Pre-ordered on Amazon for Friday delivery.  Don't judge me!

I'm more concerned that it is for Xbox. You should try out Ghost Recon Wildlands.

Welcome to the dark side my friend. Now become one with it. 

@SGH - I've had a Merkur for about 4 months.  I saw this Futur clone for $19 bucks, ordered it, but gave it to our Brisket Camp lawyer to turn him on to DE shavers. 

@eoin Yes, SWMBO picked it up as a joke because it only cost a buck.  But I drank it, because that's how I roll.

Why only one when you can have 77?

Is 77 Natties like toliet paper math? 77 Natties = 19 regular beers.

77 natties is worse than hitting rock bottom

Snagged a 3qt sauce pot for 20% + free shipping at Williams & Sonoma...  love the newer brushed lines, which all my mirror finished pans matched.

You could go 99 pack if Nattie isn't your thing

If you buy that watch don't count on it setting the proper time itself for much longer. The 2019 federal budget has the National Institute of Standards shutting down their time/frequency standard stations WWV/WWVH/WWVB.

WWVB is the one used by various items like clocks and watches to catch a radio signal used to set the correct time.

Not the end of the world, but it would brick millions of consumer devices and that would be a huge PR mistake, given it only costs around 7 million a year to run that network of radio stations.

OK, so maybe it will be the end of the world, but not because of that, but because of (watch movie Idiocracy)

nolaegghead

Science...bad.  But voters get what they vote for.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) FY 2019 budget request includes shutting down “NIST radio stations in Colorado and Hawaii” — in other words, WWV and WWVH. Radio amateurs, HF listeners, and others around the world routinely make use of the time and frequency standard signals, which also include propagation information. NIST said eliminating funding currently “supporting fundamental measurement dissemination” would include putting WWV and WWVH off the air for a saving of $6.3 million. The NIST FY 2019 budget request for efforts related to Fundamental Measurement, Quantum Science and Measurement Dissemination is $127 million, which, the agency said, is a net decrease of $49 million from FY 2018 levels. The Administration's overall NIST budget request is more than $629 million.

Please post pics when all is installed!

Lift is getting installed on Thursday, wheels won't be in until 11/3.  Hopefully it won't snow before the wheels/ tires are in and princess gets put away for the winter.

Ok as much as a BGE nerd as I am, I'm also a Stihl nerd as well, I bought a Stihl Dethatcher attachment for my Yardboss system.

You know that's not even remotely possible. Or reasonable.

Tonight, it is true. I had three books arrive today. And I have some unread on my bookshelf. So, I must put a pause on my book buying tendencies and catch up.

Oh, and please, read. From a printed page. And from a publisher that hires editors to vet written works.

There was a decade or so where I lost my love for reading. I will strive to not let that happen again. Whether fiction (Tolkien, Orwell, Lewis) or not (Kruse, Bonhoeffer, Snyder), reading expands one's mental palette.

The Japanese have a word:

Everybody should have a pile of books waiting for them. I've got dozens just waiting for baseball season to finally wrap up but I can't let that stop me from ordering more in the meantime.

Just put in order for new MDX Hybrid.
