Nice Truck! I have been wanting a Ford Raptor for ages, but the budget for one has eluded me to this day! LOL.

Ever thought of a pre-owned Gen 1? Did an off roading trip yesterday and one of my buddies just picked up a very lightly used 2013.
 
Not my image but yep, just set up my new Dell U2716DG. It's got Gsync, 1ms panel response time and runs at 144Hz. It's a TN panel, replacing my IPS U2715H but I really needed better than 60Hz and after calibration, it looks pretty good.

My new Birds-In-Flight camera setup


This year I plan on doing some serious birds in flight photos and the first step is buying a solid tripod and gimbal. When the weather gets better I plan on renting the Sony 400mm 2.8 lens to see how I like it before I purchase it. Though I think I'll be able to get great photos with the Sony 100-400mm lens.

Here's a picture that was handheld using that lens ->

Never used a gimbal. My 200-500 could do with one!

So I saw a video that shows lady gaga has problems with pain and spasms like sciatica.... She has a physical massage person pull and stretch her muscles to help relieve this. Also if you have a desk job, consider investing $500 into a good standing desk. I also stopped keeping my keys and wallet in back pockets (if you are a guy)

I have changed my desk set up, started using my Apple Watch to remind me to stand every hour, and also doing a lot more stretching.

The biggest thing is I just splurged for a Tempurpedic mattress which I think will be a huge upgrade as well. Excited for delivery.

Thanks for the info.

Bought this little jewelry cleaner off amazon. Works great and highly recommended.

Radeon RX 580 8GB with Akitio Node EGPU. Spent like $200 total for both of these. Amazed at the improvement of games and 4K video editing has been on my MacBook Pro 13!

Nice! I use the same monitor with my gaming setup, still very happy with it one year later.

I gave up (trying to) making it by hand.

Nothing to be ashamed of! It's an easy way to make bread and there are a huge variety of recipes out there so you won't get bored with your machine. If you decide to try hand made bread again, I would suggest using this recipe from King Arthur Flour (I would also suggest their flour, as it is always good quality and works with any recipe I've ever used). https://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/our-favorite-sandwich-bread-recipe

You could also use this one in the picture (they keep updating the recipe on their site for some reason. This one is about 10 years or more old and came from a bag of their flour.). I have used it and made many, many loaves of sandwich bread with it. It's really easy and practically failure proof!
I don't know if you have one but a kneading hook on a KitchenAid mixer makes everything bread go much easier!

I saved the photo. Thank you so much.
[doublepost=1551917897][/doublepost]Oh crap I saved a picture of someone’s hideous feet by mistake. Ugh.

No pictures, but have ordered books, CDs, Kalles Kaviar, coffee, underwear from Decent Exposures, and am debating ordering a cashmere pullover.

Window awnings for my home office. If I open the blinds after ~10am it’s like a blast furnace.
This probably shows it better

Not an issue in the UK. We don’t get much sun!
