My Jeep is my baby.
I have fitted it out with all the neat toys: winch with syn rope, crawl box transfer case, dual air lockers, armor plate from end to end, more horsepower, etc...
Not a great on street driver, kinda noisy, rough ride, and very costly tires, but...it looks the part, and goes anywhere...literally.

I will post a pic when I take one.

I just had 7 teeth pulled and implants done.

Oh man.
Oh man.
Oh man.
I am trashed.

Jeepster, ride with that saddle yet?

I have.
Did a BRick yday.(BRick- Bike + Run=ick).(I think BRicks are THE hardest workout on the ole body, I am in good shape and it kicks me). Did a 20K(14 miles) bike and a 5K(3 mile) run with race type transition(in other words-Hurry up).

The saddle was sweet. Not the lightest thing in the world but it sits nice. It sits a bit different than the velo(cheap saddle) it is replacing. There is a spot on the saddle you are supposed to light on and I am not lighting on it properly, I go too far back, so a relearning is in order. The pro fitting revealed this little tidbit. They did show me the "right" way though.

The Bike Source is a local franchise store for Specialized, and they have an entire room for nothing but saddles. They told me they sell a lot of saddles.

Went to the Sheldon Brown site and spent some time reading about bikes and fit, and saddles. ( http://sheldonbrown.com/saddles.html ).
This guy was a guru at least. He obviously had comfort issues and made it his calling to find comfort on a bike.
I looked, on line anyhow, at a bunch of saddles and almost went with a Fizak saddle instead as they were rated as having a good platform to perform on, a narrow nose and a wide sit zone with little transition from nose to platform, their thing, the transition. Looked a Brooks(discussed by Sheldon), and the ISM saddles too(also discussed by Sheldon). I went with Specialized and the Body Geometry system(also rated by Sheldon).
As costly as a good saddle is, I sure hope I chose... correctly.

I bought $1278.00 in dental work today. And since I refuse to play by the rules, not photos.

Shoot...
Trade ya.
4 weeks ago I had 7 teeth pulled and implants installed(???), put in(???), you know what I mean...
Many thousands of dollars.
Today I just got back from the dentist and found out that 2 did not align. ARGH!! Gotta wait 4 months for everything to heal up, and then try again.
ARGH!!
She(the dentist) is going to take the mis-aligned existing implants out next week to allow for healing. Oh man...

It occurred to me.
For the price of those implants, I could have bought myself a Titanium Dura Ace crotch rocket.

Wow...

I could have bought a nice used car...

Are those Hougue grips?

Click to expand...

I don't think so. The grips say "Ruger" on them. I am guessing not 500 rounds have been put through it. It is about 6 years old and in new condition. A Ruger P94.

This is my 1st .40 s&w. Came with a sweet belt holster. But is pretty big, too big to conceal carry(if one is skinny like me...I need small).

The 1st thing I needed to do before I could even shoot it was to paint the sights glow green.
My eyes...I have "old person eyes", can't see well close up. The sights are blurry to me. So if they are painted with glow paint, I can see them.
This must be a common issue as there is paint made just for this use...

I just bought a quadracopter. About 28 inches square. X-heli is the brand.
Don't work.
The battery won't charge. I think it is the ultra cheap charger that came with it. Could be the fancy lipro battery too.
Either way...DARN!

If it worked...it has near a 4 pound payload, for whatever(I got it for a go-pro camera and jeeping) and over a 1/4 mile range. 10 minute fly time(with no payload and a stock battery), 8 with a camera. Light wind is invisible and moderate wind doesn't ground it.

DARN.

Sorry...
