Non Flashlight orders/received

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:

I’ve gotten to really like Senns. They do have the “veil”, which at first I thought I couldn’t get used to, but for long-term listening, it’s quite effective.

“Bright” earmuffs sound great at first, crisp’n’clear, but can grate after a while. Slightly subdued treble like Senns are (in)famous for, I can listen to all day.

Yah, we know how that’ll go…

He’ll get the big one, and you’ll get stuck with the smaller cheaper one. :smiley:

Well, on the fidget spinner front, my friend bought this Atesson for me so it was free to me, then I spent $27 on Tungsten weights and bought a top of the line premium grade ceramic hybrid bearing for a ludicrous $43! The tungsten weights are supposed to net 3x longer run times, the bearing, well, don’t know. Better be good for the price, right? :stuck_out_tongue:

I was just gonna tell my buddy about these fantastic run times I’m getting and not say anything about the expense I’ve gone to in order to get there, but I couldn’t bring myself to do it. I told him about the upgrade parts that should start arriving tomorrow. lol

Dale, you’re such a kid. Nothing wrong with that. Same here. At 66, I still laugh when someone farts.

Heh… I saw those tungsten weights, but I thought that was a bit much. Keep us posted though - I can always change my mind. :slight_smile:
