  1. I would like snow, for sure, and I also like driving in it. I feel like the cold is justified if it's snowing, otherwise, it's just cold and annoying and overcast. That said, I wouldn't complain if an extremely snowy winter was sprinkled with the occasional day like today.
  2. I was working on the roof of a school all day today, and I got sunburn. Feels nice.
  3. According to the comments that chick is naked all over the innanet fyi.
  4. I'm still very amateur, but I love the LowePro Slingshot bags as linked above. I started with the small size 102, and now that I have 3 lenses and other accessories I use the large one, the 302. As shown on the website, it's handy the way you can swing it around to your front, and use it almost like a hanging workbench lol. http://www.lowepro.com/assets/images/slingshot_inuse_200h.jpg It also comes with an integrated, hidden rain cover that works well and encompasses the whole bag. I gave my parents the small one when I upgraded, and it has held up very very well.
  5. I drive a tiny truck COME AT ME. But srsly, nice truck man. Dig the headlights on that body too, considering black housings for mine.
  6. What size turbo justifies a 6" exhaust? 4" is factory pipe size on most Diesel Pickups now.

    Gatlinburg, TN

    Go to the goddamn national park right there. It's very badass. It pains me how many people drive to Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge (The Smokey Mountains) and then do all the tourist trap bullshit you can do at Myrtle Beach. National Park, Mountains, Cliffs, Bears, Elk, Hiking, Waterfalls, Creeks, Old settlements, Amazing Driving Roads OR Shitty go-karts, the Apple Barn, An Amusement park named for Dolly Parton
  8. Perhaps text messages and a decent speech to text app would work?
  9. Hoblick? Or is that one white?
  10. I got an ipod touch for xmas, first apple product ever for me. The chicks now dig me way more than ever.
  11. I thought i was in the market myself, before I bought my ranger. They are tough to find in good shape. All of them I found were rusty in either the wheelwhells or rockers.
  12. Before looking up codes or laws, go take a look at a map of wind patterns in central Ohio. The few turbines you see around town are nothing more than PR efforts. The nearest area with winds viable enough for turbines is along lake erie... A tiny stretch of land in Champaign county is very borderline. Aside from pro wind crap, when is construction/demolition at cooper park set to begin? Years out still? I'm way out of the loop.
  13. I'd be in for a t-shirt for sure, maybe a hoodie or something too. +1 on the 270 idea, and the disclosure as well.
  14. Do a google search on "lag compensation" in MW3. It's a "feature" that has been poorly executed in this version of the game, and has become a pretty big issue. The developer is aware of it and is supposedly issuing a patch to fix that and make a few other changes. While I do notice it sometimes, it's not very prevalent. My connection is generally good as are those of the people I play multiplayer with.
  15. Maybe I'm missing something, but the black steel wheels in the picture are not Mickey Thompson Classic II's, as the box below it suggests. Classic II has round holes, not the D-shaped, and are aluminum.
  16. Maybe look into some Rigid "Dually" LED lights, they draw almost nothing, and they are very comparable to HID lighting. They are great products, made in the USA. https://www.rigidindustries.com/category-s/131.htm http://www.snakeracing.com.au/rigid-led-lights/photos/D2-Driving_2130.jpg http://www.snakeracing.com.au/rigid-led-lights/photos/Dually-Spot_2124.jpg They only draw 15 watts, and produce 1300 lumens. There is a brighter (2600 lumen) "Dually D2", but they cost substantially more and draw 28 watts. Both are solid products though.
  17. Pics/model/offset of jeep wheels?
  18. I believe my dad paid $450ish for his Honeywell. I'm not even sure where/who he bought it from.
  19. To the OP, as others have said, the gas used during the "catch-up" period would not be enough to offset the savings of having the thermostat turned down for a period of time. This is largely due to the relatively high discharge temperature of a gas furnace, and its ability to quickly increase space temperature. HOWEVER, in a full electric home, with a heat pump and emergency heat (a heating coil/toaster), this catch-up period would use a comparatively larger amount of energy to heat. This is because electric heat produces a much lower discharge temperature, and it must run for longer to increase space temperature. I still don't believe this excess energy use would offset the savings of heating to a lower temperature all day/overnight, but it would surely come closer with an electric only system. I work for a building controls company, and the majority of my work is in hvac. We don't do residential, but the principles are the same. My dad just put one of these Honeywell units in, along with a new gas furnace: http://www.forwardthinking.honeywell.com/related_links/thermostats/prestige/new/prestige_YTH9321R5061_lores.jpg http://yourhome.honeywell.com/home/Products/Thermostats/7-Day-Programmable/Prestige.htm Pretty much shits on the apple device imho. It includes portable thermostat/remote that not only adjusts temp remotely, but can take over priority to control temp in the specific space of the remote. It also includes a wireless outdoor temp/humidity sensor that reports to the main and remote thermostats.
  20. Most newer diesel trucks have cleaner exhaust fumes than gas cars, as long as the emissions shit is left in place. People are dumb.
