Sure. So it's pretty unique actually. Orange & Vanilla are prominent. I sifted through my collection of 20+ bottles and the only one that comes close in flavor profile and scent is my Pure XS from Pacco Rabanne.

Just arrived from the dealer. I admit that saying good bye to my Lizard was more tough than expected.

I'm happy for you. I know how hard it can be to let go of an old friend. I had a GMC Sierra pick-up truck for 23 years. It was my daily for that entire time. When the rust finally took her to the point of no return I was heartbroken.
I know you'll have many hours of fun with the new bike. Play safe.

DCorn 7" HDMI monitor and generic wall mount for the Apple TV box in my garage. I need to move the ATV closer to the monitor and tidy up the cabling. But the image quality on the monitor is surprisingly good. The ATV in the garage is basically just a Bluetooth bridge into Homekit for the two door locks in the garage. But I can also see all my Homekit cameras on it.

When I replaced the struts on my car I noticed that the control arm bushings were shot. Looks like I've got another few hours on my back under the front of the old girl.

Hollow chisel mortiser and a nice powermatic but for it. Pic is before it was mounted on its own shop table.

Makes cutting mortises much quicker and easier.

Nice Model 3. Did you replace your Model 3 briefly with another car, or just sold it a while back?

I got an offer I couldn't refuse on my previous model 3 back in like Jan I believe. Plus it was about to go out of warranty so I ended up selling it. I missed it so decided to order another in March. Lucked out as they raised the price $5k and stopped including chargers right after I ordered. I figured I would milk these crazy times as much as I can. I don't ever recall a time where I could buy a car, drive it for a year or so then sell it for equal or more than what I bought it for (unless we are talking special collectable cars).

Too many cars right now though, I got a pretty nice offer on the mustang so that one might be getting the boot soon.

The market is indeed crazy, we did very well when we traded the wife's GLC for a GLE, especially considering the discount we originally got on the GLC and the low interest rates. I think you'll miss that Mustang though, its a nice counterbalance to have the rumbling V8 in comparison to the Tesla's silence.

Had me a V8 Mustang GT; supercharged with a Magnaflow exhaust. That baby purred.

Had to part ways. It was a manual and I had an accident that ruined my ability to use a clutch.

Badly fractured my left ankle hiking in Mt Baldy. No more clutch for me.

I probably will and I will probably end up buying another manual V8 down the road. It's more of a logistical pita when there is more than 3 cars. I would love to keep it up in NC but only a 1 car detached garage up there. Eventually I would like to build a big garage/shop but who knows when that will happen. Right now I'm just thinking for how long will I be able to get this much for it. I feel the car market is going to take a downturn with everything else and I'm sure big V8s even more with gas the way it is. Dunno.

I'm not much of a modder, but I love the way it sounds stock. I had a C7 and a camaro before and the main thing I disliked about those cars was the sound... or lack thereof.

This car sounded pretty good stock, but the Magnaflow exhaust sounded awesome. BTW, not a big modder either but glad I added it. Usually added an aftermarket exhaust to my past cars and never regretted it.

Govee Smart fan. I needed a quiet fan and preferably one I could control with my home automation setup. This works perfectly for that. I already have 3 Govee air purifiers, so I know they make decent stuff. The app controls them all, plus they work with my home automation app (HomeKit). I went to grab this screen shot and found Amazon has a $20 off coupon now, so I just ordered another one.
