en480c4 Posted December 30, 2008 Report Posted December 30, 2008 x2... Very nice. I'm in the middle of one myself.
Old Pa Posted December 30, 2008 Report Posted December 30, 2008 'cuda was a 340 with a 650 or 750 cfm 4 barrel carb, 4 speed with pistol grip, Hooker headers and glass packs, traction bars BF Goodrich 50's on the rear, Crane cam and 3400 lb pressure plate on the clutch, forgot what kind. 1968 Simca 1204. Yes, 1204cc was the engine displacement. But the back seat folded down flat. God love the French!
n_maher Posted December 30, 2008 Report Posted December 30, 2008 Old Pa, Any reason you didn't go with an over the range microwave?
Old Pa Posted December 30, 2008 Report Posted December 30, 2008 Old Pa, Any reason you didn't go with an over the range microwave? The Jenn-Aire has a downdraft exhaust fan built in and a recessed flood can above it, so there was no need for an exhaust fan or additional light there. The Sharp RC-1210 is an over-the-counter design with a task light that lights up the kitchen's darkest corner and optional hanging tool bar. Increased my useable counter prep space by about 50%. BTW, microwave ovens have advanced since I bought the one 23 years ago that we replaced in the remodel. Since my style of camp cooking is based upon producing leftovers that are even better the second time around, the "Sensor Reheat" function really works well. Hot ham plate last night (spiral cut glazed ham, green bean casserole, yam cassolet, and au gratin potatoes) last night, Pot Roast plate (chuck roast studded with whole garlic cloves on both sides seared on all sides and then slow braised in Summit Winter Ale with herbed roasted root vegetables and steamed seasoned dressed fresh green beans) for dinner tonight. All leftovers!
grawk Posted December 30, 2008 Report Posted December 30, 2008 Not the best picture, but it's the one I can find . Prior to that remodel, it had been a 70s galley kitchen. I'll see if I can dig up the rest of the pictures.
tyrion Posted December 30, 2008 Report Posted December 30, 2008 Nice kitchens. I think I need to stop buying gear and redo the kitchen.
Old Pa Posted December 30, 2008 Report Posted December 30, 2008 Nice kitchens. I think I need to stop buying gear and redo the kitchen. Not just a nice wet bar on the sidewall of your new drive-in home theater?
tyrion Posted December 30, 2008 Report Posted December 30, 2008 Not just a nice wet bar on the sidewall of your new drive-in home theater? That's what I meant by kitchen. My father in law is the manager of the artistic hardware department at one of the bigger local remodeling businesses (retail/wholesale). I get everything at cost, cabinets, countertops, etc. I need to do this before he retires.

I'm surprised his daughter hasn't ridden your ass about it. Also, be it here resolved: no kitchens in '09.

Dusty Chalk Posted December 30, 2008 Report Posted December 30, 2008 YAEHD (yet another external hard drive) flash drive graphics card memory It appears I was giving them the wrong expiration date.
Sherwood Posted December 30, 2008 Report Posted December 30, 2008 New catalytic converter, new brake boosters, new pads and shoes, new Lifters, new Timing belt, new water pump, new AC fan, and new tires for a car I've only owned for 5000 miles... No food in '09.

naamanf Posted December 30, 2008 Report Posted December 30, 2008 Atom dual core Mini-ITX motherboard. Intel Desktop Board D945GCLF2 - Overview Time to upgrade my carputer.
philodox Posted December 30, 2008 Report Posted December 30, 2008 An iPod Classic 120GB, black. Loving it so far with apple lossless and Jays dJay canalphones. Genius is cool and Coverflow is neat. Sounds quite a bit better than my old Archos and doesn't have a faulty headphone jack, which is a bonus.

Sounds quite a bit better than my old Archos and doesn't have a faulty headphone jack, which is a bonus. I knew you'd succumb to the temptation of the Apple! I rather like the lossles files too. I've got some Klipsch Image X10s coming soon to try out.
Smeggy Posted December 31, 2008 Report Posted December 31, 2008 Gah, I gotta buy a new DAP soon. My Rio Karma headphone socket is very loose and the 'up' volume button is getting flaky. Pity, the Karma is awesome and I refuse to buy a damn ipud!
n_maher Posted December 31, 2008 Report Posted December 31, 2008 Smeggy, find out which DAP Marc (luvdunhill) got. I think it's basically an Ipod touch minus the wi-fi capability and not sold by Apple. It's cheap (like $99) and if it is what it appears to be would make a killer portable source.
