How is it? Would you recommend it? I was thinking of picking one up this spring/summer
Well, to be honest I have barely used ut. I have the LCD touchbac and it works really wrll with it to use like a more traditional camera. I have not tested it out in water byt ut is very comfortable to hold.
So I get home and I have a $20 off $100 coupon for Cabelas. Figured it was a sign
.
Gotcha, I agree then, made in the Good Ol U S of A
Edit: just went thinking I might order one
Little much for a sweatshirt but i wear them all the time plus it's made in America#
Glad you got the one you wanted to, I've never been to cabelas myself but always wanted to.
Cabelas used to be a once or twice a year trip, something to make a day of. Then they opened one 20 minutes away. It's not as big as the others, but still a pretty nice store.
If it's one of the larger ones its worth a trip. Pretty cool if your into the outdoors.
I think it is I've known people who go for a whole weekend. Maybe in the spring I'll drive out
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.

crazy how Microsoft is giving away the xbox one. Got it when Destiny came out for $400 with Destiny, Madden 15 and a $50 gift card. I beat destiny and it kept having online issues and I complained to the MS store and they told me just pick out a different game. Got FIFA 15
thought I had a great deal 2 months later its get 5 games + $30 gift card at walmart and target for $330. Its not that bad of a system I just don't see that big of a quality increase from Xbox 360 to Xbox One.

I gave away my 360, so I figured I would upgrade
Just purchased a Newgate Time Pill wall clock. I reckon if Apple made wall clocks then they'd look quite similar to this...

Picked up this fully operational G4 cube for a song. I've always wanted one, just because they look so cool, although I'm not sure what I will do with it. I'm tossing up between:
Picked up this fully operational G4 cube for a song. I've always wanted one, just because they look so cool, although I'm not sure what I will do with it. I'm tossing up between:
- Keeping it as it is, and trying to get a matching monitor. Basically as a collectors item. This option could turn into a marriage threatening hobby...
- Modding it with modern hardware, either an Mac Mini, or iTX PC bits
- Turning it into and Aquarium. They do look pretty cool, but it seems like a bit of a waste
Well, so do I.
There are a number of novelty items I am eyeing - all of which are in the deferred expenditure (and deferred gratification) category.
One - and this has been discussed elsewhere - is a La Marzocca GS/3; one (a much more likely purchase) is a Chemex. They are coffee related items, and both would be used if (and when) bought.
One - I spotted over two years ago in a Lufthansa flight magazine and have mulled over ever since - is a Geochron world map & clock ..
I wouldn't quite classify the GS/3 as a novelty item, unless you're a wealthy Saudi oil tycoon!
The light-up coaster came today and Puma is quite fascinated with how they light up too. He keeps staring, sniffing and pawing at them.

What triggers how they light up? Is it timed, or random, or to do with a sensor? I can well imagine how he must be fascinated by them.
On feline related topics, Garfield was handed back to me this evening, resplendent and gleaming. You will, no doubt, be delighted to learn that he is now restored to his throne, and is sitting on top of the sofa in my study, fur gloriously orange, and t-shirt a spotless white, master of all he surveys. For a cat in his twenties, he looks great!
When you push down on it, or set a glass, cup, or mug, on it, it lights up.
Glad to hear Garfield has been restored to the throne of his kingdom!
Ah, fascinating. Yes, I can imagine Puma trying to work it out.
Does it stay lit up, then, when a glass, cup, or mug have been set on it, or does the light fade with time?
