    I didn't notice the French press feature. That definitely looks like a nice set. And, it would save you the extra space of having to pack a separate coffee maker.

    I have been using freeze dried coffee, so I only use mine to boil water. I'd definitely go for the Jet-boil kit if I were going to make real coffee.

    Packers aren't playing, should be a good game but I don't really care who wins.

    I'm just being a smart-ass because I'm such a casual viewer when it comes to watching sports. I always do look forward to watching the Super bowl (although if I missed it it wouldn't be a huge deal.) It's usually a decent game and the commercials can also be entertaining plus I usually have some good food during it too.

    I guess I'm kind of in the same boat. I'll watch for the commercials, but don't really care. No party here, though. Watching alone while I make dinner.

    So. Many. Stickers.
    As a high mileage 3rd gen, switch to 5W30 and every 5k. You'll last forever.

    Drain plug should be 29 ft/lbs with a new crush washer.

    Can confirm, they're a solid setup

    There was a pretty mediocre musical performance on TV. But, it's over.

    I'm glad I missed it. I've been sharpening some new(ish) chisels in the workshop. Fun times.

    That's probably more interesting than the halftime show was. I actually like Rihanna, but that was a big bag of meh.

    Well, I ordered an electric blanket. I tried it today, and my Milwaukee inverter isn't cutting it. So, I ordered a 12 volt one.

    I'm a football fan, but this afternoon I decided to take advantage of the warm weather. And I wasn't about to let a bunch of pesky home projects get in the way of finally getting my Matt Gecko LED lighting installed. Turned out pretty fantastic if I do say so myself. Huge upgrade that I've been looking forward to.

    And yeah, I know I need to spend some time cleaning up the engine bay. It's just more obvious with the new lighting. :D

    @pearing I think it was you that mentioned that the under hood lights from this kit weren't bright enough for you. The kit came with two LED strips and seems pretty sufficient for me. Did your kit only come with one strip when you got it? I also chose the bright white, not the soft white.
