skullguise Posted February 19, 2011 Report Posted February 19, 2011 Good stuff all. And thankls Dan for the glass order. Next week, I hope to have a nice pic of my car Vicki, my wife has some nasty foot problems that flair up off and on (Neuroma). She generally can't wear much of any heel. Do you think these SAS shoes/sandals would be good for her? She NEVER has enough shoes....
Jon L Posted February 19, 2011 Report Posted February 19, 2011 sony NEX5 with 18-55mm lens and an extra battery anyone want to buy a sony A230L with tamron 90sp, tamron 28-300, sony 18-55, and minolta 35-70 macro f4 lenses? Wow, you find Sony NEX5 IQ a lot better than Sony A230L or mostly for the size? At any rate, I just picked up the Sigma 70mm Macro lens.

Do you think these SAS shoes/sandals would be good for her? She NEVER has enough shoes.... Yes. There's a store locator on their website. Type in your zip code and see if there is a store near you. She can try some on and see for herself. They're more comfortable than my most comfortable sneakers. I bought my mom their sneakers, and may go get myself a pair as well, though I don't much like white sneakers, and that's all they've got.
cetoole Posted February 19, 2011 Report Posted February 19, 2011 (edited) I've been wanting to buy a multi tool for a while now. The top player is the Fein Multi Master, starting at $190. Next is the Rockwell @ $175, then there's the Dremel at $90. Not being one to waste money on cheap tools, I was expecting to buy the Fein. However, after talking to a sub-contractor recently, who owns the Fein...He told me that one of his guys bought the Harbor Freight Chicago multi tool, and that it's every bit as good as the Fein. The Dremel is absolute crap, and no surprise there, but the Chicago tool is only $59.00. So today I bought one, and for $9.99 bought the 2 year warranty as well. Just take it back for an exchange if anything goes wrong. Haven't yet used it, but I'll keep you posted if it is indeed a bargain at $110.00 less than the Fein.

Steve, that is on sale for $35 right now. Would it be suitable for cutting out IEC holes and stuff in aluminum? It definitely looks cool, I think I might want. Edited February 19, 2011 by cetoole

As it turns out, she literally just bought a pair a few weeks ago, a local store does have them. And she concurs with you regarding the comfort
grawk Posted February 20, 2011 Report Posted February 20, 2011 i'm assuming the IQ is exactly the same. It's all about handling characteristics and size.
shellylh Posted February 20, 2011 Report Posted February 20, 2011 Beds are good... for sleeping and stuff like that.
cetoole Posted February 20, 2011 Report Posted February 20, 2011 Indeed they are, and as I currently don't have one, this will be extra nice.
crappyjones123 Posted February 20, 2011 Report Posted February 20, 2011 (edited) my first ever big boy toy. time to grow up. Edited February 20, 2011 by crappyjones123
Dusty Chalk Posted February 20, 2011 Report Posted February 20, 2011 Nice! Colin -- I thought you had a bed? And if you didn't, what was that that you were sleeping on that looked very much like a bed? And please don't say, "a mattress on top of a bunch of stuff", because I would be very disappointed with my observational skills if it was just that.
crappyjones123 Posted February 20, 2011 Report Posted February 20, 2011 (edited) i sleep on the floor. have been for a very long time. when i injured my back, i was told, "beds are bad for backs but good for hips. the floor is good for backs but bad for hips. pick your favorite body part." seems a wee bit harsh but my lower back starts getting sharp shooting pain when i lie on most beds now. perhaps its because of a crazy lack of support compared to the floor. i dont know but i do know that the floor is much more comfortable. Edited February 20, 2011 by crappyjones123
Dusty Chalk Posted February 20, 2011 Report Posted February 20, 2011 I have to admit, some of the most comfortable I've ever been is sleeping on the floor with not much more between me and it than an exercise mat. Of course, it was embarrassing that the guy who ran the fitness center had to wake me up.
crappyjones123 Posted February 20, 2011 Report Posted February 20, 2011 2 tickets to go see these guys in april. just found out they playing about 30 minutes north of school. http://turtleislandquartet.com/
cetoole Posted February 20, 2011 Report Posted February 20, 2011 Memory foam? Yep, and rubberwood. Nice! Colin -- I thought you had a bed? And if you didn't, what was that that you were sleeping on that looked very much like a bed? And please don't say, "a mattress on top of a bunch of stuff", because I would be very disappointed with my observational skills if it was just that. A blanket on top of a bunch of stuff. I had a bed, someone done stole it. And by someone, I mean my parents, yesterday.
tyrion Posted February 21, 2011 Report Posted February 21, 2011 Hario V60 Ceramic Drip Cone coffee brewer and a Stowa Flieger No Logo.
boomana Posted February 21, 2011 Report Posted February 21, 2011 Damn, Mikey. How many watches did you pick up this month? You really have to meet my brother. You two would get along.
tyrion Posted February 21, 2011 Report Posted February 21, 2011 I bought 5. I will likely sell my Stowa Flieger with date and logo and keep the one I just bought without date and logo. I would like to meet him but he is into bigger and better, as in pricier watches than I am.
VPI Posted February 21, 2011 Report Posted February 21, 2011 I am just watching for Mike's sell off as I need to restock the watch cases.
tyrion Posted February 21, 2011 Report Posted February 21, 2011 I will be selling from time to time on Watchuseek (mbakes). First one up will likely be the Stowa Flieger I had in MOA.
VPI Posted February 21, 2011 Report Posted February 21, 2011 I tried Watchuseek but spend more time on Watchnet.com. I am planning some big purchases in the near future so I have been hanging out shopping all weekend.
