because last year we went to a Struts concert in Pittsburg when they were doing the drive in shows, under the guise that would be something relatively safe. Speaking of shows, we bought tickets to see the Passion of Dracula over at the Tecumseh Amphitheater! We saw them perform Sleepy Hollow in 2019 and 2018, which were some of the best live performances we've ever been to. Actors basically lead the crowd around the base of the mountain, to the lake behind the stage, and then to a covered bridge where they had the headless horseman chase down Ichabod. Super stoked to head there tonight!

I guess I'm not the only one that's finally buying concert tickets again. Saw them together at the same venue several years ago (with Ghost) and am very excited to see them again, despite Opeth not putting anything interesting out since then and Mastodon continuing to kick rear end. Probably 7th or 8th time seeing Mastodon and about the same for Opeth.

I have an infant so I can't go to shows for a myriad of reasons. I did buy a Cherry Sundrop Slushee from the gas station up the road and some meat to grill. drat good meat counter there for some reason.

I basically never drink soft drinks at home, but they were 4€/6 so I bought some blood orange lemonade, and one can of Rio Cola just out of curiosity. 3D Megadoodoo has a new favorite as of 12:59 on Oct 4, 2021 |

I went to an old timey diner the other day and got a classic chocolate soda. I don't like soda normally or even sweets but goddamn it was incredible.

Someone posted a Seiko tabletop watch a while back. I wanted a white one but they were out of stock at the time and I didn't bookmark the page. I went back about 20 pages and seem to have missed it. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

I searched for watch and clock and seiko and had nil luck with anything that could be a take top clock. Maybe a different thread?

Nearly all quartz alarm clock annoyingly tick to some extent but this probably won't? My favorite marathon clock is a seiko. I bought this as a gift and it's as cute as you think it is irl. It only has a permanent dim backlight when you plug it in, it runs on batteries otherwise and the backlight lights up when you hit is. It doesnt do multiple alarms either. It was in the watch thread.

Hey if you want to call it your "oscilloscope" I ain't gonna judge, but I'm seeing a serious lack of flared bases on some of those so just please be careful okay? For content, yesterday I received my 2nd order of Goose Creek candles ever since they were talked up earlier itt, and they are so wonderful. Been getting just random stuff that sounds like it would smell good and haven't really been disappointed yet. California Coast and Cabin the Woods are probably the standouts so far

skooma512 posted:How much work was it to get to the shifter cable bushings? Here’s an update. Took me longer to open the installation instruction PDF on my phone than it did to install the bushings. If I’d had a factory intake airbox in the way it would have taken maybe 15 more minutes. These are super nice bushings, but I’ve yet to take it for a test drive to see the difference.

Welp, I'm one of those assholes who bought a COVID puppy now. He's an Alaskan Klee Kai, turned 4.5 weeks old yesterday and had his first vet visit. The vet is pretty sure he's going to have two blue eyes when he's a bit older. We won't get to take him home for a few more weeks yet, but I'm excited My green cheek conure and Western hognose both bit the dust last year within a month of each other (the bird suddenly out of nowhere, for no discernable reason; the snake had a chronic illness). The house has been way too quiet this last year without them I never thought my husband and I would adopt a mammal, but here we are!

Cute pup. I got one of the new iPhone pros by way of the trade in insanity going on these days (not planning on changing carriers anytime soon so may as well take advantage). It’s quite nice; the variable refresh stuff makes things feel oh so smooth.

I asked about wallets earlier and I ended up buying the original soft shell SlimFold wallet. I have a weird amount of cards, so I needed something that can hold them all and they fit perfectly. The cards are a little snug, but day one has been really good. I don't travel internationally as much as I used to, but it'll definitely fit the biggest bills I've seen. I'm real pleased with how thin it is, too. A little wider than I thought it might be, but it fits fine in my pants and that's what really matters.

The house has been way too quiet this last year without them I never thought my husband and I would adopt a mammal, but here we are! You might be aware, but if not, that's just kinda how birds and a lot of other small pets tend to go. They will hide injury and illness until it's too late to do something about it. Had a cockatiel who was active, flying whistling eating, one day and dead the next. Probably just old age (he was old), but might have been ill . I still miss him though, he was amazing. He picked up "go to cage to poop" without any real direction from us . Also had a rabbit who had an impacted colon that we didn't catch until it was too late because she was also still active and eating until intervention was no longer possible. I know what you mean about too quiet. The cockatiel was a great whistler and he always got real excited when I got home from work, flyin around and whistling. It was really hard for a while to not come home to that

It’s going on 4 years now and it’s basically indestructible. Before that I had a slim sleeve and it lasted 5 years before I decided I wanted something more spacious (and a different color). Great company.

I've had my belroy for at least 7 years. It still looks great and functions flawlessly. I don't think I'll ever need to buy another wallet at this rate but if I do it'll be a belroy.

Just got my oven steels from Misen. I know you gotta package stuff but it was still cute seeing them blue bagged, in their own cardboard boxes, in an over carton. No pics because they're sheets of carbon steel but I bet they'll work, they are surprisingly heavy at 13"x10"

It just sings with my Mesa Studio pre. So good.
