    They are worth it.   I've got the powermax 45

    Yeah I like that they have the best consumable life of any manufacturers out there.

     

    Though I can't help feeling guilty dropping $1200 on a machine I know I'll only use a few times a year.

    I've been trying to find a used one for the last 6 months or so but every machine I've seen posted is around the same price as buying new.

    Hypertherm for the plasma.   

    Hypertherm makes some really good plasma cutters but man are they pricey.

     

    I've been eyeing the XP30 from Hypertherm or maybe one from Miller as sometimes you can get them with a good discount.

    I need to find me a good lens for the a7ii .... sad that there isn't anything but "sports" quality lenses which you can't walk around with or only primes which I've found annoying to walk around with

     

    On my a57 I don't go anywhere without my 18-135 3.5-5.6, its a really great all around lens that performs well in most categories it makes for a very nice daily lens IMO.

    I'm ready. It's been almost two months of constant ass degrees below freezing. Except that Saturday when I worked with Vlad on his Miata. It felt like I was at the tropics. 

     

    Don't make me throw stones at you, you're close, so I have a chance of being on target :P

     

    Take a break, switch it up. I can no longer drink home-brew wine, had a period when I couldn't drink beer either. 

    Come see me ;)!

    I need to make my garage awesome (also known as workable).

    I just want to be able to park my wife's car in the garage (which I can do), have a work bench and some storage.Right now I have to get our old table and my work out equipment out. Moving into the new, smaller house has made space a premium.

    I also have a shed I need to put storage shelves into.

    I just remembered you're in SEks, where at are you? I actually just moved to Lawrence not long ago.


  6. IF I plan on working in my garage during the winter I'm going to need to get a heater. It's a relatively well insulated garage and it's pretty small as well so I won't need a gigantic heater. 

    Im looking for something preferably quiet as I hate working with a roar of a torpedo heater going. I'd prefer to run propane since storing it over long periods is a lot more hassle free in comparison to diesel or kerosene since I travel so much and I don't care for the smell of kerosene or diesel being burned. 


  7. Delta/AF had me fly into Laguardia I didn't find out till I landed that Laguardia is only domestic flights, So I had to take a $30 cab ride to JFK so I could fly to CDG.

    What's most annoying is that Delta/AF didn't notifiy me of that when I purchased my ticket, If I wasn't used to travelling that could of been an awful ordeal.

    I could have told you to avoid that.  Had you flown through MN we would have been on the same flight...

    My boss told me the week before he'd be purchasing my ticket, I called 3 days prior to leaving and said "Uhh.. Hey did you just want me to buy my ticket instead?" So I had to purchase the ticket last minute so not many options were available. I had to be here before the 12th to start work, only to find out today is the Prophets birthday so EVERYTHING is shutdown.

    Here I come Europe....again.  

    How funny we traveled to Europe on the same day (again), however I left around 8AM.

     

    Currently basking in the amazing weather here in Tunisia.. Here I am in a T-shirt and all of the tunisians are bundled up giving me weird looks, leaving the below freezing cold and coming to the high 60's low 70's is actually making me sweat.

    I can't put more weight on the bar as i cut this hard. Its just not working.  I need to go 100% clean or just change my strategy.

     

    Enter front squats. Fuck front squats. Fuck them hard.

     

     

    I can mainly only front squat since low/high back squats hurt my knees.

    Hostels maybe a MESS on NYE.  Hotels near Notre dame are $280, cheaper near the cler which is way better for eating.  How far are you willing to walk to dinner?  How about during the day?

     

    * I average nearly 30mi a day when in cities like Paris so I don't want to tell you what I would do without knowing more about what you are willing to do

    Walking isn't a big deal we can utilize public transport when needed, a couple miles wouldn't be out of the question. 

     

    $100 per day/person for food wouldn't be bad, more if it's worth it for an especially nice meal.

     

    i need to do some more solid planning, we can reserve the hostel ahead of time so as long as the reservation is kept we should be fine on NYE.  I believe the hostel we were looking is at  9-11 Place du Colonel Fabien
