Burning another Saturday in front of the computer. This is still not worth it. YAY.

That computer works at my house, come on up.

 

 

Recently I have been turning the diy channel on and listening to it as I go about my days at home, but recently find that I am watching it more because some of those people do some really dumb and funny shit.

Renovation realities is really funny.

There should be no power now, I turned the light switch off, as he got shocked cutting the wires to an outlet.

 

 

There's a gas line in this wall!

 

Is there still gas in it?

 

Dunno...I'll cut it out anyway...

Shockingly, my sled didn't start when I first tried.

Saw gas move into the filter, then checked spark - none.

Rechecked safety tether, pulled and BAM first pull.

*I had forgotten to tighten one fitting on the gas line though. Quick adjustment and riptastic.

Took the w's out for a quick rip earlier which was the first time since I broke it besides in the yard. New track has it pulling its skis like a champ. Hooks up hard. Frickin' love it. Going on a night ride tonight when the kiddos go to bed.

Tomorrow I hope to get a chance to break in the IQR engine. Have to trailer to do that though as I can't move it until it's warm and once warm I want to rip right away to seat the rings. I know where to take it though

Burning another Saturday in front of the computer. This is still not worth it. YAY.

Keep the chin up brochacho.

Speaking of computer I am still waiting for the replacement for my replacement PSU from coolermaster.

Watch them boinc numbers when it comes back. Hot damn.

I need to get edumacated so I can network everything in my house.  I know NOTHING.

Really, really hate UPS dipshits...

Arrived at the UPS facility 35 miles from here last night at 7PM and they won't be able to deliver it until Monday? KMFA

They don't deliver on Saturday except for next day early AM.

When the fuck did that happen?

Oh I'm used to shipping items 2nd Day Air and this is Ground. Nevermind.

Anyone ever use the Microsoft Surface tablets? I'm thinking about getting one for taking notes specifically with a pen. Looks like the pro models offer a surface pen that isn't capacitive based so the detail is a lot better, and lets you rest your hand on the tablet when writing?

I like the build feel of them, the included back machine aluminum stand is pretty sweet too. Although I'm not that in love with windows 8 on tablet personally. Although the pro model is like a full fledged PC, so running it should support most applications that run on windows PC. I couldn't get used to the included keyboard. Personally I use a mechanical keyboard with Cherry MX reds, so I'm used to a much more tactile feel instead of the flat keyboard.

I'm not really a fan of Win 8 either, but having office and their One Note app would be pretty sweet. IIRC Sean liked Win 8, maybe I just need more time with it. :shrugs:

It is the same effort to me as 7, but faster. Seems to be a bonus IMO. Boot times in under 3 seconds rock.

Which would GUARANTEE me a car pc if Win 8 pc would fucking run google maps with nav.

I can't tell you how bad I want that

have you seen this? 

 

I know we discussed riding terrains before. I realize the machine is built for your purposes.

 

Whats your opinion on the taller stance on the sleds built in the more recent years? I know with my size I prefer a lower center of gravity to maneuver, but understand why lighter guys like the taller design.

It isn't about tall, but rider forward. Notice my IQr, there isn't a more rider forward sled on the market. It is WAY further than any consumer sled. Really allows you to get weight on the skis when you need to and on the track when you don't. I LOVE sleds that require an active rider.

Rolling mine onto its side boondocking is way easier than in the ass draggers as well.

I will never, never, ever, never own another low sled. Absolute horseshit for everything except super tight twisties if you want to relax and let the sled do the work.

 

As far as deep powder riding the last place you want your weight is over the ski's.

Vape porn, finally...

 

 

Atmomixani Nemesis Vape Pit Edition with Footoon Aqua rebuildable atomizer head. The Nemmy is in shorty mode, and the head is very big. The Nemesis in this mode is super tiny but heavy.

 

 

Nemmy in shorty mode and the eVic in long mode. The Aqua head is a tad larger than the Russian head.

 

 

Nemmy in full size (18650 mode) and the eVic in 18650 mode.

 

 

New toys and old... Nimbus dripping atty, Nemmy and Aqua, my old eVic and Russian 91%, and my Kayfun clone.

 

 

Nemmy with topless Nimbus rolling cloud...

 

 

Nemmy and Nimbus rolling.

 

Sorry, but getting a real Nemesis is a pretty big deal in the advanced vaping community, so I am pretty excited.

You'd have to get the Pro model, its the only one made for that.  I've got an RT version and I love it but I don't need/want to write notes on it with a pen.  

Since when, wow. I asked a Win8 specialist at Best Buy maybe 3 weeks ago and he said no.

You need a ride a modern sled, you will change your mind. I assume you've heard the term wrong foot forward? The whole goal when side hilling is to get forward...

Sean, I might be reinstalling my four and a half year old Windows 7, would you suggest I go with Windows 8.1? It will be used as a desktop. I am hearing it's just better overall, optimized and stuff.
