  Finally gave into Friend peer pressure on making my avatar animal themed, especially feline. At least I have some good looking boys...

    ...then again maybe that's not saying much since I do that every time I visit the pets thread.

  About to mess with the clock settings on my SU-1 and Convert-2. Hope I don't accidentally cause a rip in the space/time continuum!

  Bought the SBAF tour DM Convert-2 and my wife is making me save it for my birthday. Will have been waiting 2 months. Grant me strength...

    I've been married over 20 years and she's the doctor in the family - I gave up the pants a long time ago! ;) And the waiting is self-inflicted as I am always told I'm impossible to buy gifts for.

  Thinking about either: 1) going back and rereading all of ASOIAF, or 2) rewatching all 8 seasons of GOT. Am I just a glutton for punishment?

  Just pondering why Mandarines doesn't have a US and/or Asian distributor for their Symbio W tips? Why ship everything from Hungary? $$$?

    I might be wrong but it seems Mandarines is a one-man operation, based in Hungary.

    I can order them off Taobao but if I recall I think I only got one set for not too much less than the same price for 3 when ordering from the US.

  Ever wanted as much of something as possible, and then when you got it wondered if it was good or not? That's me with the DM C2 right now.

    Dynamics and incisiveness overload. Been there. Yeah you think you want it until it goes too far and then you realize you’re getting too high a dosage and time to look for something that dials it back a bit.

  Important question to ponder - Would Hall & Oates have been as successful if they had been named Ho & Fish instead?

    Probably not as they would have crowd funded their albums, but never recorded anything.
