What's your latest purchase?

Well, windows 10 sucks ass, so much that I went back to apple. New I mac $2600, more than I want to spend, but knowing I will never have to deal with a fucked up os like windows 10 again, priceless. I'm tired of all the bullshit with 10 not recognizing my nas drives. Never had any issues with windows 7.

 

Got that. Maybe the 30, but use it every work day.

 

Apple has its hardware issues, never buy a Mac without AppleCare. That been said, I never went back to Windows after maybe 2008.

 

Are we talking the Yeti Tundra 65?

 

I came so close to buying that, would have if I could find it. May still get the rears.

 

Yeah, got apple care as well. I usually don't get extended warranties but for135 dollars I have 3 years peace of mind. Got to learn it all over again, ain't used mac since 2005ish

 

I have both. Not the Spark, AR and spitfire. The Aimpoint is great, but vortex is a winner with etched recticles, until you go underwater. Then Aimpoint all the way.

 

I had a hard time switching, until I realized don’t try so hard. The shit is easy. Terns and stuff are different, but so more intuitive. And the search gets you right there.

 

Just have to keep that in mind as I'm cursing at the damn thing....Thanks

 

Give it time, use TM backup. You will never lose a contact or anything again when a drive fails. Hey Siri, open disk utility, etc. Easy

Oh yeah, for your offsite backup - Backblaze. Covers all of your external drives as well. It's my third and best offsite backup solution. 350,000 images just a part of the TBs of data covered.

 

New cabinets for the garage

1 of these

2 more of these


And work surface

 

csf radiator, placed my order for the Magnuson Supercharger a couple days ago. Having both installed in June.

 

Picked this guy up yesterday. Too good of a deal to pass up. Little grimy but should clean up decent (I hope)

 

and now you'll spend triple on tooling for it.

 

Already have this morning along with a trip to the metal supply store to raid the scrap bin haha

 

oooohhhh, scrap bins, so fun.

 

My stuff is backed up twice, three drives, 1 off site in case of fire...

 

One of the first things I did was to remove siri. Nothing happened when I said; Hey Siri, suck my balls, so I got git of her.

 

Decided on the Ryobi 40volt

And a new door

 

Went about 3 hours each to pick up the worlds heaviest exercise machine for the wife, think I have reach the age where I can no longer assume that me and my hand truck can handle everything alone.

 

40Sw

 

Yeah, its called a right nut and a left arm!!!!!

 

Score

 

While I don't use the brand today, I have to give a kudos for a corded Ryobi jigsaw from I think 1989 that my brother in-law (who beat the he!! out of it) gave me in 2005 or so. I've used it a good number of times since, and It got me through one more job a few weeks ago (doggy door) before finally crapping out on me.

 

I find a lot of those where I work, I work for Union Pacific Railroad, and slime of these old lines that we work on have the old electric lines that would follow the tracks, I ha e a few at the house and had to look up the identifying marks they have to see what they are worth

 

certain colors and years go for more money than others. There cool little pieces, I made my boy a night light out of an orange one. Made salt and pepper shakers out a blue and clear.

that big one I posted was used in Montana around the 1890’s early 1900s. Majority of them were damaged beyond use before they went on the pole. Horse and buggy transport was rough on em. The ones that did survive had chips and stuff out of them. The one I bought has wire marks wore into it and tie wire marks.

 

Along the tracks I've seen clears, ceramic with brown, and aqua colored ones

 

As an IT guy, Apple seems to have just as many issues as windows. The biggest misconception I see is people who compare their $300 windows laptop to their friends $2000 apple laptop. Personally, my favorite computer options are a loaded XPS 15 or a Macbook with windows 10 instead of OSX
