I've been impressed with my Klipschs so far.

Have dealerships started handing out good deals yet or are they still convinced vehicles are worth their weight in gold?

I negotiated ~$10k off the price and got wayyyy more for my trade-in than I had any right to.

That said, they're still expensive. But so is literally everything else.

How many servings will you actually get out of that?

How many servings will you actually get out of that?

Less than they say. If I had to guesstimate, I'd say it's .75oz/serving. I just take a swig from the bottle. Usually once in the morning. I don't believe in any health benefits, but I really like the taste. I restrict usage due to expense, and having acid on my teeth. Probably best to not have a heavy diet of vinegar.

If they made Welch's Grape Ghost energy drink with no caffeine or any of the other "energy" parts, I'd easily drink like 7 per day. I love that artificial grape flavor and they absolutely nailed it.

Our juices are a delicious, nutritious way to treat yourself with every sip.

I'm not sure I feel exactly the same way about similar products, but yea, in a lot of cases, you're right on the money.

I love Splenda - sucralose. Not only is it the closest thing to actual glucose, it's seems to be harmless - at least as far as can be said after being in the US market for nearly 30 years.

But that's old news. You're talking about flavorings and I've noticed that some are at least an order of magnitude better and more realistic than what were euphemistically called "flavorings."

I guess IFF (Int'l Flavors and Fragrances and their ilk) have leveled up.

Just got back from a 10 day trip visiting the Florida Keys. We drove down from Sarasota and while on the 997 north of Homestead it is a plant lovers paradise. There are so many family owned garden centers and nurseries it is almost overwhelming.

We couldn't buy everything we wanted since we flew down but we found four little 4" cacti at a cute little place called Isaac Farms. They had so many unique plants to choose from.

Anyway, my wife wrapped them up in newspaper with an abundant amount of tape and they made it home no problem! TSA didn't even question it as they went through. YAY!

While in Key West we purchased a piece of street art from a local artist named Jessica Stone. She creates her own works then uses reclaimed lobster trap wood to frame them. The name of her business is called The Art Cart and she can be found most days on Duval Street.




The end goal is to fill this wall with art from local street artists from the places we visit. So far we have pieces from San Francisco, Florence Italy, and now Key West.

This might be the worst alignment out of the box I've seen on a tool. Must have been a Saturday at 8:59PM deal at the factory in China. Going to have to bust out the hammer drill to get those retainer screws out to adjust it.

Clearly whoever put that together did not understand the assignment lol.

Also, those screwheads are super soft, holy cow. I got it, but I need to buy some better replacements.

Platinum Edition, fancy!


Just bought a 75m roll of wire for $241. Finishing up electrical in my garage and ran out yesterday.

Is it actual platinum? I'm guessing that has a much higher current density than copper so you can use much thinner wire.

Am I close?

That is one meaty looking vehicle. It looks massive enough to warp space-time.

I get butterflies in my stomach every time I drive or wash it lol.

I plan to drive it into the ground. I had a '19 V8 for a few years but downsized to a smaller SUV due to a longer work commute. I lost a ton of utility in that move, that, and I simply did not fit well in the SUV (6'7). The rest of the family is gigantic as well. I eventually plan to get a boat, and this will serve me well in hauling that around.

I was referring to the truck, the wire is copper, but it feels like buying platinum these days with the prices lol. Maybe aluminium wire is going to make a come back, although aluminium is expensive too...

She's pretty. Love the color. I may have missed it but what's the mpg on the v8? Now that I'm commuting and highway driving my mpg on my 7.3l F250 is about 16.5.
