Non Flashlight orders/received

A friend sent me my first Fidget Spinner, an Atesson he bought off Amazon. It has brass weights, spins like 8 minutes. He has gotten 10 minute spins on his. So now I am in the business of making my spinner outspin his. :smiley:

Fidget Spinner parts on the way, first due to land by Saturday. lol

Cool! Is it one of these? Amazon.com

I never had a spinner before. Just ordered this one for $6.99 delivered
ATESSON Spinner

Yes Pete, but mine’s blue with gold brass weights. Which I will change Saturday. :wink: Shhhhh! I’m not gonna tell my buddy that I’m upgrading the spinner he sent me, just gonna floor him with run times (or that’s the plan)

Also have a premium hybrid ceramic bearing on the way. Actually the tungsten weights will be here tomorrow, bearing Saturday. :smiley:

As I understand it Glenn, those are a new offering with the bearing outers, more ways to have fun with it but less total spin time (if you’re into timing them and keeping records, which my buddy is)

I did some research on head-fi.org

The two best headphones for what I'm looking for, and for my budget, are the BossHiFi B8 and the Takstar Pro 82.

The Takstar is as good as the BossHiFi, but it's not super-easy to change the earpads for the TakStar like it is for the BossHiFi, so that made the choice simple for me.

I have a friend in Saudi Arabia that thinks very highly of me, sent me these for my birthday via DHL Express no less! :smiley:

Each are approx 29mm x 40mm, one is Mokume Gane (Cu/Br/NiSilver?) and the other is Titanium damascus (Gr 2/ Gr 4) The copper/brass one weighs 228 grams, the Ti one is a mere 115 grams!

Now what, pray tell, shall I do with these beauties? :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

That’s going to be one giant spinner. :slight_smile:

Or, quite possibly, my entry into this years scratch built challenge. :wink:

I don’t really care about changing the pads unless they’re really uncomfortable, in which case I’d probably not get the earmuffs in the first place. :smiley:

Wish I knew wotnahell I did with my Senns. Those I could wear all day and not even feel ’em.

The stock pads should be reasonably comfortable, though they are pleather.

I like velour, so that's why I have to change the ear pads.

My wife loves the Sennheiser’s I bought her for her Birthday a couple of years ago…

The Honda EU2200 came today. I put oil in it. Haven’t tested it yet because I have to get fresh gas. I’ve got 1 year old fuel around. I don’t want to mess with that in a brand new generator. I’m sure it’s going to be a winner.

Running it for 60 minutes with a 200 watt load attached. It’s weird that the manual says nothing about break-in. They should have said it’s not needed. Anyway, it’s smooth running and very quiet.

Nice… you always prepared.

Nice! Sling it over your shoulder and use it to power a hot rod flashlight! :smiley:

Just ordered one. Damn you BLF!!!

I’ve been looking at Generac whole house generators, but they cost around 6 or 7 thousand dollars installed. I have natural gas, so that would be the ultimate setup for me. Maybe in the next year or so. In the meantime, this will power my fridge, gas heat, and a few LED light bulbs in case of a long-term power outage.

OK, you play with your fancy fidget spinners and spin for 10 minutes, pfff, I’ll beat you with my 3 euros one right now!

Spinning… spinning… stopped. OK, 46 seconds, you feel my breath on your neck? Ha? :person_facepalming:

I bought the spinner to play with for 5 minutes, then I will pass it off to my neighbor’s 5 year old son. I’m sure he’ll get a kick out of it. If I really like it, then I’ll buy the better model for myself.

Ha! I also ordered a cheaper/smaller one for my 3 year old because I know the moment he sees mine he is going to want one. :slight_smile:
