Die Antwoord show last night. Yo-Landi is as adorable as you'd imagine on stage. Very short show, but very good. There was a song off the new album I wanted to hear but they did most of their good stuff. **BRENT**

Ari, I LOVE that last one. I shared it with a an old bike racer, and a pro photog buddy of mine (from the yoyo world). Both dug it. **BRENT**

I have taken maybe 6 pages of notes the past two years and sign 15-20 checks/yr. I sign my name on receipts and sign and date my monthly review. I love a good writing tool, but I have spent more time reading this thread on an average day as of late than I have writing. **BRENT**

I hate you all. So much. <3 **BRENT**

You are a horrible person, my friend. **BRENT**

I think you would wind up going with a Bluetooth mouse, Nate. It's slightly interesting to me, but only slightly. The resolution at that size should be great. **BRENT**

Shimano 11-speed 105 (5800) groupset for 338$. Pretty crazy deal for anyone in the market. Wish I could justify/swing it. I've looked at 5700 shifters and those are 200ish by themselves. http://www.merlincycles.com/shimano-105-5800-special-offer-groupset-36-52-chainset-12-25-cassette-80109.html?awc=4456_1425943139_fcbe9aaf1b40afe58be7b92f336843ae&source=awUS&utm_source=AffiliateWindow&utm_medium=AffiliateMarketing&utm_campaign=Awin FIxed specification as follows: Chainset: 36/52 172.5mm Cassette: 12/25 Front Derailleur: Braze-On Rear Derailleur: SS Model Chain: HG600 Brakes: BR5800 Bottom Bracket: English STI Levers: Complete boxed set with all brke and gear cables All aftermarket boxed with all instructions and original packaging. **BRENT**

Changed my spark plugs. I had a dead coil recently on 3, so that one looks worse/differently bad. I went to do it when I changed the coil out in January but didn't have a long enough extension. After borrowing one, it was either too cold, I was too busy, or in too much back pain to spend an hour under the hood. Test drive felt favorable and it feels peppy again. Now I'm hoping my mileage goes back up the 7-10 mpg I've been down recently. **BRENT**

Antonio, I wasn't saying to use that as your main solution, I just wanted to check to see if the mobile would work on the same network. I haven't read stretch's link yet but I'm sure it's frustrating. Good luck with it! **BRENT**

No. Install on phone and download the albums you want at home on Wi-Fi for offline use. You can select a tab just for the offline stuff you have downloaded. Try that and see what you think. **BRENT**

Have you tried through phone? I do HiFi downloads over phone and don't usually have issues. Are you using Chrome? **BRENT**

7 inches this morning in my driveway. I thought about parking on the side of the road so I could get in and out if I need to, but I got groceries last night, plenty of stuff to eat cold if we had to. We have tons of blankets and all our devices are charged, just in case. They shut down traffic up and down the mountains at one point (where my mom and a handful of my friends live.) As of last night, with a solid 3-4" on the ground (the MOST we were expected to have), work was delayed until 10am. At 8am, with 7-8" in the lower elevations, and even more at higher, they called off work today. An extra day of hanging out with the kids and playing in the snow works for me. FWIW, with a little snow/a little ice, and some very cold days, the kids have only gone to school for 1.5 days in the past two weeks. Good times. **BRENT**

This is after we went to play in the snow earlier. The car had been cleared mostly off a few hours ago. My driveway is at the bottom of 3 hills. So far, work is delayed 2 hours and school is called off. I don't think I'll be going in tomorrow. **BRENT**

Didn't you ride a 58 the past few years? **BRENT**

Last I heard he loves it! Thanks again. Haven't seen him in a while. He lives 100 minutes in one direction and works 100 minutes in another. We don't get to hang out too often I'm pretty sure that's the same guy, though. Grawk needs to buy that now. He thinks he can fit on a 59. **BRENT**

Isn't that the husband bike that you saw when you helped someone get the wife bike a year or two ago? It looks crazy familiar. **BRENT**

Titanfall for 6$ http://slickdeals.net/share/android_app/fp/146467 **BRENT**

Anyone need to add trays to their roof rack? Yakima Copperhead for 26$ + 5$ shipping. These are normally 100$, or around 70$ on sale. http://slickdeals.net/f/7682832-yakima-copperhead-roof-bike-rack-25-99-5-shipping?src=pdw&v=1 **BRENT** Edit: Just realized it's at Woot, and good for 4 days or until sold out (now that it's hit front page of SD, it'll be sold out.) Since it's 5$ shipping per order, could do 83$ shipped or 3, or 57$ shipped for 2 (if they don't charge tax for you.)

Heh. Maybe I should get that version to keep at work. **BRENT**

Heh. I have a picture/list of when I was in 7th grade. "Ace of Base" was my "favorite band" at the time. This just brought back a fond memory. The same teacher (my science teacher, Eddie Mooneyham, but we called him simply "Eddie" or "Moneyham") once referred to my skin tone as a "built-in tan." I still use that line to this day. **BRENT**

^ What is this system? **BRENT**

It sounded like it happened on it's own, Torpedo... no worries. **BRENT**

Love this thread. I think I got into things because I've played music on and off since I was 7 (piano) and then switched to saxophone (12). I remember having a Sony shelf system with a CD carousel and dual tape deck. It's one of the ones that looked like a stack of real components and real bookshelf speakers instead of the crazy nonsense they got into later. It was great for the bedroom, and I'd have music going in my room all the time, even when I slept. For the go, I remember back in 1990, I had a Sony WM-FX33 walkman. It had a 2 band equalizer and radio, and I loved it. I remember listening with the stock headphones in the backseat of my parents' car. It sounded good when I was 9, but I wanted more, of course. Fast forward to the mid 90s and I $$$ saved up from birthdays/Xmas. I remember going to Service Merchandise and getting either a Sony D-365 or D-465 (whichever one was 200$, b/c 200$ was bonkers in the mid 90s for a 14 or 15 year old, and my mom thought I was crazy.) I wound up getting some Koss Porta Pro Jrs for 20$ (price matched a mistake somewhere else) from Camelot Music, and my mind was blown. I was hearing stuff out of albums I'd never heard before and that's when I realized I was into headphones. I remember the CD player was supposed to get 10-12 hours of battery life off 2xAA, but I would buy the Energizer Lithium AAs which wound up getting 20 hours (was already into throwing $$$ at the problems as a teenager.) I moved on to an Aiwa CD/MiniDisc/tape shelf system that got me into my early 20s where I got into home theatre with a Kenwood 5.1 HTIB which was highly rated at the time. A car audio buddy of mine help me set it up (tape measures, protractors, everything) and that system wound up being better for movies than anything other than demo rooms. i haven't had a 5.1 setup in almost 10 years, and I'm mostly just headphones at work now, but I still love this stuff. I wound up going through "60$ DVD players that compete with 2000$ CD players" phase, and now through some good trades and some goodwill finds, I have some Rega Jura speakers, Wharfedale Diamond 2 bookshelf speakers, a NAD receiver, a Luxman integrated amp, a Marantz tape deck, a Cambridge Audio 640Cv2, and some other stuff. Most of it sits unused, sadly, but Tidal at work is keeping me spinning bits for hours a day, 5 days a week. Hmmm... now I want to hit up some thrift shops for an old Walkman. **BRENT**

It's no Whataburger... **BRENT**
