Grahame Posted October 16, 2008 Report Posted October 16, 2008 Thanks for picking up all those goodies, Grahame! I will bring a few things too, but let me know if you think of something in particular. Folding Table?, extension leads? and if your are coming from Fairfax, maybe some of Scoops finest?
Voltron Posted October 16, 2008 Report Posted October 16, 2008 How about a couple folding tables and a few chairs? Scoop it is.

krrm Posted October 16, 2008 Report Posted October 16, 2008 Looks neat but what do you do with such an air gun? Just for training, we have a couple of similar guns at work, and I discovered that it was mighty fun to shoot with such a pistol. The big deal with air guns is that you can use them almost everywhere. what does it shoot? It shoots this kind of pellets: It is a 4.5 mm, so the ones from the front row will fit.
Hopstretch Posted October 16, 2008 Report Posted October 16, 2008 Four new 235/65R17s. Not the most fun way to spend that kind of money, but at least it's immediately apparent they are much better than the original tires which came on the car.

jinp6301 Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 groceries and flashlights for getting drunk in the dark tomorrow in a corn maze
swt61 Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 Supposedly a Limited Special Grade 1 version of the Zu/DL-103 (a modified Denon DL 103). I'm hoping it arrives in time for the Houston HF meet.
mirumu Posted October 19, 2008 Report Posted October 19, 2008 One of the new 1.5TB Seagate hard drives.
philodox Posted October 19, 2008 Report Posted October 19, 2008 A Zu cartridge Steve? I hope it is awesome, but I'm a bit leery of that outfit personally...
aardvark baguette Posted October 20, 2008 Report Posted October 20, 2008 One of the new 1.5TB Seagate hard drives. I'm thinking of picking up a couple of those mahself.
Salt Peanuts Posted October 20, 2008 Report Posted October 20, 2008 Nugget Audio Duet cable and Sewell FireWire repeater.
Augsburger Posted October 20, 2008 Report Posted October 20, 2008 Fortyeight dollars worth of sushi just for me. Lesson learned, never order sushi when you have spent the whole day at a meet and haven't eaten for thirtysix hours. And NEVER order sushi when you are hungry and have had a lot of the large Sapporo beers!
grawk Posted October 20, 2008 Report Posted October 20, 2008 $48 is cheaper than I've ever spent on sushi for myself, I think, unless it was just a couple of pieces as an appetizer . There was a week in 99 when I dropped just north of $2k on sushi in a week (bought for my parents and my wife's, in 2 trips to the sushi bar )
guzziguy Posted October 20, 2008 Report Posted October 20, 2008 Stacy and I did a $400+ shopping spree at the Beverage Warehouse in LA yesterday. Highlights are: btl of Black Maple Hill Rye 23 yr old. 8 btls of Russian River Brewing Co. "Pliny the Elder" 3 Lucid Absinthe sets with glasses. 2 are for friends, 1 for me.

Lesson learned, never order sushi when you have spent the whole day at a meet and haven't eaten for thirtysix hours. And NEVER order sushi when you are hungry and have had a lot of the large Sapporo beers! I've never spent that much on sushi in one sitting even under the influence of Sapporo. That said I'm more of a oyakodon, sukiyaki and okonomiyaki man myself. With Japanese restaurants it's the sake bill that tends to hurt my wallet most.

Though I might be a bit out gunned I will give it a shot.
grawk Posted October 20, 2008 Report Posted October 20, 2008 I wish I could, I'm way too poor for that these days. And I'll most likely make the LA national.
Augsburger Posted October 20, 2008 Report Posted October 20, 2008 Well we will make sure there is a Glenrothes welcoming committee for you if you make it.

Voltron Posted October 20, 2008 Report Posted October 20, 2008 They arrived! Yay Nate! DOTU Bi-Wire Shorties are now hooked up to the Harbeths and are showing a nice improvement in separation, extension and detail over the single pair with crap jumpers. Thanks again Nate, these are awesome.
guzziguy Posted October 20, 2008 Report Posted October 20, 2008 am i one of your friends? Yes, if you come to the next National Meet in LA. I'm sure we can have an appropriate welcome gift for you.
guzziguy Posted October 20, 2008 Report Posted October 20, 2008 beat me up and toss me in a dumpster? Actually, it involves bicycles. Velogreg would be in charge.
