  1. I should have combined these posts ... oh well. Also selling my Hamilton Intra-Matic 38mm dress watch. This is a great piece, super slick and very subtle. https://austin.craigslist.org/jwl/d/austin-hamilton-intra-matic-38mm-black/7158112892.html $325 on here.
  2. CL listing here - https://austin.craigslist.org/jwl/d/austin-hamilton-intra-matic-38mm-black/7158112892.html. $325 on surly.
  3. The watch thread is full of clearly higher-quality posters :). That's a typo ... I'll do $1100 here as well.
  4. Selling my Sinn EZM3 finally. It just doesn't get worn at all. I love this watch - comfortable, stylish, definitely not well-known, and incredible quality. Listing here https://austin.craigslist.org/jwl/d/austin-sinn-ezm3-watch/7158102615.html. Would do $1100 for one of you fine horologists on this thread. I'll ship it if you want, you pay shipping + insurance.
  5. Awesome german tank of a watch. Not getting any wrist time, so selling. Will discount for a shaggster to $1150. https://austin.craigslist.org/jwl/d/austin-sinn-ezm3-watch/7158102615.html
  6. SOLAT (the tempo from unplugged serves the song better than the studio cut) Alive/Once/Footsteps Elderly Woman Do the Evolution / Brain of J (Yield is their most complete album .. has the rock anthem tracks a'la Ten, and the artistic reach tracks a'la Vitology/Binaural). Rearviewmirror (.Vs is a tight, tight album altogether tho) -
  7. Happy to deliver it to you (if in Austin) for $70 if you want to return yours lol ... hardest way to make $5 in the history of the world Worth checking - did you buy a full HD (1920x1080) or an Ultrasharp (1920x1200)? This one is the latter ... doesn't seem like much, but it lets you get more information on the screen. Just a thought. Delivery offer stands.
  8. strangely, none. Bit of an older model, and certainly business-centric. One vga, one dvi-d, and one displayport.
  9. This one -https://www.dell.com/is/business/p/dell-u2412m/pd. Cosmetically and functionally perfect. Comes with power cable, no VGA or HDMI cables tho. Located in Austin. Cash only.
  10. Respectfully, I think you're misreading that webpage. The second one you posted is ~$230. That said, this is still the winning idea. I'm currently leaning towards this one from amazon - https://www.amazon.com/Reelcraft-TB-05-Tool-Balancer-5-Pound/dp/B002CVTKK6?th=1.
  11. For various reasons, moving the car to park in a different section of the garage isn't our preferred option. The main breaker box is on the outside wall of the garage, so the charger could go anywhere along one wall, or anywhere along the back wall. We've thought it through and this is the preferred solution, taking everything into account.
  12. Oh damn ... I like this. Thanks! Edit: Dang, the cheap one you linked only has a half-meter of cable. I need ~3 (10' ceilings).
  13. Yeah. I don't want to put the cord on a reel. I want it to drape on the ceiling, and just pull it down to the car when I need it.
  14. Ok home DIY and problem solvers, help me out. We got an electric car, and are putting a big charger in the garage. We park the car towards the middle of the garage, so the charger is going on the back wall. I want to swage the power cable across the ceiling so it doesn't drape across the middle of the garage every time we plug in the car. What I want is a way to have the plug readily available near the back of the car, but up out of the way. I'd like to get/find some sort of cable reel, or industrial pulley, or even just a soft spring of some sort, so that the cable lives/stays on the ceiling, but I can just reach up, grab it, pull it down and plug it in. I'd also prefer to NOT spend >$40 or so. I've found the extension cord retractors at HD - that would do the job, but seems like a waste. I looked at lifeline / harnesses for high-wire workers, which would nail the use case but are crazy expensive. I even thought about a portable clothesline, but the retraction springs aren't very strong in those, there more designed for lockout strength so you can hang stuff on the outstretched line. So - any good ideas?
  15. I can't +1 this any harder. My godfather is a WP grad. My wife and I joined he and his wife for a game many years ago. Got to see a tattoo, which blew my fucking mind. I've seen several in my time, at various parades, some boy scout stuff at Mabry, etc. These guys were next fucking level. Tailgated with the nicest random people ever (eat shit Nebraska, you ain't got nothing on West Point). Saw not nearly enough of the history, but the history of that place, the people that have walked those grounds and sat in those buildings will humble you right quick. The river overlook and strategic defensible positions were fascinating to me - still remnants of the big chains they used to block the river during invasions (i.e. the goddamned American Revolution). Plus it's stunningly beautiful country. If you get a chance, you HAVE to go.
  16. She's just a force. Plus, you know, she can actually sing. Thoughtful. Progressive. Honest. This song speaks to me ... I've brought shame on my family, I've caused the people I love to stumble, and I've stumbled myself. But that's not me; I want to be a blessing to people I meet, I want to help people back to their feet.
  17. I set 'em up, you knock 'em down.
  18. Said with great respect, everyone makes this too damn complicated. You don't need so much solvent that enough drips off that you can reuse it. Why not just have a five gallon bucket full and dip the shaft into it? Get a spray bottle, put your solvent in there. Get the 2" grip tape. One piece, about an inch shorter than the grip length, run it vertical up the shaft and wrap around. Helpful to peel the backing off before you finish wrapping the tape on the shaft, but not a requirement. Club under your armpit, grip in your left hand, spray bottle in your right. Stand in the grass. Spritz the peeled tape on the grip until it's wet all over. It doesn't need to drip off. Three spritzes into the open end of the grip. Drop spray bottle into grass, and move shaft into hand. Helpful to have a shop rag between your hand and the shaft. Plug open end of grip with finger and flip the grip over a few times to coat internally. Pour solvent out of grip onto grip tape ontp top of shaft. Pinch end of grip to fit over top of shaft, and slide down with emphasis. If you've done it right, a bit of solvent will shoot out the hole in the top of the grip. Align, and set club aside. You've got 60 seconds or so before the grip becomes hard to move around, you don't have to panic.
  19. Please keep the bluebonnet stories coming. I have a serious soft spot for that place. Sometime around 2000, buddy and I signed up for one of their BBQ tournaments, a 2-man best ball (not a scramble) on a Sunday. We spent Saturday night drinking our weight in whatever we could get our hands on. It was winter, maybe January during our college break. We dragged our raggedy asses out of bed at 8 to make the 9am first pitch. We had four hard ciders that we put in the trunk where they'd stay cold. Shotgunned one each at the turn, and had one in the cart. He shot 73 on his own ball, and I contributed on two holes all day; a random birdie somewhere on the front, and an eagle 3 on 12 hitting 5i from the left fairway bunker to two feet. The other 16 holes I might as well have been in my pocket. Great fucking times. They ran that course the way I want a local muni to run. Keep the greens nice, grow a little grass on the range, and keep the pace of play up. Do that, and you'll never want for play.
