Planning my veggie gardens by starting them in the grow bags where they will be transferred in late May or early June. I ordered two sets.

Have had my wall mounted system awhile, but got the foam cannon mounts installed. Need to clean up cable/hoses some. But man, I don’t know how I washed my stuff without this kind of set up. Total game changer.

Absolutely!! Diluted the foam too much, and car is coated so no super thick shaving cream on this wash.

I love washing my car and seeing other cars being washed, its so satisfying - with the foam gun, but your setup is the next level for sure. Epic color too.

Thanks man! I love the color of this thing! And this set up makes it so easy. I am also a freak when it comes to washing my car’s. I never go through a car wash, and there are like three detailers that I trust to lay their hands on my vehicles. Lol.

Well it's not here yet. But OEM Audio+ finally released the sub enclosure and both amps to round out the audio upgrade for my '23 BRZ. I've had the front 6 speakers since before I received the car. 1" tweeter and 4" wideband in the dash, then 6.5" mid in the doors. Then a quad coil 8" in a molded enclosure in the truck that fits really nicely and barely touches any truck space.

The front speakers have their own amp, the sub has it's own amp and the DSP processing and everything is specifically tuned to the car. Everything is plug and plug except running the power wire and separate sub control to the front of the car.

I think the total system is just under 600 watts. Looking forward to getting everything installed.

My wife bought me this last week for my upcoming birthday. She'd been "on the list" for a year and didn't tell me.

Going to have disqualify this beautiful watch as technically you didn’t buy it….

Edit: or maybe you did, indirectly.

Oh, I did, not so indirectly. Joint bank account-- but her income more less goes to helping our niece go to Colorado School of Mines.

And wine.

VERY expensive wine.

She's a freshman majoring in Applied Mathematics & Statistics and made the Honor Roll her first semester (missed Dean's List by a single point). She had a ton of AP work done (which she aced) when she showed up, so she basically started at the sophomore level. The plan is to have her come out of Mines in four years with a Masters. She just interviewed for an internship with Deloitte last week-- I spent a LOT of time coaching her, so hopefully that goes well.

Yeah, we're pretty proud of her.

R.

PS: My undergrad was Earth Sciences/Geology as well!

I'll try to get a pic of the watch my dad brought me that was his father's, apparently it's decently valuable..........but damn is it ugly as all sin.

Excellent investment, that is, in CSM (perhaps the watch too). I graduated awhile back in what was then Chemical Petroleum Refining, aka, Chem E. Worth the investment. Good for you.
