Took the grand-daughters for pumpkin picking, one picked a white pumpkin, the other an orange one. Me, wife and I got a "sugar pumpkin" for a pie!
Two pairs of speaker terminals. They looked when when they in small plastic ziplock bags on the counter but back home they came in three types:
- uninsulated for 4mm bananas
- insulated w/o the 4mm banana-hole
- uninsulated w/o the 4mm holes.
Also a two litre glass can to make roseleaf liqueur.

I have lots of power transistors to match so I found theese three, oldschool and from a school rheostats, 300w, now I can test under any number of loads, and I think they're kind of cool.
I have some precision panel meters I will build into them, across the load.

Haven't bought it yet, but the car needs a new clutch. 240000kms isn't bad for a clutch 😛
Not looking forward for paying for it though.
Those with an E90 Xdrive - anything else I should look at while it's apart? I'm thinking mounts and linkage maybe?

Very nice.
When I was in Montreal last month, I got a bottle of 25 year Bas-Armagnac 😛 It was nice indeed.

Bought components for a JLH1996 class a amplifier.
MJ15003's, various discrete's and 2 aluminium mounting brackets.
CPC were cheapest for MJ15003 at just over £2 each , RS wanted about £5-50 for them each !

Wow! Even LCSC wants like 7$ a piece for them!

One used Nokian, one used Bridgestone, and one used Continental to replace the 3 bald winter tires on my Flex for as cheaply as possible. Although in hindsight I think I am being too cautious and probably it will last me a while before it finally bites the dust.
You'll end up twisting the frame with that Nokian on one corner. 🙂
Today I received a new monitor. 27" 1440p 144Hz Viewsonic curved. It is actually a downgrade for me, as I am passing my 28" 4K Samsung display to my wife for photo processing/editing work. Spyder 4 on the way as well.
Also, I paid $0 to do a fresh install of Manjaro Linux on a separate SSD drive today and I have to say I am very impressed so far. It'll take me a bit to migrate everything over and eventually abandon my years-old, 4-times-upgraded Ubuntu installation. It is about time I "cleaned house".

If you're using the GNOME version, install "system-config-printer" to make the "add printer" button actually work. They forgot that one...
I've been running Manjaro GNOME for a couple of years now after a long time on Ubuntu. I don't miss it. You don't have to upgrade it either - it's a rolling release.
AUR is great.
It took me a while to figure out some of the tweaks (like not compressing local packages - edit makepkg.conf for that one) and now that I've used zsh, bash seems lacking.
Enjoy playing 🙂

I can't do GNOME3. I was a GNOME user for a very long time until 3 came along and, like so many, I absolutely hated 3. Then I discovered MATE, like so many others, and breathed a sigh of relief.
This time around, I decided to give Cinnamon a try. So far I don't hate it. 🙂 A nice "Mojave" theme + Plank and a few tweaks - my daughter thought it was a Mac at first.

I'm in the camp that loves Gnome-shell. The overview hotspot with the mouse is MUCH better than alt-tab IMHO.
Now when I use Windows, I find myself getting mad that the overview mode doesn't exist lol

A roland TD17-KVX drum kit. Mapex P600 kick pedal, and Mapex H-P800EB high hat stand for my very spoit Daughter.
To replace the Yamaha entry level drum kit that I originally bought for my wife, but she never really played, but my daughter took to, and has outgrown.
Tony.

Sounds fantastic!
In the age of COVID, solitude seems like an odd thing to wish for - but I confess that I don't get nearly enough of it.
