agreed.
Wife doesn’t want the River rock anyways I’m guessing the crushed stone is probably $30 a yard I will have to call back


Edit: $30 per yard. Cubic yard is 3000 #

 

Those stones I have are for border. Not the large ones. Crushed stone is grey/blue ish should look nice. And a fire pit ring. Then cold beverage of my/ our choosing.

 

Since all of you are talking about computers, I think I'm going to sell my desktop since I don't use it anymore.

CPU: 4790K @ 4.7GHz w/ Noctua DH-15
MB: Asus Sabertooth Z97 Mark 1
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws Z DDR3 1600 8GB x 4
PSU: Corsair TX750
Case: Fractal Midi R2

It no longer has any drives or GPU inside, but could throw something in.

 

Better catch up, I've been up here since last night

You know where I'm residing lol

 

True. We'll have a trifecta of TW folk an hour away from each other

 

My work computer is a 5th gen X1 Carbon and it's awesome. I have the dock for it on my desk and it supports three monitors so it's convenient to have one machine that I can take with me.

I keep wanting to buy one for home, but I barely use my ancient HP Probook at home as it is, so spening ~$1000 to replace it doesn't seem reasonable.

 

WTF. My work computer is an overworked Optiplex 5050. I suppose it's better than what it replaced, though, which was a circa-2004 Dell Optiplex Crap-o-Matic

 

I got a new work computer about a month ago. Thinkpad T480s, I can't get used to it being a touch screen but it's insanely fast and has been able to handle everything I do with ease. Before my laptop would shit the bed once a day and I'd lose so much productivity waiting for it to load connections and shit.

 

Many of the computers at my work have been replaced with NComputing L300 and Honeywell Thor VM1A clients.

 

I looked at the NComputing units years ago, but I couldn't get the whole VDI thing to make sense financially.

Most staff get ~$600 HP ProBooks or Dell Latitudes with i3s and SSDs. Most of what they do is web-based so it's plenty. A few admins get X1 Carbons. Kids get Chromebooks.

 

Anyone looking for Pro wheels? https://westernmass.craigslist.org/wto/d/granby-trd-rims-for-toyota-tacoma/6891343330.html

 

I've noticed new vehicles don't seem to come with the tint above the AS1 line anymore

 

My netbook was from 2009-2010ish. It had an Atom and 2 GB of RAM (came with 1 GB). I was struggling to even surf with it. My other laptop was a very destroyed Dell E1505 from 2006 with a half gig of RAM. The wife's laptop was an Asus with a Pentium. It was a Windows 7 machine, but since it had been dead since 2014 every time I used it Windows wanted to update.

I never had a machine with Windows 7 as my own. There are things about Windows 10 that I don't like, but I also don't hate it. My desktop was fancy at one point, but is probably just average now. I pulled up my records and it was

Core i7-6500
GeForce GT 370
24 GB of RAM

The shame is I've never gamed on it outside of emulators.

Mine's only a 2 cell. I'm not looking to use it long term without being plugged in, so we should be fun.

 

Today’s advice: don’t get your vehicle inspected at Grappone Toyota in Bow NH... just failed me for tire poke beyond fenders

 

How far out are your tires?

 

Nothing crazy. Young kid... think the ink was still fresh on his inspector license lol.

 

You failed for that? Damn that seems over the top. I'm not familiar with NH laws but that seems crazy.

 

Just trying to upsell some oem fender flares.

 

I swear it has rained daily for the past 2 months and the week I need to study for my board exam its been beautiful every damn day

 

First clay bar sesh this weekend on my apparently illegal car what a difference... been 8 years and I was forever hesitant. Shits like buttah!!! I’ve always tried to keep ‘er purdy though. Used mother’s speed clay handheld thing. And put the dock in. It’s been a 4 beer by 4pm kinda day
