Not bad, but Columbia is more my style. A lot of their gear has a more casual/dress look. I'm not trying to look like Sir Edmund Hillary when I take my gal to the steakhouse. ______________________________ http://i.imgur.com/Gj5Wy56.jpg

I almost pulled the trigger randomly on a 64g micro sd card.
I have so many external hard drives it's ridiculous but that's because about 75% of them have crashed.
Right now I'm down to a single steady state, the hard drives in devices and a couple of sd cards And I'll probably have a new external steady state by the end of the month.
I asked my dude what he does, and he's gone completely to the cloud, and now I have like 5 google drive accounts that I'm about to start using.

controlling the height of the flame, don't you just take the aluminum cover off, move the slide to +, lift the slide up off the nozzle and move back to the - side, move the slide down to engadge the nozzle, slide over to + again, and repeat?

I know we need it to live but I love eating out.
We buy groceries and I'm thinking about the Peruvian Chicken spot the next day.

IF its just the food, learn to make the stuff they do.

30. "yup...but my buying habits have changed over the years" In response to Reply # 17
I'm not much of a "there were only 5 copies of this record released on see thru marble vinyl" anymore. I know buy records that I actually want to hear...and play.
Been on a big Luther kick here lately. Went to Wax N Facts and they had all the ones I needed for 4 bucks a piece..had to walk away from them cause we hadn't paid bills yet..come on payday...
I don't have the time to play as much as I used to, but I still buy them and at a higher rate than before.
For every 3 games I cop it usually goes like this:
-one will get a legit running through (either finish the story/campaign or put a ton of time into the multiplayer)
-second I'll start to play but might only play for a few hours and then weeks/months go by before I think to go back to it and at that point I've forgotten how to play, where I'm supposed to go in the story, etc.
-third game is never opened and still in original packaging

26. "records and outdoorsy shit" In response to Reply # 0
I sold off about 500 records several years ago because I didnt need all those doubles of hip hop singles that I had. Now I am just going to the store and buying like crazy again. I barely have time to sit and listen to them. Shit my studio is under construction right now and nothing is even hooked up. So I cant listen to them.
I like to fish and hike. Live 15 minutes away from two good sized lakes. Not to mention the dozens of quality hiking trails near me. So I built up my gear for fishing. But my brother went and fucked me all up. He started giving me all his left over military shit he doesnt use anymore. Plus I watch him at the lake with his military grade shit and all his goodies and think now I gotta do that. He gave me an old tactical backpack I now use for fishing. Thankfully it was free. But then I had to upgrade my hiking backpack to a tactical pack because they are so fucking comfortable and durable. $80 gone. I also have 4 different knives. One that I carry everyday. A bigger one for hiking that has serrated edges incase I gotta hack something down or cut some rope. One in my fishing gear and another in the car. Dont get me started on the fire starting kit, maglite's, 550 cord, mulit tools, and other unnecessary shit in my bags. I mean I go for like 3 mile walks and I am prepared like I'm in the Alaskan wild and a snow storm is coming. But fuck it shit is cool.

Yeah it sounds weird but for a person who still has a few pair from 25 years ago all worn out but always keep a few clean just in case I'm too lazy to wash clothes, I swear I got over 100 pair, I just threw away about 25 to 50 that either had a small hole or whatnot.
I think it's cause I always got a pair from a relative on my birthday or chirstmas every year, and I would lose a sock here and there all the time.

...except the company was just bought out. Cool for now but once that merger finalizes I'm imagining it will be a waste, since the company that bought them has a bullshit loyalty rewards program.
Also, getting the paper delivered. I never read the thing, since I get them faster digitally.
Cable too, I'm spending $200 a month and barely use it.
I guess in the new year, I need to modify some of my spending habits.
