You know you're a track junkie when you set up a subscription to have Amazon deliver 12 quarts of oil every 6 months...

I also signed up for what may be our last ever autocross at the Marina airport site. The FAA is not leaning towards allowing this use of the airport next year, despite support from the city of Marina. This is a fun run event.

Finally, I don't recall if I posted it, but I am heading up to Thunderhill (3 mile CCW) with the Audi club next month.

Picked up about seventy quarts of penzoil ultra + mobil one 0w40 from auto zone for $1/qt yesterday for my Audi. Check out your local auto zone since it appears to be nationwide.

The local Autozone store does not sell the 5W-40 full synthetic oil. They do have 5W-30 full synthetic at $9/qt or $35 for a 5 qt jug (and the Autozone near Buttonwillow Raceway had it at the same price - baby was thirsty). My shop wants me to use an oil with a higher base viscosity than Mobil 1 0W-40 because my car is seeing 8-12 track days per year, so Pennzoil is now my oil of choice. Their 5W-40 oil appears to be LL-01 approved.

Along with a Phottix Mitros speedlight, 128GB SDXC, Zeiss 49mm CPL, battery charger and extra battery and Gary Fong diffuser kit. Never thought I'd be switching to Sony after using a Canon 7D for 3 years. The A7II is only slightly bigger than my Canon G11 point n shoot!

To say the FE 55's build quality is out of this world is an understatement.

I did the same, was able to get the a7ii from B&H. My problem is that I bought body only and while waiting I was going to get some used FE glass, but turns out that no one wants to sell their lenses! Was able to snag a 35 2.8 for $600 used, so still waiting to get the other ones (I want the 55, 24-70 most, then will get the 16-35 and the 70-200). IBIS is a game changer for me!

I have a Microsoft Ergonomic keyboard right now. I HATE it. HATE.

So I bought this from eBay. I had one a long time ago and loved it. Does anyone know if you sync an iPhone via the USB ports on this keyboard or no?

I managed to pick up what may be the last new in box 2012 Mac Mini in Auckland at a great Boxing Day sale price :)

It's the base model, which is perfect for what I have in mind for my media centre. It will be mostly used for streaming TV programs from a local provider and iTunes, but may also explore Plex and\or XMBC. 4GB of RAM should be enough, but I wanted the flexibility to add RAM if I want to repurpose it, or my requirements change, so I hunted down a 2012 model rather than buying a 2014 one.

where can i find these, local asian market? How do they taste compared to like a Thai tea?

I uhhh... live in Beijing, China. Every market is a local Asian market :D

This one is made from 煎茶 (a very aromatic, robust green tea). Normally it's more often made with a strong black tea. They're both taste very "tea", and do not have flavorings from fruits or spices. Think iced coffee, but with tea. :p

I got it on steam, but well you get the point. Got it on sale for only $10.09! An absolute steal for a great game!

I think syncing might work, but it can't supply power to phones. Those keyboards do look beautiful when they're not yellow and gross :p

my latest purchase was Dragon Warrior Monsters for my GameBoy Color <3
