Had a new electrical panel installed the other weekend. Old one was getting fried. 200 amps for future possible expansion. Maybe solar panels at some point.

It only took 58 days; and then making one incorrect and having to fix it, but these are finally here!

Quality and fit and finish seem amazing, but the communication can definitely use some improvement.

A classic suit for the occasional event/meeting where polo and jeans are too casual.

Just bought this cam. I have a spot I want to put a camera to cover my front yard, but the mount point is between two soffits where they almost intersect. So a turret cam mounted flush on that wall would have an obstructed view. This bullet cam is almost 7" from the base to the lens, so that should let it mostly clear the obstructions. I've been thinking about getting one of these for a while, but that $15 coupon brings it down to a reasonable cost.

Office pool is up and running for the last couple weeks. I figure between the $2 investment at work, and the walk to the corner store with $20 for my wife, I'm in pretty good position to win SOMETHING.

If you were the sole winner of 910 on Friday, 10 is about all you would get

I'd be good with 10 mil too. That would last me a good long time.

BTW, I have never once bought a Lotto ticket. Not sure why.

Lotteries are a voluntary tax for the stupid.

That's a valid perspective, and there are many, many that should not even think about buying lottery tickes with their limited funds, but maybe not so much in a high-end German car forum. I suspect that most of us can afford the occassional $2+ to try to grab a piece of a distant dream. When the pot gets over about $400M I'll plunk down for a few. It's fun to tease my wife, asking her where she intends to live with her 1/2.

I like to say that you won't win if you do play, but you _can't_ win if you don't.
