  1. I think vaulted ceilings make for poor execution of atmos but not sure. I say pose the question over at avsforums if you are going for overkill. Edit: good luck. A theater space is badass.
  2. I have a the small sebenza with micarta inlays. I like it better. The inkosi has contours where my fingers rest that don't feel right. That is why I am going to sell it. Both great looking knives and great craftsmanship. The inkosi handle is smaller.
  3. Posting with tapa since pics not showing on my laptop.
  4. Got this in the mail this week. It's nice, but I doubt I'll keep it. Chris Reeve Small Inkosi
  5. As a guy with 10 g-shocks, you might be surprised how easy it is to talk yourself into another. But I get it. Whomever designs a system that removes ads for things you already bought will be my hero. I hate that phenomenon. I bought it. Advertising worked. Now you are wasting money.
  6. There is actually an economic phenomenon where people subconsciously add value to stuff they own. They cannot be objective. Or one of two things happened. 1) they get a “deal” price but value it at what they were told it was worth not what they paid. 2) they paid MSRP +tax like a dope. Either way just tell them to call a gun shop that buys used guns and ask what the shop will give them. That is an eye opener some time. Red’s will tell you they will pay wholesale and then discount based on condition.
  7. Bout to go on a collection trimming spree. I’ll probably post these and other on bladeforums in the next few days.
  8. I opted for the Chainsaw method. Will follow up with roundup until it dies enough for the roots to weaken and I’ll dig it out.
  9. Loofas get gross and are excessively harsh. https://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/5613734
  10. When I left UT in 2005 I was 191. I haven’t been in the 190s since 2009.
  11. 200.6 lb after the gym/ mowing the lawn today. Officially have lost 40 pounds over 153 days. When it drops below 200 it might get dusty.
  12. Timely tip from Neil Sperry

  14. I’m glad I read this today and not Sunday. I thanked the lady in the drive thru. Turns out it was “her pleasure”.
  15. Another risky day: Election Day. 18% increase in motor vehicle deaths
  16. Its like you are in my head. I’m calling the retention specialist on the way home.
  17. If they add AT&T sportsnet let me know. That’s when I’ll switch.
  18. If you keep a search going for a month on any of the online used cars sites (caravan, auto trader, cars.com, etc) you’ll find good deals. Carmax is inflated on sales just like most dealers just not as inflated. And their price offers on trade ins is just above auction.
  19. Or look at suggested values from KBB Honda Accord EX 2017 new $26k 2017 used $21k dealer $20k private party 2015 used $16k dealer $15k private party
  20. I got used at howdy Honda for kbb price for used 2 year old model which was several thousand less than new and under 20k mileage. This has not been my experience with other dealerships in the past. I think what people are seeing is the dealership will offer auction price or less for a three year old trade in so people will sell it themselves for a few thousand more. Example: I traded in a three year old Dodge Charger a few years ago. It was the new body style so that wasn’t an issue. Trade in value (per kbb) was $19k. They offered $16k. Private sale value was $21k and dealer used price listings In the area with similar features and mileage i saw were $23k. A new listing for same model two years newer were low 30s. If you buy used from a private seller that doesn’t want to be screwed by the dealer but doesn’t want to spend time haggling, you could save $10k on a low mileage used car.
  21. I’ll look it over. I saw it but haven’t read the thread yet.
  22. Thanks for the responses. Lots of good ideas. I have some research to do now.
